We have a "little sex scandal" here in Washington

[annabanana]

MSNBC talking about Vetter.. One talker said "With what's going on in DC now, for a republican this is probably a GOOD thing, (comparatively speaking.)

[femmocrat]

1. I tuned in too late, but...

it figures they would do *anything* to take the focus off the hearings and other problems * is having!
LOL

BTW: I'm not getting too slap-happy over Vitter until I see some of the other names on the list..... if you know what I mean.

[DeSwiss]

2. I'm sure Vitter probably thought.....

...that it was a good thing too -- at the time. Now? Not so much....

[Heidi]

3. Am I the only one who finds that comment absolutely delicious?

:rofl:

[annabanana]

5. Yeah. . . They hope that the hooker scandal is the one that

they get trapped in... Rather than all the others swirling around out there....

[Heidi]

9. A hooker scandal is small potatoes

in comparison to the myriad truly _evil_ stuff they could busted for.

I will not start the countdown to the first rightwing talking head to say, "This is the result of a vast leftwing conspiracy and a distraction to the War on Terra Terra Terra!"

[malaise]

8. No No No

Bring em on!!:rofl: :rofl: :popcorn:

4. The Duke Cunningham hooker scandal had no legs

and that was trading sex for votes. You'd think if any story could have legs in DC, that would be one...

So, I don't think this story will last very long, either.

Of course, if Vetter was a Democrat, we'd be in 24-7 "Washington in Crisis" mode for the remainder of the summer.

14. (Maybe if Carol Lamm hadn't been shitcanned. . . . ). . n/t

6. Actually, it is a good thing for them

It shows that there are republicans in sex scandals who actually like women. That's important for their base that this isn't another Foley or Ted Haggard. Right now, there are a bunch of religious conservatives wiping sweat off their brows going, "Praise Jesus! He at least @#$*'ed a woman!"

7. "Stop telling those fibs about repubbies liking women." - Jeff Gannon

"I can prove that this is just a Democrat Talking Point."

- Jeff Bulldog Gannon*

* Notorious male prostitute who -- according to the official Secret Service records -- visited George AWOL Bush's White House over 200 times, with several overnight stays.

[MetaTrope]

10. But hang on there, Gannon could have just been Secret Servicing Laura

Or maybe we could check on when the twins were at home.

[SpiralHawk]

11. "I resemble that remark." - republicon war hero & prostitute Jeff Chickenhawk Gannon

"In addition to our Famous Family Values, we republicons do have our standards."

- Jeff Gannon, Official republicon White House male prostitute (ignore the part below where chickenhawk republicon Gannon uses his advertising web page and smears our honorable U.S. Marines by claiming to have served as one of them. That's just another republicon lie. Like Cheney, Limbaugh, Hannity, and O'Rielly, Gannon never served America for even five minutes -- other than his 200 visits to Commander AWOL's White House)

13. Yes, but...

I understand men often visit prostitutes to indulge in something "special"... something too embarrassing and/or kinky to share with the wife. Hmmm...

[Bitwit1234]

12. I don't know, maybe a sex scandal would be bad for them

remember, the republicans were shocked, outraged, abhorred by the fact that President Clinton had a sexual encounter in the whitehouse with someone other than his wife. They even impeached him for it. So those guys or gals should watch out. Even the republicans will be shocked, outraged and abhorred by sex, now weren't they.
