US Senate Computer Used For Louisiana David Vitter Talking Points

Written by: BayouBuzz Staff


Some person or persons working in the US Senate has created or copied a list of talking points which
they describe “Key Talking Points” and “Points For Possible Press Release or Letter to the Editor” on behalf of U.S. Senator David Vitter and has been used for distribution to bolster David Vitter’s position as he begins to return to the U.S. Senate this week.

The “talking points” revelation comes at a time when some Republicans are coming out in support of the Senator and have written letters of support for the embattled politician.

The documentation of the talking points is the metatag which is coded in Microsoft Word software.
Because of the metatags, these talking points came directly from the US Senate but it is uncertain who drafted or copied the content. Nonetheless, they were likely written or copied and dissiminated by an individual with access to Microsoft Word from a Senate computer.

The content of the talking points are evidence of an orchestrated device to create support for Senator Vitter at a time when he has not made any public appearances since the breaking of the D.C. Madam story.

The document is further evidence that a US government institution is being used for political purposes instead of governmental purposes.

3. One of the comments:
"one other talking point: Senator Vitter did not, as it has been widely claimed, shit on himself upon receiving notice that Larry flynt was on the phone (Mon. night). It is true that Sen. vitter ran out the back door, but noone notice any shit stains (possibly because the Senator had his diapers on)."
