| Five years ago, then-Sinning Congressman David Vitter during a radio show, responded to the true allegations that he committed the crime of solicitation and the sin of adultery multiple times by stating:
"I think you know that that allegation is absolutely and completely untrue...I have said that on numerous occasions ... I'll say that in any forum," Vitter said during the broadcast on WSMB radio. "Unfortunately, that's just crass Louisiana politics, now that I am running for the Senate. I have made that clear that it is all completely untrue...And, it's obviously politically motivated."
Actually, Sinning Senator, what was politically motivated was your crass lying to the people of Louisiana. That was the first time you "did a Vitter" as loyal GOP operatives knew of the multiple visits to brothels in Louisiana, as well as the sordid saga of your relationship with Wendy Cortez, but felt that political power for them via your campaign was more important than doing the right thing by finding a less ethically challenged candidate to support.
I bring this up yet again, not only to remind folks that David Vitter is not only a Sinning Senator but also a liar as well, and he is continuing to lie to us about it. Yesterday, during an open house in Houma, he was asked how he would respond to questions regarding his involvement with Wendy Cortez, as well as the DC Madam, and possibly quite a few more prostitutes:
"By very sincerely saying it was a serious sin in my past, 10 years ago, and asking for forgiveness beginning with the folks who where hurt the most by it," Vitter said. "So I think I've done that in a real straightforward way."
AHEM. I'm sorry to say that the Sinning Senator may have completed his penance with Mrs. Vitter, but he hasn't even come close to doing his penance for the people of Louisiana.
He told us 11 years ago that President Clinton should resign his office for having an affair and then lying about it:
"I think Livingston's stepping down makes a very powerful argument that Clinton should resign as well and move beyond this mess," he said. [Atlanta Journal and Constitution, 12/20/98]
Why the double standard, Sinning Senator Vitter? Are you a better person than former President Clinton, former Congressman Bob Livingston, or former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer? I think not. So why the double standard, sir? |
