Former Rep. Bob Livingston Urges Vitter to STAY STRONG!

[Bluebear]

We "need him!" = "we can't afford the Democrats to pick up a Senate seat!" :rofl:


====

NEW ORLEANS — Robert Livingston, the former Louisiana congressman who resigned in the late 1990s after admitting to extramarital affairs, said his situation is not at all like U.S. Sen. David Vitter's, and he urged Vitter not to resign.

Vitter, R-La., acknowledged a past "serious sin" involving an escort service that federal prosecutors claim was a prostitution ring. Since then, he has stayed out of the public eye, as several Republicans, including prominent members of the state GOP, have offered support and critics have accused the family-values politician of hypocrisy.

In an interview with WWL-TV, Livingston said he had urged the fellow Republican "to pick himself up and charge forward. We need him."

Livingston was in line to be House speaker when, after admitting to affairs, he resigned during hearings to impeach President Clinton in 1998.

1. From one hypocrite in support of another

Because Party affiliation is more important than integrity.

If Vitter was a Democrat, Livingston would be boiling the tar and getting the feathers together.

[depakid]

4. "...more important than integrity."

What integrity?

Democrats might have some- but anyone who associates with Republicans surely doesn't.

That's just a fact- and amply proven over the past 7 years.

[whistle]

2. Vitter must keep his pecker in his diapers... actually doesn't the Senate have

...an obligation to censure Senator Vitter for this crime?

[tyedyeto]

21. Good question

I don't know the answer but I'm sure someone does.

[tularetom]

3. Wear that diaper proudly Dave!

Nothin to be ashmed of.

6. Stay strong? they must have some extra strong depends, don't they?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. prostitution in diapers is a sin in the name of Lord?

so the GOP needs him?

where are the Democrats?

[Robbien]

8. It would surprise me if all 48 other GOPer Senators

and each and every individual in the RNC haven't called Vitter ordering him back into their den of thieves in DC.

Why a story of a former Senator doing the same thing made it into the news is beyond me.

9. "We republicon perverts need to stick together." - Livingston

"Diapers are nothing for us republicons to be ashamed of. Thank God the public has not yet got wind of our really nasty kinks."

- Livingston, Elite Republicon PERVERT



"You are either for diapers, or against them."

11. I think Dave is listening...

I can smell Dave all the way here in West Bye Gawd...the boy is STRONG alright!

Edit...A little bird told me about some chatter he picked up...

It seems that Rep. Bob L. ran into Sen. Davey V. in a bar the other night, where mister V. had been drinking for several days, trying to forget his many troubles. As they were walking home from the bar Bob caught wind of a foul smell wafting from the direction of the orneryable mister Davy V. It prompted Bob to ask Davy V. the following question, "Gawd Damn Dave, did you shit yourself?" To which Davy V. mumbled under his booze saturated, stale, beer breath, "NO!"

They walked on a couple of more blocks and Bob caught a very STRONG and very unmistakable whiff of poop again and it prompted him to ask Davy V. again, "Gawd Damn Dave did you shit yourself?" Again Dave answered, "NO!"

Bob then reached around behind Dave and jerked his huggies all the way down to his knees and when he did so, he discovered that Davy's lower body was covered with Doo-Doo and his funky assed diaper was full of it too. This prompted Bob to exclaim, "I thought you said you didn't shit yourself!" To which Dave replied, "Oh, I thought you meant TODAY!"

I don't think Dave can weather the SHITstorm and govern.

12. Don't let the sniggering

going on behind your back bother you. I promise it's not about the diaper thing. .... Bwahahahahahaha.:evilgrin: :rofl:

[Feron]

27. "What's that rustling noise I keep hearing...

Oh... Hi David."

I wonder if he has Days of the Week diapers. LOL

As for Livingston, he's just spinning for Vitter. Birds of adulterous feathers flock together.

13. Oh boy! The Twins of Morality!!!!

[TwilightGardener]

14. Will his GOP Senate colleagues be kind enough to have one of

those Kangaroo Diaper Changing Stations installed in their men's room? I can't think of a more thoughtful way to show their love and support.

[Blackhatjack]

15. With Livingston behind him, how can Vitter let a little thing like adultery drag him down?

[johnfunk]

16. I'm beginning to believe we should be sending cases of diapers to his Senate office

Vitter is damaged goods. I'd wager more than half his staff wants out, and fast.

A case of diapers would make the ideal going away gift -- or, more accurately, "go away" gift!

[OH NO ITS MRBILL]

18. Good idea.

I like that idea, It is kind of like sending Bush a Pet Goat, which I tried to rally the folks to do in the Kerry forum in 2004. Would have been funny! A goat shows up one fine morning at the WH, nicely wrapped in a bow! I think the others feared what Cheney might do to the goat...if he ever got a chance. As it turns out we know Cheney cannot shoot straight and the Goat would have been perfectly safe! Who knows he may have shot someone else by mistake! Guess you cannot change the past though!

[peekaloo]

17. Stay strong Dave AND extra absorbent!

the Dems won't pick up his seat until it's been reupholstered.

[salin]

19. aka - lie to the public about who you are, what you stand for...

because party trumps all - even if you act, in your own life, as you would persecute others.

20. Anyone sign Democrats Petition calling for Vitter to resign?

Democratic petition demands Vitter quit

By GERARD SHIELDS

WASHINGTON — State Democrats on Friday launched a petition drive that they hope will force U.S. Sen. David Vitter to resign.
http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/8503777.html



We the undersigned call for Sen. David Vitter to resign from his position with the United States Senate due to his immoral, unlawful and hypocritical behavior while serving the people of the state of Louisiana. ...more: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/VitterResignation /

Since prostitution is illegal in Louisiana, what he did was truly unlawful. Can he be tried? Also, if Vitter resigns does that effect the balance of the Senate?


I don't have enough posts to put this up in GD, maybe someone can? Thanks!

[salin]

23. if it doesn't already have one... this deserves its own thread.

:thumbsup:

[Feron]

26. Instead of signing an online petition,

E-mail or call his office if you live in Louisiana. Online petitions may be fun, but they are worthless.

On Vitter's site there is even a form for e-mails making it incredibly simple. I categorized my e-mail as "Government Affairs". :evilgrin:

Don't be shy!!! Tell Vitter's office exactly how you feel. The worst thing that will happen is that you'll get a form letter in your mailbox. Whoop De doo.

[northofdenali]

35. ROFL! "Government Affairs" indeed.........

Wish I could email him, but I'm a little out of his jurisdiction :P

29. The bottom-feeder returns!

LOL!

[bmbmd]

32. Sounds to me like he has already decided

to stick it out. It may be hard now, but after this mess comes to a climax I'm sure he can relax.

[Johonny]

34. critics have accused the family-values politician of hypocrisy

Hypocrisy? It's crime. If he was caught cheating on his wife that's hypocrisy. Paying women for sex is a crime and he should be punished!

Livingston: "Keep it up, Vitter."
