Democrats Try To Remind Louisiana Of What Vitter May Rather Forget

By John McArdle | April 28, 2010 12:26 PM


The Louisiana Democratic Party just went all "Geraldo" on Republican Sen. David Vitter.

On Wednesday the party launched a new website, forgottencrimes.com, that may be the most blatant attempt yet to make Vitter's involvement in the 2007 D.C. Madam prostitution scandal a front and center issue in his re-election campaign.


Vitter's likely Democratic opponent this cycle is Rep. Charlie Melancon, who so far has allowed the state party to take the toughest whacks at Vitter over the sex scandal that rocked Washington D.C. and Louisiana three years ago.

Now the party is promising a series of videos -- which from the promotional clip appear to be shot and edited in a television news magazine format meant to look like an independent exposé -- that will shed new light on that scandal and find out why Vitter was never prosecuted for his actions.

"A prominent Louisiana politician caught up with prostitution scandals in Washington, DC and New Orleans. Held accountable by no one...until now," the party release stated on Wednesday. "Our investigators have hit the streets from Capitol Hill to the French Quarter to find out the whole story. And what they have discovered may shock you."

The party is also encouraging Louisiana voters to contribute their thoughts on Vitter's role in the D.C. Madam scandal.

Party spokesman Kevin Franck said Wednesday that the goal of the new effort is to "give folks in Louisiana a chance to speak out and remind their neighbors of aspects of the scandal they may have forgotten about or answer questions that still linger."

Here's the video from the website. Tell us what you think: Is it a fair hit? Is it an unfair hit? Is it just icky?

3. you would think, out of 1000000 republicans, they would not have to drag this one out of the closet
IS THERE SOME REASON THAT, ONCE RIPPED IN FRONT OF THE WORLD AS AN ASSHOLE, EITHER PARTY WOULD DRAG SUCH A SHITHEAD BACK INTO THE LIGHT OF DAY ?

CAN'T HE GET A JOB WAITING TABLES, BUILDING ENGINES, SELLING SLUSHIES..... THAT HE IS ONCE AGAIN TOUTED AS AN HONORABLE CANDIDATE....

I'M PRETTY LIBERAL--- BUT EVEN I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PARTY OF NO STEP UP WITH A VALID CANDIDATE
