Senator Vitter to Return to D.C.
Email this Story

Jul 15, 6:44 PM (ET)

METAIRIE, La. (AP) - Sen. David Vitter, R-La., in seclusion since acknowledging dealings with an escort service, is returning to Washington for votes in the Senate, his office said Sunday.

The two-sentence advisory did not say when Vitter planned to return. On Friday, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said he had traded e-mails with Vitter and expected his colleague to return to the Capitol by Tuesday.

Vitter has been out of the public eye since releasing a statement July 9 apologizing for a "very serious sin," acknowledging his Washington phone number was among those called several years ago by an escort service. Prosecutors claim that service was a prostitution operation.

8. Yes, I was thinking in a similar vein
But rather than mail them, we need to greet him wherever he goes waving Pampers...

4. Ooh, "very serious sin". It's not the sin, damnit!
It's the hypocrisy. It's the lying. I could care less what two consenting adults do.

Aren't we supposed to expect our "leaders" to obey the law.

20. That detail seems to have escaped me. Oops.
I always think of it as a crime that shouldn't be a crime. Like smoking pot.

6. Sounds like
negotiations with the Governor didn't work out well. It wouldn't have made sense for her to have appointed a Republican.

23. Or not..
Vitter is posturing to save his job albeit a bit late. Thanks to his hiding, the scandal will get even more attention next week. He is such a moron.

Anyhow I think that Blanco appointing a Democrat if Vitter resigns is just wishful thinking on the part of many here. If anything, she would appoint a Republican to take his place.

Whatever the outcome, I'm glad that this hypocritical twit has been exposed. He'll never be able to utter "family values" again with any crediblity. Not to mention that his supposed nappy fetish will likely follow him for the rest of his career.

11. And a sigh of relief and a cheer of joy is raised
by many prostitutes throughout the DC area that 'diaper-baby' Vitter is returning.

17. Well, DeMint has earned the honor of changing the first poopy pantload--
although maybe Vitter is in toilet-training now--he might come back in Pull-Ups. He's a big kid now!

18. Alleged Madam Called Vitter During Votes
(link) A woman accused of running a Washington prostitution ring placed five phone calls to David Vitter while he was a House member, including two while roll call votes were under way, according to telephone and congressional records.
He couldn't give her a cell phone number and conducted his business on his personal time?
