Does anyone recall how much detail about Sen. Vitter 's(R-Pampers) xcapade
was discussed in the media? Right now I can go read the actual transcripts of Spitzer's conversation with his woman.

Is there possibly a double standard here?

:shrug:

1. Nope. The guy was joke material for months. Still is.
Let's not be hypocrites, okay?

3. That wasn't my question
Everything about the Vitter case was kept off the MSM. Sure, the blogs discussed it quite a bit, but it was not treated in the media the way Spitzer is. Is it that hard to believe that the media would treat Dems and Repubs differently?....really?

4. OH FUCK, I can't believe this. People making excuses for the guy. Why
am I surprised? Why would I think that if we scream about corruption on the other side that we should really be upset about an asshole who prosecuted hookers being caught with hookers who just happens to be on our side?

Shit almighty, forget it.

10. Between the two of us
that's an opinion only one of us holds. You may or not be an idiot in real life, but the words you type are quite idiotic in nature (but I know you already know that;))

11. I cannot be the hypocrisy that runs from top to bottom in both parties.
I am really upset, and I get more upset at those who want to make excuses for a man who prosecuted prostitution, pushed for the wiretapping laws that apparently nabbed him, and then got caught up in his own net. This has to end now, in both parties.

8. Jokes yes, hard news: no
The republicon dominated corporate media propagandists qucikly buried the republicon diaper-sex-with-hookers story about republicon Senator David Vitter.

That's a fact, Jack, speaking of hypocritical standards...no one compares with the "family values" republicon homelanders...
