The David Vitter Diaper Diaries
This post, written by Pam Spaulding, originally appeared on Pam's House Blend
Hat tip to Blogenfreude at Agitprop, who hasn't let go of the tasty nugget of schadenfreude called the "Senator David Vitter (R-Pampers)" scandal. A photo of Vitter's alleged call girl in New Orleans, Wendy Cortez, is juxtaposed with one of his wife Wendy.
Blogenfreude: I think the senator has a bigger problem than his diaper fetish.
Not to be outdone, Louisiana family values senator really doesn't get it.
Speaking at a policy lunch on Tuesday, Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), who recently admitted to frequenting a prostitution service run by the "DC Madam," told his colleagues that Senate conservatives should "rebrand" themselves "by reclaiming the fiscal conservative mantle." According to The Hill, "This time, his colleagues held the applause."
Man, Larry Flynt may soon drop the other shoe -- naming other alleged call girls that Vitter obtained services from. Does Vitter want to humiliate himself even more by creating a PR nightmare beyond reason?
