Vitter issues statement after call from Hustler magazine

BATON ROUGE – In the wake of U.S. Sen. David Vitter’s apology after his phone number turned up in an escort service's call list, a member of the Republican State Central Committee called for him to resign.

Vincent Bruno of Kenner said today that Vitter should resign “for his own good, the good of the party and the good of his family.” If he doesn’t resign, Vitter should “join the Democratic Party where they think that kind of behavior is OK.”

Bruno said Vitter’s actions violate the Republican Party’s “Family Values” stance but he doesn’t expect the party leadership to do anything about it. “We had David Duke and couldn’t do anything about it.”

“They think more of the party than the right thing to do,” he said. “If they’re not going to enforce family values, they ought to take it out of the vocabulary.

“We’re the party of hypocrites,” he said. “Vote for us and we’ll lie to you, we’ll engage prostitutes and we’ll cheat on our wives.”

Bruno said he puts little stock in Vitter’s apology.

“It’s baloney,” he said. “He only fessed up to it when he got caught.”

“He needs to resign,” Bruno said. “There’s more there; I know so.”

1. Vitter should “join the Democratic Party where they think that kind of behavior is OK.”

No, we just don't think what a man does with his member constitutes the People's Business

2. when a member of the Republican State Central Committee

calls for a GOP congressman to resign in a statement that includes the admission that the GOP is the party of hypocrites, liars, and the morally bankrupt ... and DU has nothing to say about it ... that means I've taken a wrong turn on the internets.

3. Who the fuck is Bruno and why should anyone care

what that idiot thinks....

ANYONE from Louisiana who's still a Republican at this point has pretty much forfeited whatever credibility they might have had.

4. This might be sour grapes on Bruno's part.

I think he (or his brother) was defeated in a nasty primary run by Vitter. I know there is some sort of "history" w/them.

But the guy does speak the truth about this hurting the Republican party.

I take exception w/the statement that he should become a Democrat, that WE act like that. But THAT is a typical Repuke slam against us.
