DC Madam Exposes GOP Senator as Hypocritical Whoremonger
This post, written by Howie Klien, originally appeared on Down With Tyranny!
Earlier today the DC Madam put all the phone numbers of her clients on her website:

I think it was up for like 2 hours and then it was down-- but not before an industrious blogger uncovered one of the worst and most vicious homophobic savages in the entire GOP was running after those high-priced professional ladies, Senator David Vitter (R-LA). I have mixed emotions about prostitution but it's a free country-- or it ought to be-- and if an adult woman wants to do it, and takes health precautions (one can only imagine what a man like Vitter is carrying), then why not? The problem is the hypocrisy. Vitter campaigns by denigrating his opponents for being perverts or somehow against the "American Family." Hitler used this same tactic, by the way. It was all for the sanctity of the German family. Here's Vitter in 2004:
This is a real outrage. The Hollywood left is redefining the most basic institution in human history, and our two U.S. Senators won't do anything about it.
We need a U.S. Senator who will stand up for Louisiana values, not Massachusetts's values. I am the only Senate Candidate to coauthor the Federal Marriage Amendment; the only one fighting for its passage. I am the only candidate proposing changes to the senate rules to stop liberal obstructionists from preventing an up or down vote on issues like this, judges, energy, and on and on.The man is a putrid hypocrite and a typically divisive Republican phony-baloney. And now his campaign consultant has told him to say that God has forgiven him. Here's his statement:
This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible. Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there-- with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way.He's been doing this for years. Mr. Republican Family Values has been having one extra-martal affair after another and I sincerely doubt he begs his wife for forgiveness after each and every one.
UPDATE: GO FOR IT, WENDY
Another time Vitter got caught screwing around-- with a well-known French Quarter prostitute-- his wife, Wendy, mouthed off to the Newhouse News Service.
His wife, Wendy, was asked by the Newhouse News reporter: If her husband was as unfaithful as former President Bill Clinton, would she be as forgiving as Hillary Clinton?
"I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary," Wendy Vitter told Newhouse News. "If he does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me."Gee, that sounds a lot more Jewish than Christian... I mean biblically speaking. David
