Vitter's own words will haunt him on return to DC; Madam is "disgusted" at his gay marriage stance

[Bluebear]

...In a June 2006 Senate speech supporting a constitutional amendment against gay marriage, Vitter said it was "well overdue that we in the Senate focus on nurturing, upholding, preserving and protecting such a fundamental social institution as traditional marriage."

On Friday night, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, who ran the escort service and whose phone records led to Vitter's problems, said she was "disgusted at the hypocrisy" of the senator's comments about gay marriage.

"How dare someone dictate one thing and practice another, and in the process deny so many in this country the opportunity for happiness," said Palfrey. "In particular, I'm talking about dictating what constitutes a family. What constitutes a family is love, pure and simple."...

Vitter's allies say they will try to help him regain some of his luster.

1. regain some of his luster?

i'm sure he'll enjoy the polishing.

[salin]

2. especially if it involves

diaper rash cream.

[PurpleChez]

4. So, was he into the whole "big baby" scene

with maybe a bib and pretending he couldn't talk and all that? I was unfortunate enough to see video one time of a big baby couple "in action" and that was just damn weird. I know we here at DU try to be respectful of everybody's grooves and all that, but it was just weird.

6. not sure about the whole baby dscene - but the NO madame

indicated that he was into being 'made to wear a diaper.'

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. no no, a thousand times, no!

Vasoline. Provides a great sheen, AND it lubes on demand.

[PurpleChez]

3. "Several GOP colleagues...have rallied to Vitter's side...

...saying politicians deserve forgiveness when they err and repent."

What a bunch of hypocritical asshats

[Captain Hilts]

5. Well, regularly going to prostitues is a weird way to defend 'traditional marriage'. nt

[southern_belle]

7. karma at work!

:shrug:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

9. senator DeMint agreed to be quotes?

a huge MORAL failure?
Dude, what about legal? how about a LEGAL failure? And on what senate committees should a blackmail sublect be allowed to join and work? Which of our nation's secrets be open to a self-professed religious warrior, a arch-christian, the epitomy of famiy values, Mr Abstinence himself, just which national issues be put at risk simply because this guy had a moral failure?

Of course it is DeMint who speaks out, because in many ways, he and Vitter are pretty damn close. In behavior, in image, and in self-professed beliefs.

10. The best way to avert teen pregnancy, he wrote, is

"by teaching teenagers that saving sex until marriage and remaining faithful afterwards is the best choice for health and happiness."

In a June 2006 Senate speech supporting a constitutional amendment against gay marriage, Vitter said it was "well overdue that we in the Senate focus on nurturing, upholding, preserving and protecting such a fundamental social institution as traditional marriage."

Sincerely,

BABY HUEY

11. BABY HUEY!?!?!?

:spray: :rofl:

[stevedeshazer]

14. From now until forever,

he will always be Baby Huey.

[Lerkfish]

12. kind of sad when a madame has more class than our politicans

[0007]

13. Vitter would do better being a monk in a monastery and taking

a vow of silent for the rest of life.

This recipe might take that repugnant look off his mug! If not, he may become known as brother Morehead.

[Gelliebeans]

15. Vitter's allies are

going to help him regain some of his luster? Like polishing a turd, I suppose. :eyes:

It will still stink though. :puke:

16. Speaking of politicians in diapers....

Wasn't there some picture of drunk Bush in a diaper dancing on a table somewhere?
