Sooner Be Blue

 

"They're always coming and going, and going and coming, and always too soon." -- Lili von Schtupp in "Blazing Saddles"

 

Gosh, who's ready for another good old fashioned scandal with Republicans getting caught engaging in illegal sexual activity?

 

(BTW, what's the latest on Mark Foley? Is he still in Pedophile Rehab?)

 

Anyway, how 'bout a round of applause for the voters of Louisiana, particularly the First Congressional District of Louisiana ...

 

From Fox News: "Louisiana Sen. David Vitter apologized Monday for his telephone number showing up on the old phone records of Pamela Martin and Associates, the alleged prostitution ring run in the nation's capital by Deborah Jeane Palfrey.

 

"This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible," Vitter said in a statement.

 

"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 wrote.[..]"

 

 

Why do these creeps always find Jesus AFTER they've poked hookers ..  or snorted blow or stolen taxpayer's money? Why don't they follow His teachings BEFORE they do all that crap?

 

Oooh .. maybe because then they COULDN"T poke hookers, snort blow or steal taxpayer's money.

 

Uh .. there's also a House in New Orleans. Lest we forget, Vitter was once accused (by another Republican) of having an 11-month affair with a known prostitute named Wendy Cortez. He denied it of course .. the story came out just days after Vitter dropped out of the race for governor in June of 2002.

 

 

I'll bet his wife was flattered .. her name is Wendy too. Here's a verrry interesting thing she said back then:

From salon.com: "Asked by an interviewer in 2000 whether she could forgive her husband if she learned he'd had an extramarital affair, as Hillary Clinton and Bob Livingston's wife had done, Wendy Vitter told the Times-Picayune: "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."

Sanctimonious Republicans seem to be sort of a tradition down in the First District. Remember Bob Livingstone?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Livingston#Resignation

"Although the Republicans claimed Clinton deserved impeachment because he lied about his sexual indiscretions, many Democrats felt the indiscretions themselves were the main issue.[citation needed] In response, Hustler Magazine publisher Larry Flynt placed an article in his magazine offering up to $1,000,000 for information on sexual indiscretions by Republican officials.

Flynt received evidence that Livingston had strayed outside of his marriage and he was preparing to publish this information. Livingston got word that the article was pending. During debate over the impeachment resolution on December 19, 1998, Livingston surprised everyone by stepping down as Speaker-elect and announced he would resign from the House in May 1999.

He was succeeded by David Vitter, who later went on to become the first popularly elected Republican senator from Louisiana. Vitter defeated Treen in a hard-fought special election runoff.[..]"

Well, I guess after a hard-fought special election runoff, a guy wants to unwind with a few hookers and a little Triple-X fun.

And poor Rudy Giuliani .. Vitter serves as his Southern Regional Chairman...

...right on top of Rudy's campaign chairman Thomas Ravenel being busted for possessing and distributing cocaine.

Sleazy Democrats are going to have to work hard to keep up in the scandal department ...
