Senator Vitter Questioned About New Orleans Prostitute In 2002
In 2002, during the radio show "Ringside," David Vitter was asked
about his affair with a prostitute named Wendy Cortez.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Thank you Jeff for taking my call, always a pleasure to talk to the Congressman.
Congressman, since spokesperson for the Republican Party William Bennett has said character counts.
I would like to put the same challenge to you that I put to Representative Perkins and he accepted.
Would you be willing to sign under the penalty of perjury an affidavit saying you
have never had an extramarital affair and you have never known,
met or been in the company of one Wendy Cortez."----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In response Vitter says,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Flaming Liberal thank you for repeating all these vicious rumors
that my political enemies are trying to bandy about and those rumors
are absolutely true and they really don’t belong in any political campaign
and I’ve stated very clearly that they’re lies, but I’m not going to start
jumping through hoops and taking orders from my political enemies
who have absolutely no credibility.
So, I’ll speak very clearly about that. I have in the past; I’ll continue to do so."----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems that some people knew, as far back as 2002, about Vitter's fake
"moral authority" that he so famously campaigned on.
A side note, Vitter would be gone tommorrow if Louisiana
had a Republican governor. The law states that the governor
appoints the replacement of a senator, and no Republican in their
right mind would allow Governor Blanco to fill the void.
