Sen. Vitter's Favorite Escort Tells All
This post, written by GottaLaff, originally appeared on Cliff Schecter's Blog
Driving home from work is so educational. Today's lesson was from an interview on my local progressive radio station, with Wendy Cortez, David Vitter's go-to girl. And what a lesson it was!
Here are the highlights:
* Wendy revealed their relationship because she felt her integrity had been attacked. Vitter had called her a liar, and she fought back. Of all the women he'd been with, and she feels strongly there were many more, she says she was the only one with the "cojones" to tell the truth.
* She is positive it was David Vitter, and was asked about that twice on the lie detector test she took. Both times her answers passed the test.
* She says it was not hard to remember him because she "didn't have a crap-load of clients".
* Vitter is very clean. Did you know that? "A clean old man" (apologies to Ringo Starr).
* Vitter would shower twice per visit, once before, once after, always being careful to use unscented soap to avoid accusations of smelling, well, not like the macho guy he is.
* He divulged to her that, during their 4 or so months together, he and his wife were trying to have children. Family values are everything, aren't they Clean Dave?
* "How can you use the "family values" slogan, but have no morals, lying to your wife and children? He's the biggest hypocrite..." Wendy said with feeling.
* "You know how they always say, 'It's always the quiet types you gotta watch'? He was the quiet type. Very polite and quiet."
* Cortez knew he was a busy guy, and she lived across the street from him, so she thought it would be more convenient and save time if they met at her private residence.
* Once the relationship ended, when he learned her name was the same as his wife's, he still frequented the club where she was a dancer. He would "just sit there and stare". It creeped her out. Can't imagine why.
* He left her with no mementos or business cards, but when asked, she said he did have one thing to remember him by: An identifying characteristic, if you will. To quote, "It was just a little something." (Wendy's emphasis, not mine)There it is. More than you ever wanted to know about David Vitter. But he's not gay, so it's all moot, now isn't it?
