Edited on Thu Jul-12-07 06:39 PM by Pigwidgeon
You just can't out-do perfection.

There are few joys in modern life that can surpass the spectacle of a conservative Republican culture warrior being arrested for trying to buy tacky "immoral" sex from an undercover police officer.

Don't analyze it -- enjoy it.

:evilgrin:

34. No... Allen wanted to GIVE the cop $20...
if the cop would allow Allen to give him (the cop) a BJ. It's there on the affidavit!

"...he would pay me $20 in order to perform a 'blow job' on me"

I know it's weird! Not paying to get one, but paying to GIVE one!

11. I'm telling you... his wife WANTED him to go out and blow dudes!
What if, like, his wife was all like, "I'm not gonna suck your dick. It's awful."

And he was like, "Oh, no it's not. You love it."

And she was all, "I hate it. Why don't you try sucking a dick, and you'll understand why I don't suck yours."

And then he was like all, "Well, fine. Maybe I will go suck a dick."

I mean, what if he was just all like, "I'm curious about what it's like to suck a dick. I'll pay you $20 if I can suck yours," and he just TOTALLY got busted the first time.

I mean...

Who hasn't been THERE?

22. Did you ever see the British mini-series "The Politician's Wife"?
It's about the wife of a Conservative politician who, when her husband's dalliance with a former hooker is reveled, does the whole "It's made us closer" thing--at first. But when she finds out the extent of her husband's affair, and the fact that his Party cronies knew all about it, she embarks on a campaign to destroy his career completely.

It's good. They are remaking it as an American movie called "The Senator's Wife".

19. Pathetic
In both senses. I really do feel sorry for the families of this guy and Vitter -- well in Vitter's case, I feel sorry for the children, not so much for wifey since she saw fit to snark on Hillary regarding Bill's infidelity.

It is really bizarre what's going on with Republic lawmakers these days. And what is even more bizarre, is all the other Republics who are making excuses for them. Tucker Carlson, of course, who says that "men are just like that" (imagine if any female, anywhere, made that statement in Vitter's defense -- it would be derided as a sexist feminazi statement) -- and who really went off on one of his guests on the topic. And other Republic politicians, who are shocked -- shocked! -- that a politician's sex life would be considered fair game.

What is startling to me is how worked up they get -- their veins are literally popping. Well in the case of Vitter, it's clear what all the heatedness is really about. If they held a solid Senate majority, they'd be denouncing him, in much the same way that Lieberman denounced Clinton. They would get to make bonus points as non-partisans. They're not so dumb that they don't see the hypocrisy of supporting him. But they can't afford not to, because if Vitter resigns Governor Blanco is free to appoint a Democrat in his place. And even though it would be a temporary appointment, there would be plenty of time for mischief...

Vitter needs to be forced to resign. He has broken the law and disgraced his office. And when he resigns, please, Governor, don't get cold feet: go ahead and appoint a Democrat so we can go after these bastards while there's still time.

times that he didn't get caught? My guess is that this isn't his first "indiscretion".
