*so* many questions: WHY is VITTER (still) a "Senator"?!1 I'm talking to YOU, LA!1

Other questions:

*Did* he actually experience "humiliation* as this article alleges without substantiation?!1

Is LA actually worse than TX (in so many ways)?!1

Is 50 Shades of GREY anything new?!1 Would the Marquis consider the art/characters amateurs?

[font size=5]Why Was Philandering Senator David Vitter Tweeting to This Young Lady Last Night?[/font]

Five years ago, Louisiana Senator David Vitter was humiliated when he was outed as a client of the infamous "DC Madam," Deborah Palfrey. Back then, reports said that not only did Vitter see prostitutes on numerous occasions, he was rumored to have a fetish for wearing diapers, like a man-baby. Palfrey ended up committing suicide in 2008, while Vitter, a staunch family values advocate, remains a sitting senator. And now it looks like the GOP hypocrite may be up to some more shady dalliances.

Last evening, Vitter tweeted "@LuvMy_Kisses" from his verified Twitter account. Though the tweet was quickly deleted, thanks to the Sunlight Foundation's Politwoops service, it was archived

he tweet could have been a simple mistake on Vitter's part—or that of an aide with access to his Twitter account—but when people began pressing Scott to explain why Vitter might be reaching out to her, she seemed to suggest that the contact was very intentional. "I know something you don't know," she tweeted coyly to a man attempting to get to the bottom of Vitter's contact. Even more suspicious is that that and the other tweets in the photo at left were almost immediately scrubbed from Scott's Twitter feed.

Again, this could all be an honest mistake, but if so, why all the secrecy and quickly covered tracks? Perhaps Vitter's nine lives are about to run out. If you know anything more, email me.

UPDATE: Vitter and Scott both follow each other on Twitter, too.
