Bwhahaha repuke senator Vitter on Madam's list

[greenbriar]

WASHINGTON - Sen. David Vitter, R-La., apologized Monday night for "a very serious sin in my past" after his telephone number appeared among those associated with an escort service operated by the so-called "D.C. Madam."

Vitter's spokesman, Joel Digrado, confirmed the statement in an e-mail sent to The Associated Press

1. lol!

Ahhh this is too good to be true.

[greenbriar]

2. aw and the obligatory asking "god for forgiveness" and makes it right

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

3. LOL. And so it begins..................

:rofl:

6. Let the beat go on and on and on!

[karlrschneider]

5. There once was a Senator Vitter

Who is now increasingly bitter
His name on the list
Was found so he's pissed
And his cred is now in the shitter.


:D

[AlCzervik]

7. nicely done Karl.

:toast:

[karlrschneider]

13. Hehe, thanks. I like limericks. I see it could have been better but it was extemporaneous.

:D

[AlCzervik]

25. it was still good.

There once was a Dandy named Vitter
on and on about Gays he did twitter
then the sins of his past came to bite him in the ass
and has made all of DU titter.

[karlrschneider]

LOL! Pretty neat!

:D

[greenbriar]

41. good one

I chuckled out loud

[walldude]

11. LOL... now that was funny...

I'm surprised he didn't pull out the old "but Bill Clinton did it" line...

[John Q. Citizen]

44. That needs to get sent to chat boards in LA, and put up on bathroom walls in NOLA..

Good work

[rudy23]

8. "...and so now lord, I ask for your forgivness. Thanks in advance. Love, David"

I love how he says he asked for---then received forgiveness. I know how it works, and that if you're sincere then God forgives you, but it sounds so funny the way he asserts it. Does he have a receipt for that? (or the hooker?)

[rhombus]

9. The party of family values --- Modern day Pharisees

Hypocrites. Vitter is one of the more "pro-family" guys.:eyes: :popcorn:

[greenbriar]

10. yup all repukes are corrupt hypocrites

I hate them all

[garthranzz]

34. Careful - in some traditions the Pharisees (rabbis) are the good guys :)

[rhombus]

59. Ok, a hunch. I'm betting Fred Thompson is on that list

Old man pervert chasing after young women.

[Kingshakabobo]

12. LOL. The Madam's attorney is surprised how fast this clown apologized...

""Palfrey's attorney, Montgomery Blair Sibley, told the AP, "I'm stunned that someone would be apologizing for this already." He said Palfrey had posted the names of her escort service's clients online Monday, but he did not know whether Vitter's name was among them."""


LOL.....his number probably isn't even on the list. Stupid rethuglican.

[karlrschneider]

15. ROFL! That would be the supreme irony, wouldn't it?

Not even on the list? BWAHAHAHAHAHA

(I know it probably was but the supposition is just too funny) :evilgrin:

[varkam]

14. I'm sure that, somewhere, somehow, Clenis bears some responsiblity here.

I'm totally series.

[AnnInLa]

16. There's something in the humidity down here

makes us all horny as hell.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer fellow. Of course, since he is a Republic, the ignorant Republic voters will overlook the little indiscretion, especially since he invoked baby jesus and all. After all, he did NOT eat a live baby on tee vee.

[opihimoimoi]

17. WHAT DID HE ORDER?? Was it an S&M Thing? a boy? 12 year Girl? Bondage? Dominatrix?

[SaveElmer]

18. DOn't get too giddy...there are bound to be Dems on that list...nt

[Perky]

21. my thought as well

[Stephanie]

23. You're POV gets curiouser and curiouser, SE.

Usually you spend all your time promoting Mrs. Clinton. I know that she's the opponent-of-choice for the GOP. Maybe that's your angle?

[SaveElmer]

26. That is a particularly bizarre statement...

And not sure what it has to do with anything...

I am merely pointing out that there is no reason to believe there won't be Democrats on this list, and before we go out crowing about another Republican scandal (which I love if true), we should wait until the names of all the public figures are released...

Otherwise we just look stupid...

What this has to do with Hillary Clinton I have no idea!!!

[Stephanie]

30. I hope her husband is not on the list!!!1111!!

[Stephanie]

32. And this is a classic formulation: "Otherwise we just look stupid."

That's known around here as a "tell."

[SaveElmer]

33. Exactly what are you accusing me of?...nt

[karynnj]

58. I almost never agree with her, but on this I do

It is hypocritical to have all this giddiness over something that really is likely to hit some Democrats too. I feel sorry for his family that they will have to endure this public humiliation. Unlike the actions of Cunningham, where he accepted bribes and then defrauded the government, or Foley who hit on young interns, or Libby, who obstructed justice on a case involving national security, he is quilty of going to a prostitute.

I have no idea whether this is a misdemeanor or a felony or a crime at all in DC.

[ljm2002]

43. And your point is?

I wouldn't give a rat's ass about any of them using an escort service, except for that pesky little detail of trumpeting one's own morality while trying to force fundamentalist xtian type laws down the throats of the rest of us.

If there are Democrats who are on the list and fit the above description then I'll be the first to LMAO over it. Loud and long.

"It's the hypocrisy, stupid!"

[SaveElmer]

45. If you think that subtlety will be picked up by the media...

You would be mistaken...

I am addressing myself to those who are giddy at the thought of another Republican scandal...and while I enjoy a good Republican scandal as well as the next person...I think prudence dictates we make sure it is limited to them before dancing in the streets over this...

I agree criticize and mock those hypocrites caught up in this, Democrats included if there are any, but hold off on the other till we are sure...

[Stephanie]

46. Don't get me wrong! I hate George Bush as much as anyone! BUT...

[SaveElmer]

50. Again...are you too cowardly to state plainly what you are accusing me of...nt

[Stephanie]

51. I'm just saying it has a familiar ring.

DU rules forbid me from saying anything more.

[SaveElmer]

55. Here's a challenge...

Comb through my nearly 12K posts I have made while at DU and send me any examples of me praising George Bush in any way....

On the other hand cowardly attempts to imply certain members are Republican without having the guts to actually do it are all too common around here...

Pretty pathetic...

[Stephanie]

60. I'm sure it must be very annoying when that happens to you over and over again.

It would certainly bother me.

[ljm2002]

56. Got it.

And yes, the point you make is a good one. If there is even one Democrat on the list, the pundits will seize upon the fact to present it as a bipartisan scandal.

Well, it's our job to keep them honest.

And it's still fun to indulge in a little shadenfreude now and then. :-)

[Perky]

19. I am not laughing about this until all the names are out.

Because there is a good `chance a well known Democrat is going to get spanked (double entendre intend) ny this as well.

[antiimperialist]

20. Let's not laugh too much. There might be Democrats on the list too

I find it unlikely that Democrats won't be in the list as well, but I think Republicans will outnumber D's by far, due to their lack of morals.

[Stephanie]

24. So what?

If there are Dems on the list, so be it. Most Dems don't proclaim themselves holier-than-thou and condemn others' morality as insufficient. 'It's the hypocrisy, stupid.'

[TwilightGardener]

27. Exactly. We're all just Godless liberal heathens, according to the RW--

might as well enjoy it!

[Kingshakabobo]

29. Here's a quote from the senator's wife

“For as long as one can remember, they have controlled our state, raised our taxes, squashed our values, and squandered our future. But their days are rapidly coming to an end!”

[Kingshakabobo]

28. Exactly!!! n/t

[AlCzervik]

31. Damn skippy! it aint about the sex at all, that just makes it funner to read.

[greenbriar]

42. bingo

I don't care if dems are on the list

i just want to see many prominint "family values repukes"

[Stephanie]

22. Where's John "Nothing to See Here" Stossel?

Where's that lying scumbag John "I've Had This 'Stache Since '73" Stoseel, who purports to be a journalist? FIRE his lying ass.

[Liberal Veteran]

36. Page 32, paragraph 3 of the DC Madam list, most likely.

[salinen]

35. Wait the fuck

He's received forgiveness from God, dammit. Vitter has God's cell number.

[Liberal Veteran]

38. Unfortunately, he found God's cell number where we found Vitter's number.

:rofl:

[Liberal Veteran]

37. I'm positively shocked by this.

I can't imagine a woman desperate enough to rent herself out to a republican.

[walldude]

54. They have all the money... not much choice...

plus from what I've heard the more right wing the John, the more freaky the sex and the bigger the paycheck. Go to any Brothel message board, they'll be happy to tell you.

[Swamp Rat]

39. Oh, my cheeks ache from laughter!

... yet another repuke hypocrite busted! :rofl:

[salinen]

40. Vitter's cheeks may be aching too!

[Stephanie]

49. oooh! you so bad!

I do think it was a dominatrix service, wasn't it? she said that they were not selling sex, they were selling something else, something legal...

[Swamp Rat]

52. LOLOL!!!!!

:rofl:

[Stephanie]

47. I am SO coming to visit you.

Watch out because I am headed to LA one day soon, with a dozen bagels just for you!

[Swamp Rat]

53. Rat's like cheese on their bagels.

:D :9 :hi:

[johnfunk]

48. David Vitter gets a "happy ending" -- to his political career!

APJ tonight: "DC is neck-deep in flop sweat tonight, and it's not from the heatwave."

Betcha Vitter gets a job lobbying for Vegas, baby -- a lotta money to be made representing the Bunny Ranch!

[greenbriar]

57. hows that federal marriage amendment coming senator???bwhaha

We need a U.S. Senator who will stand up for Louisiana values, not Massachusetts’s values. I am the only Senate Candidate to coauthor the Federal Marriage Amendment; the only one fighting for its passage. I am the only candidate proposing changes to the senate rules to stop liberal obstructionists from preventing an up or down vote on issues like this, judges, energy, and on and on.” stated David Vitter.

[KansDem]

61. I'm sure a lot of them found god as a result of these liaisons...

OH, GOD...YES! OH, GOD...YES!! OOOOOH, GAAAAAAWD, YEEEEESSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssssss...

[PA Democrat]

62. Not the first time Vitter has been caught cheating on his wife.

And his wife apparently thought Hillary was a fool for forgiving Bill:

http://dir.salon.com/story/news/feature/2004/10/29/lousiana_race/index.html?pn=3

As Vitter geared up in 2002 to run for governor, his bitter race against Treen came back to haunt him. A Treen supporter, local Republican Party official Vincent Bruno, blurted out on a radio show that he believed Vitter had once had an extramarital affair.

The Louisiana Weekly newspaper followed up. Bruno told the paper that the young woman had contacted the Treen campaign in 1999 because she was upset that Vitter was portraying himself as a family-values conservative and trotting out his wife and children for campaign photo ops. Bruno, who declined to comment for this story, and John Treen interviewed the woman, who said she had worked under the name "Leah."

But after nearly a year of regular paid assignations with Vitter, the lawmaker asked her to divulge her real name, according to Treen, citing the account he said she gave him. Her name was Wendy Cortez, Treen said. She said Vitter's response was electric. "He said, 'Oh, my God! I can't see you anymore," John Treen told me, citing the woman's account to him and noting that Vitter's wife is also named Wendy. And Wendy Vitter does not appear to be the indulgent type.

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."

[Stephanie]

63. "after nearly a year of regular paid assignations with Vitter"

That's not cheating on your wife! That's hiring a hooker, a whole other level of wrong!
