Reid Calls for "Airing" of Vitter Scandal
Reid Calls for "Airing" of Vitter Scandal

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said "the call-girl scandal that has engulfed Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) should have 'a full airing' and noted that there is an open criminal investigation into the escort service that Vitter acknowledged calling," the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

"Reid stopped short of calling for an ethics committee investigation of the freshman senator and is not likely to, preferring to let the scandal play out on its own."

Meanwhile, The Politico covers Vitter's return to the Senate -- "before he bolted. Literally, he bolted through a maze of offices and popped out a door halfway down the hall. Vitter was trapped, and he knew it -- or heard it: the reporters with boom mikes and in high heels chasing after him."

4. I think this is great but.....
...if there are any tainted democrats out there they better let Reid and/or Pelosi know about this. We just need ONE democrat to stray on his/her wife and you can believe that anything the repukes are capable of doing will be long since forgotten

6. It is his hypocrisy that is being exposed, not just illicit sex. And the
best part is seeing the Tuckers in the media, saying it is a personal and private issue, even though both Vitter and his wife degraded Bill and Hill...as did they, the media.
