Another Republican who can’t keep his zipper zipped

[tinknocker44]

Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t much care what Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) does in his personal life. What he does in his bedroom is his business.

But these aren’t quite normal circumstances.

Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) apologized last night after his telephone number appeared in the phone records of the woman dubbed the “D.C. Madam,” making him the first member of Congress to become ensnared in the high-profile case.

The statement containing Vitter’s apology said his telephone number was included on phone records of Pamela Martin and Associates dating from before he ran for the Senate in 2004.

It didn’t take too long for Vitter to fess up. “This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible,” Vitter said in a statement. “Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling.”

The reason this is noteworthy has very little to do with a powerful politician carrying on extra-marital affairs, and everything to do with Vitter holding himself out as a virtuous family man, entitled to lecture those he deems immoral about “family values.”

Stupidity is one thing; hypocrisy is another. The prior is easy to forgive; the latter tends to breed resentment.

Here’s Vitter, for example, on the “sanctity of marriage” in 2004:

“This is a real outrage. The Hollywood left is redefining the most basic institution in human history, and our two U.S. Senators won’t do anything about it.

We need a U.S. Senator who will stand up for Louisiana values, not Massachusetts’s values. I am the only Senate Candidate to coauthor the Federal Marriage Amendment; the only one fighting for its passage. I am the only candidate proposing changes to the senate rules to stop liberal obstructionists from preventing an up or down vote on issues like this, judges, energy, and on and on.” stated David Vitter.

In 2006, Vitter told reporters that “the existence or non-existence of a stable, loving, two-parent household” is the most significant predictor of success in life, and conceded that infidelity contributes to the breakdown of traditional families.

This is what makes the revelations interesting. Vitter shamelessly got on his high horse, condemning those he deemed morally inferior, despite engaging in the same “anti-family” behavior he claimed to abhor. And in the process, he lied, repeatedly, to the public about his own failings.

Pug hypocrisy is so common place these days people sleep right through it.

Does that say more about the hypocrit or the fool that ignores it.

[sysint]

Is "I did not have sex with that women" hypocritical?

[tinknocker44]

Is "I did not have sex with that women" hypocritical?

Not necessarily no.

I dont remember anyone here saying that Conservatives wear hailos, or were perfect. We are all human beings and
make mistakes.
Some of us admit to our faults and some of us lie under
oath even as presidents. ( I did not have sex with that
women/Blow job.) I swear. :p :p :p

Too bad they didn't have Bill with them. They wouldn't have had to chase them...they could have just had the whores delivered...kinda' like pizza.

I see, so ALL republicans and conservatives are liars. :confused: :confused: :confused:

So don't be a hypocrit and leave your wife and shack up with your lover, geer. We promise to ignore you.

Yeah. Qualifies him as liberal scum, huh? What a hypocrit...preaches Republican values and lives like a Democrat.

Thanks for pointing that out.

He got some pussy. Tinker ought to try some and stop dreaming of Barney Franks.

Yeah, but at least his not a pervert like Barney Frank and several other Dems.

Thanks Glen, I think.:)

[James 3528]

He was talking about Vitter.



It's pretty obvious you're a perv.

[tinknocker44]

He was talking about Vitter.



It's pretty obvious you're a perv.

No he was talking about me.

[James 3528]

Now it's obvious you're stupid also....



Just kidding, that was obvious long ago

[glennac]

No he was talking about me.

Sorry Tink, I was refering to Vitter. I'm sure if a gay escort service client list were releast the Dems would be all over that list.

[wallynut]

No he was talking about me.


Your A f**ck up, He was talking about You

Who cares who is getting some. The only people who care are those who don't get any. Nothing to do with running a country

My favourite Robin Williams skit was after Swaggert got busted. He spoofed the tearful apology and pledged to start up a new magazine called Repent House

Yes there is,

Now you're getting it. But remember it was a hummer that "destroyed the country".

The stupid chant strikes again. Clinton being too stupid to get a little action in the White House without getting caught is not what got him impeached; lying under oath did.

Quit lying. You know that thinking about Republicans having their zippers down gets you excited.

[AngryReferGuy]

whats the big deal ???? at least he was porking a woman ... not some other dude or some little boy like most dems do.

Foley left and their is no evidence he caught either one. Want to discuss Barney Frank or the other democrat that is taking a dirt nap that got re-elected?

Didn't think so.
