The first weekly DainBramaged DU HEEL of the Week Award goes to.... |

(drumroll) DAVID 'DIAPERS' Vitter, another scumbag 'family values' whoremonger who thinks we forgot he IS a whoremonger. He ran for office as a squeaky-clean reformer, and then voted against ethics reform. He took hundreds of thousands of dollars from financial interests, and then voted for the kind of rampant deregulation that allowed huge Ponzi schemes to steal millions from Louisiana families. He rails against excessive spending, then crammed almost $250 million in pet projects into a recent spending bill. ...
In 2007, it was revealed that Sen. Vitter's telephone number was included in the so-called "D.C. Madam," Deborah Jeane Palfrey's, list of client telephone numbers. The senator confirmed he had sought Ms. Palfrey's services, saying in a statement, "this was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible." ...
Under D.C. and Louisiana law, it is a crime to solicit for prostitution. ...
Louisiana Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4(b) provides it is professional misconduct for a lawyer to "commit a criminal act especially one that reflects adversely on the lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer in other respects." By repeatedly committing the crime of soliciting for prostitution, Sen. Vitter violated the rules of professional conduct for lawyers and should be investigated and disciplined for his misconduct.
This morning, I picked up The Advocate and read that a government watchdog group in Washington had filed a complaint against David Vitter for repeatedly breaking the law. I guess they're trying to have him disbarred.
That story got me thinking -- what David Vitter confessed to wasn't just a "serious sin," it was likely a crime. And so far Vitter hasn't been charged with anything. He's still got his law license. He's still a U.S. Senator.

I already have the heel picked out, and it is an entity not a person. And for some here, it will blow them away.
