Prostitute says she had sex with Vitter 2-3 times a week
http://www.miamiherald.com/889/story/234199.html

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- A former New Orleans prostitute who will be featured in Larry Flynt's Hustler magazine appeared at his office Tuesday to accuse Sen. David Vitter of having a sexual relationship with her in 1999. Wendy Ellis told reporters that Vitter visited her two to three times a week for sexual relations between July and November 1999.

Flynt produced parts of an Aug. 22 polygraph test that he said confirmed her account, but Ellis could provide no financial records, photographs or other evidence to support her assertion that the Louisiana Republican was a client during that time.

Vitter has denied those claims.

"I want the truth to be known," Ellis said. "It was a pure sexual relationship. He would come in and do his business."

Ellis declined to comment when asked if she was being paid or reimbursed for her statement regarding Vitter, but she later said she would appear in Hustler magazine in January.

She would not say if she is being paid for the layout.

"She looks ... good," Flynt said.

1. Hate to say it
But with Larry Flynt on the forefront of this the MSM won't spend much time on it. Anyone would have been better the Flynt to make this in the limelight.

Also, they could have waited a few days for this story after the whole Betrayus thing breaks down a little.

20. You must have been young when...
Flynt took Falwell to the Supreme Court. Lots and lots of coverage. :D

25. Tweety brought it up on his show tonite...
...discussed it with Howard Fineman.

Fineman said there's no way the Ethics Committee is going to ignore this story. ;-)

2. So she was supposed to produce a receipt?
Since her work was illegal, it would be hard to verify with a business type receipt or a ledger!

I'm so glad Larry did this, it makes my heart sing. I have wanted that wife of his to get her comeuppance ever since her infuriating press conference.

Somebody just poured icewater all over her head!

7. It would be fair to say he paid her some amount over 9K and under 14K
Edited on Tue Sep-11-07 08:42 PM by Lone_Star_Dem
Over the four months he used her services.

That's a rather large amount of money to spend in such a short period of time. I wonder if there's any sort of of financial record of the money he was spending during that period?

12. Yes, they do
My first instinct is to say he wouldn't be that stupid, but one never knows.

16. You may well be right
We're speaking of a politician that was frequenting a prostitute 2-3 times per week. That's not the behavior of a person who is thinking things through.

9. Well, roughly
July till November, 1999=

4 months= 16 weeks and @ 2x/week=35 fucks @$200/shag=$7,000 minimum.
4 months= 16 weeks and @ 3+x/week=50 fucks @$300/shag=$15,000 maximum.

In round numbers probably around $10 G.

Isn't arithmetic fun?

6. "He would come in and do his business."
I presume that was not discussing health care needs of New Orleans hookers.

11. I bet that the IRS will be visiting her & not to be serviced.
Vitter will not be be investigated by the Ethics Committee. This will go nowhere.

19. Could he be examined by a federal elections commission to see
if he misused campaign funds for this? How does that happen and does it matter?

24. "He would come in and do his business."
My brother's Jack Russell terrier "does his business" .. on a folded diaper. Ace and Deuce. But then, Jackie-Jack Double-Trouble is smarter than a tree full of owls. Vitter is not.
