Vitter a traitor to Louisiana
WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. David Vitter is putting his party ahead of his state by not opposing a proposal to strip millions in extra Medicaid money for Louisiana from a health care reform bill, the state's Democratic lawmakers said Wednesday.

"This man cannot stand up for what's good for Louisiana," Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-Napoleonville, who is running to unseat Vitter in next year's election, told reporters Wednesday.

The Senate is debating legislation to overhaul the nation's health care system. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., a vocal opponent of spending that he considers wasteful, has proposed stripping the bill of up to $300 million in Medicaid aid set aside for Louisiana.

It's not clear whether Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada will bring up Coburn's proposal for a vote.

3. Well Coburn joined Vitter at one of V's townhall.
Perhaps Coburn is counseling another adulterer as well. I wonder if Vitter is "family".
