1. It must be, or they wouldn't bother. Vitters ain't that big a fish, worth destroying the pathetic

remnants of credibility they may think they have left.

Then again, perhaps they already know they have zero credibility left so they may as well stay the course. No Republican scandals, ever. Overblown or even fabricated Democrat scandals, always.

2. Ole dave is being raked over the coals

in New Orleans, on TV, radio and in the newspaper. Although he does have his supporters (on fox talk radio - imagine?) There is a groundswell of "resignation" in the air. I'd love for him to resign and Governor Blanco appoint herself to fill his term, and appoint Mitch Landrieu to take her current job. There would be mass republican suicide in the Bayou State.

4. now THAT's a happy scenario!

3. actually sen vitters is small potatoes

one guy, several years back... ok, its a big deal to his wife, might hurt him politically, but its not going to hurt Orrin Hatch, or Mitch McConnell, or Pete Domenici, or Daniel Inhofe...

or cheney


stand by for more as people mine thru all the noise in that data dump

6. Not if he resigns and we tell Joementum to take a goddamned hike.

I would wet up all my undies if that happened. I would personally fly to where Joe was and laugh in his fuckin FACE.

5. Sounds to me like some ABC'ers may be on the LIST

7. What more is there to day?

A senator few people have heard of admitted to hiring a prostitute years ago, before he was in the senate.

the story's been reported. What do you expect them to report today? there's nothing new to say.

8. Another Repug being a hypocrite?

Hardly huge. The meme is already to blow it off as "It's just Louisiana being Louisiana" and then bring up Jefferson.
