Enough with the silliness, Vitter isn't going to resign, it's a 48 hour story tops

[RB TexLa]

He's not up for reelection till 2010, this isn't going to effect his reelection. If he were from somewhere else maybe there would be a chance of him quiting but it's Louisiana. The only people screaming about it didn't and aren't going to vote for him anyway. The media isn't going to focus on him for 3 years. We have to focus on keeping Jindal out of the Governor's mansion first and then see if anyone actually signs up to run against Vitter by 2010.

1. All the heathens and sexuals celebrating Mardi Gras made him do it anyway

Damn Terrorists

I mean Tourists

[churchofreality]

3. Kind of like Santorum blaming Boston being liberal for priests raping boys.

That was classic.

[churchofreality]

2. I agree, the media is already blaming Clinton for setting the precident

Hell, if the president can get a BJ in the oval office, republicans who get busted pale in comparison. Thats the argument I heard on TV yesterday.

[Virginia Dare]

5. Clinton's sin was the sin to end all sins..

everything from here on out is just a youthful transgression.

[jobycom]

8. Clinton--the man who invented the penis.

Before him, world leaders never had sex with anyone other than their wives.

[churchofreality]

13. I'm just reporting not agreeing with the premise

[jobycom]

16. Me, too.

4. I don't know, I'll ask Mark Foley!

[TwilightGardener]

6. Well, anyone who takes his Senate seat after him is going to have to spray it

with Lysol. No one wants the clap.

[SoFlaJet]

7. a 48 hour story

unless it were a democratic senator that is...also what's up with all the "I feel sorry for John McCain" crap anyway? They act like he doesn't deserve what's happening to his presidential bid while they spend hours and hours on a dem candidate's haircut story

[RB TexLa]

11. why are people feeling sorry about John McCain?

[MADem]

9. I agree, sadly, with your assessment. He thinks he can ride this out.

If I were him, though, given his wife's comment on the Bill Clinton discretions, and her comparison of herself to Lorena Bobbitt, I'd get separate bedrooms, hide the knives, and sleep on my stomach with one eye open if I were him....

[Freddie Stubbs]

10. I agree that he is not going to resign, but I disagree that it won't affect his reelection

Does anyone remmeber what happened to Tim Hutchinson?

[RB TexLa]

12. I don't remember any Tim Hutchinson running for anything in Louisiana?

who is he?

[Freddie Stubbs]

19. He was a Senator from Arkansas,

another socially conservative red Southern state. He divorced his wife and married a congressional aid who had been having an affair with during his first marriage. The voters sent him packing when he sought reelection.

14. 48 hours in the media, double that for DU nt

[Robbien]

15. I am just happy this should stop Vitter from preaching

abstinence at us. Or at least for a while.

The Family network will have to buy another congresscritter.

[yardwork]

18. Ol' Vitter won't be co-sponsoring any "protect the sanctity of marriage" bs for a while.

[yardwork]

17. Let's keep the story kicked, then.

I don't expect Vitter to resign unless there's more - and there might be more. I strongly suspect, for instance, that some of the prostitutes he hired aren't white. Long history of powerful rich white men in the south feeling that sex with black women is their right. Vitter sounds typical of that type.

It's just one more example of the empty hypocrisy behind the lies and greed that motivate the Republican Party.
