"DC Madame" Deborah Jeane Palfrey was able to publish her phone records the other day, effectively turning over a rock and sending even more little grubs skittering in all directions. One of them, Republican Senator David Vitter, cried that it was a one-time "sin from the past" for which he's received counselling and Wifey's forgiveness. Uh, whoops! Make that a two-time SFTP. (Followed by 2(b), 2(c), 2(d) etc.) One couldn't be blamed for getting the idea that this guy is a regular "whoremonger", to use an old biblical term.
But so what? Aren't they all? I wouldn't even bother poking at this slimeball with the Sharp Stick of Snark except once again, he's an exceptionally shining beacon of hypocrisy. Vitter is a real "family values" Republican who used his wife and kids as campaign props in his commercials to show what a great family values guy he is, and shore up the support of those who are fighting the imaginary battle against the enemies of Traditional Marriage. Watch his commercials from 2004:
Barf.
But I can imagine him being so stressed out by the hard work of projecting fake family values sweetness for these commercials that he had to rush off to a Sin Bin for a relaxing little rub 'n tug session. And of course, it wouldn't end with the commercials -- he'd have to follow up! It'd be like making commercials all the time (well, most of the time). What could be more anxiety-provoking than that? Getting caught, I guess.
