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.

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

3. Meat in the sandwich?

13. he's the same guy who publicly outed Vitter on this stuff, involving

other sex workers, during the 2004 campaign. He's pissed because Vitter called him a liar back then. The dude Bruno is an ass, but he was right back then and knew it--he met with some of the ladies in question and they pretty much told all

2. "join the Democratic Party where they think that kind of behavior is OK.."

Seems as though those who scream this stuff the loudest are quite often taken down by the very thing they pretend to despise.
It'll be interesting to see if Bruno implodes in some Haggardesque gay hooker and meth scandal.

16. Sorry if you misunderstood, I was calling the Republican who was trying to somehow sweep the

Republican's scandal onto the Democrats a shithead.

Sorry if this made you angry at me.

4. Ritter?

Ritter is the Governor of Colorado. He is a "moderate" but not a Repuke candidate.

Now Vitter is an asshole who should crawl back into his hole.

5. Sorry, corrected.

Thanks.

7. “If they’re not going to enforce family values, they ought to take it out of the vocabulary." THIS,

at least, I agree with.

8. From David Duke's spiritual adviser? Bruno probably thinks Vitter is a Dem by his voting record

10. Bruno made "Worst persons in the world" tonite

KO is right on rop of things

11. haw haw haw haw

Vitter gets caught with his pants down and now he's a Democrat?

David Duke and "Family Values" and they can't do anything about it?

I knew I'd live to see the complete collapse of the Republican Party, I just didn't know how much fun it would be.

:rofl:

12. They interviewed a New Orleans madame tonight on n.o. TV

She said he was one of her biggest customers.

Vitter is in deeper shit than we realize.

I'm not sure he can stay on.

I wonder who Kathleen Blanco will appoint to serve out his term?

[Ioo]

14. Did the guy use air quotes when he said "Family Values" ?

I mean really, Republican is to Family Values what McCain is to President.

15. "violate the Republican Party’s “Family Values” stance"

:rofl:
