U.S. Senator David Vitter, R-La., prays for forgiveness for his "very serious sin" that may have gotten him castrated
Threatened with being exposed by investigative hypocrite-hunter Larry Flynt who found the conservative Southern Junior Senator’s phone number (he used his own phone?) on Palfrey’s notorious DC John List, Vitter shrewdly decided to go ahead and expose himself, issuing a press release confessing to "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"
If Senator Vitter were not such a rabid social conservative, I would say leave the poor sorry schmuck alone with his God, his wife and his hookers. But this particular poor sorry schmuck is mightily trying to impose harsh, inhumane restrictions upon the sexual freedoms and rights to privacy of the rest of us, and he’s been doing it for years.
On the back alleys of the French Quarter, Vitter might be a tomcat, but in Congress, he’s a vociferous crusader for “family values.” He was an aggressive Clinton critic during the Lewinsky scandal, calling for the President’s resignation to “preserve the moral fabric of the country.” The New Orleans Times-Picayune quotes Vitter saying that "infidelity, divorce, and deadbeat dads contribute to the breakdown of tradition." Vitter has also vowed to outlaw abortion in almost all cases, even when the pregnancy results from rape or incest (wonder how he’d feel if he learned he’s knocked up one of his hookers?). Senator Dave is a stern master with the kids too; he’s sponsored legislation to federally finance abstinence-only programs at the expense of real sex education. Of course, “abstinence education” has been proven to be spectacularly ineffective, in part because the kids simply lie about whether they’re having sex, having learned this behavior handily from their elders like Vitter.
The Senator has been particularly colorful in his metaphor for same-sex unions, having called them “the crossroads where Katrina meets Rita,” gaily mocking the agony of his own home state in the wake of the actual hurricanes. Vitter is so vehement in his condemnation of all things homo that he has introduced legislation calling for a Constitutional Amendment to ban gay marriage, stating that this is “the most important issue” of our time.
Vitter sounds like an Evangelical, but he's Catholic. He's also Southern regional campaign manager for the Giuliani campaign and was rumored to frequent French Quarter prostitutes even before his phone number appeared on Palfrey’s published records). Interestingly, Vitter first ran for Congress to fill the seat of Speaker of the House Bob Livingston, who resigned after his extramarital affairs became public during the Clinton Follies. While Vitter was campaigning, his wife Wendy was asked what she would do if her husband cheated on her. Mrs. Vitter responded: "I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary. If he does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me."
Ouch. Wonder if castration was one of Wendy’s prerequisites for the “forgiveness” that Vitter said she (and God) gave him when he confessed to his “very serious sin.” Is that a Catholic thing?
Well, in any case, chalk another one up for the DC Madam catching another fairly big fish: a U.S. Senator. Of course, she’s already caught and pan-fried former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Randall L. Tobias who likened procuring one of Palfrey’s Pamela Martin & Associates’ call-girls to ordering pizza.
And then there’s that even bigger fish, possibly the biggest fish of them all, certainly the biggest Dick, and I’m not talking about the size of his genitalia. That’s right, back in mid-May, you read in this bloggamy that the Vice (as in “criminal”) President patronizes prostitutes. At least, he did while he was CEO of Halliburton maintaining a residence off Chain Bridge Road in the Ballantrae neighborhood in McLean, Virginia, which had a phone number that appears numerous times on the DC Madam’s John List.

They always find God afterwards.
Here is another one from yesterday who got busted in a park for soliciting an uncover cop. These guys always preach morals to others and maybe it's because they have so much guilt over what they're doing.
**************************************
McCain got more bad news yesterday. A Florida co-chair for his campaign was arrested on Wednesday after offering to perform oral sex on an undercover officer, the Associated Press reported.
State Rep. Bob Allen, 48, allegedly propositioned the officer after coming out of a bathroom at a park in Titusville. He was charged with solicitation for prostitution, for which he could be jailed for up to a year, the AP reported. Allen has denied guilt and called the charges "an ugly and unpleasant situation."

Not necessarily. clinton, obama and edwards are doing a GREAT job of pointing out, in their campaigning, their religious convictions. Working to be sure all know how religious they are....what an important part of their lives GOD is.
==============
I won't be expecting flint to be outing any democrats.....his agenda with this list is very clear to all. Buy hey, isn't that the lifestyle the liberals support. Telling others to stay out of their bedrooms?
But they'll sure use what they supposedly want stopped against the right each and every time they can. hypocrites....through and through.

HA! It sure didn't take long for linduh to start defending the amoral scumballs of her party! (or respond to my OP )
Hey ! THEIR bedrooms...no, one was a public PARK and one was a HOOKER'S "bedroom".

Ah well, maybe better list the top 10 democratic sex scandals, and the list goes on:
10. Sen. Daniel Inouye. The 82-year-old Hawaii Democrat was accused in the 1990s by numerous women of sexual harassment. Democrats cast doubt on the allegations and the Senate Ethics Committee dropped its investigation.
9. Former Rep. Gus Savage. The Illinois Democrat was accused of fondling a Peace Corps volunteer in 1989 while on a trip to Africa. The House Ethics Committee decided against disciplinary action in 1990.
8. Rep. Barney Frank. The outspoken Massachusetts Democrat hired a male prostitute who ran a prostitution service from Frank’s residence in the 1980s. Only two Democrats in the House of Representatives voted to censure him in 1990.
7. Former Sen. Brock Adams. The late Washington Democrat was forced to stop campaigning after numerous accusations of drugging, assault and rape, the first surfacing in 1988.
6. Former Rep. Fred Richmond. This New York Democrat was arrested in 1978 for soliciting sex from a 16-year-old. He remained in Congress and won re-election—before eventually resigning in 1982 after pleading guilty to tax evasion and drug possession.
5. Former Rep. John Young. The late Texas Democrat increased the salary of a staffer after she gave in to his sexual advances. The congressman won re-election in 1976 but lost two years later.
4. Former Rep. Wayne Hays. The late Ohio Democrat hired an unqualified secretary reportedly for sexual acts. Although he resigned from Congress, the Democratic House leadership stalled in removing him from the Administration Committee in 1976.
3. Former Rep. Gerry Studds. He was censured for sexual relationship with underage male page in 1983. Massachusetts voters returned him to office for six more terms.
2. Former Rep. Mel Reynolds. The Illinois Democrat was convicted of 12 counts of sexual assault with a 16-year-old. President Bill Clinton pardoned him before leaving office.
1. Sen. Teddy Kennedy. The liberal Massachusetts senator testified in defense of nephew accused of rape, invoking his family history to win over the jury in 1991.
Not to mention the democratic president who was impeached for lying under oath about his sexual escapades.
Seem to work both ways.

I am pretty sick and tired of all politicians. They are a disingenuous bunch, but maybe that is the nature of the beast. What sticks in peoples' craws with someone like Vitter is that he has run on a platform of family values and abstinence, and is against any progressive legislation having to do with "sex." He preached his version of morality at every opportunity. He decried abortion, adultery, sex education, same-sex marriage. He vehemently criticized Clinton for his behavior. Then you come to find out he has been tomcatting around with prostitutes, committing the "adultery" he preaches against and has been behaving like someone who has no "moral fabric" Sorry, that just doesn't sit right with me. This is the height of hypocrisy.
posted on July 13, 2007 02:24:33 PM newState Rep. Robert Allen Cosponsored Public Lewdness Bill
Allen was a co-sponsor of a bill that would have increased penalties for public lewdness and indecent exposure.
According to legislative documents, the bill would have made it a second-degree felony for public exposure and "unnatural and lascivious" acts with another person within 1,000 feet of public parks as well as other public locations such as schools, child care centers, public beaches and community centers.
Currently there are no specific penalties for where the crimes are committed. The bill failed to pass in the 2007 legislative session.

"I am pretty sick and tired of all politicians"
Helen used to say I was not nice because I told peepa he was a moron for his endless "predictions" about what the Dems were going to do. I told him if he thought "Democrat" meant anything more than "politician", he was in deep trouble.

DesSquirrel, I have never bothered to evaluate your effort to communicate with Bigpeepa or anyone else. I can't imagine feeling the need to defend someone against your silly name calling efforts.

================
I see it more as personal failure than hypocrisy on his part.
Imo, one can believe in, support in legislature a value system they believe in, and still fail as a human being to be able to live up to that same moral standing.
There is, imo, a difference between those who don't even HOLD those moral positions at all....but rather just live by the lifestyle of 'do whatever makes you happy' sort of thinking and one who does work towards more moral behaviors but fails at being perfect.
This is not his first time....and like clinton might not be his last time...but again extremely funny how so many are willing to 'overlook' the sexual failings of their leader....even defend him....but when it's someone from the opposite side of the aisle....boy it's a different ball game.

Hilarious, mingo. You don't mention your posts that led to the comments. Convenient."""
No, why should I, I was just pointing out your posts as being nothing but one liners.
"""Quote: "And: Did you have that OLD list of naughty Democrats memorized?"
Nope, mingo, just google. It's all there on the first page."""
Yes, and you had to C&P it. That isn't a crime, etex, and I can't imagine why you think it is. ????
"" Did you C&P the NEW article because it was about a republican? Yep.""
YES, so what?
"""Did you think that someone would not mention the demo's "naughty" habits. Yep.""""
Yes, after posting in here for a few years of course I knew I'd see the whole "but Clinton/Democrats " defense that is always sure to follow.
I also could predict any and all repug/neocon squirming and twisting and finding excuses for the atrocious behavior of their elected officials.
