More Vitter Hypocrisy - Time to Resign
Apparently, confirmed adulterer/hypocrite David Vitter thinks that being unfaithful to one's spouse is grounds for resignation from public office. When Bill Livingston stepped down from the Speaker's role in the mid '90s because of the disclosure of his various extramarital affairs, Vitter said, "I think Livingston's stepping down makes a very powerful argument that Clinton should resign as well and move beyond this mess."
Vitter's situation isn't quite the mess that Clinton's was, but then, Clinton didn't actually pay for sex like Vitter did. You make the call.
Bonus question: If the DC Madam is being prosecuted for running a prostitution ring, and there is evidence that Vitter was one of her clients, should he be prosecuted too? Or is it simply too hard to prove he actually had sex with one of the Madam's call girls?
We have learned from the Clinton affair to forgive. As Senator Clinton said, her Methodist faith has taught her to forgive her husband and others. Let us all be open hearted like the Senator from New York and forgive this fellow Senator as well. Jonny, we are no longer under the law and do not stone adulterers but we are under Christ's commandment of love. God loves you, and so do I.
I don't think they'd ever get a conviction.
Vitter will just pull a Tobias (recently resigned State Department official) who used the service, "to have gals come over to the condo to give me a massage."
Blatently BS, but if we can't even get Scooter thrown in jail (and is Mark Foley even being prosecuted?!) for a couple of years it seems probable that Vitter isn't going anywhere except back to his seething wife.
on the other hand, from what i've heard, going back to his seething wife might be worse for him than any jail time.
