Hiya TRex!

About time I got another what use to be Zed!

Oh my again.

Talk about your late breaking stories. This was NOT my original post, but it was too good to pass up.

Hiya TRex! Did you miss me when I was on vacation?

ah, so close. Just got back from walking dogs.

Hiya TRex! Did you miss me when I was on vacation?

What kinda red-assed fuckery is this?!?!

In re: Senator Vitter — oy, the hypocrisy…

Glad to see you’re all over the Madame, TRex!

…. wait, that’s not quite what I meant.

I have a new post about the NAACP and the funeral they did today. Even a comments section.

But finish TRex’s first.

Yep. I am going to send the link to my Texas friends.

Where were you, Cassie?

Here’s Ritters “response”
“This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible,” Vitter said in the statement. “Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there — with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way.”

Corpus Christi, and Houston on the way home.

I’m just chuckling over the schadenfreude of seeing the Mouse and company trying to tap dance around how they were so incompetent when they had an exclusive on the info and missed this guy. And all the other prominent ReDubyacans they will have “missed.”

We need a U.S. Senator who will stand up for Louisiana values, not Massachusetts’s values.

I take it that he was commenting on Mitt the Mutt Smut Romney?

That’s good stuff, Cassie. Like the invitation to audience participation, so I left a humble suggestion of my own.

Betcha Vitter’s sleeping in the extra room tonite. I sure would, after reading this quote from Politico:

In 2000, Vitter was included in a Newhouse News Service story about the strain of congressional careers on families.

His wife, Wendy, was asked by the Newhouse News reporter: If her husband was as unfaithful as former President Bill Clinton, would she be as forgiving as Hillary Clinton?

“I’m a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary,” Wendy Vitter told Newhouse News. “If he does something like that, I’m walking away with one thing, and it’s not alimony, trust me.”

maybe Leiberman has been a customer – that would be a treat.

The phone lists seem to be back up, but fritzing out from time to time.

Well, you know, these high-traffic sites always seem to have a few startup problems. Throw some more hardware at it — say two or three hundred blade servers — and everything will be fine.

But, But, Mrs. Vitter and Jesus both forgave the senator YEARS ago- before he was ever elected to the senate- well- before Mrs. Vitter ever MADE that comment- right?

OK. I am being sent away! Something about Lerana Bobbit.

Do the records have dates by them? Vitter says this was a long time ago, before he was in the senate. So, I suppose it was Clinton’s fault – he was doing it in the WH so it was OK for Vitter wherever he was?

Interesting how Vitter achieved his House seat:

A Harvard graduate and former Rhodes Scholar, Vitter was elected to the House in 1999, filling the seat vacated by Rep. Bob Livingston, who was headed toward the House speakership in 1998 when he was forced to reveal his marital infidelities.

Vitter’s revelation comes a month after Hustler magazine Publisher Larry Flynt offered $1 million for information about illicit sexual relations with members of Congress. Flynt made a same pitch in October 1998, playing a role in Livingston’s outing.

Sorry Cassie. I guess that means Betsy takes over? Or is she still in shock over the car repair costs?

If Mrs. Vitter forgave him AFTER cutting his dick off- well that would make honest people out of them ALL.

We need a U.S. Senator who will stand up for Louisiana values, not Massachusetts’s values.

Whats the statue of limitaions on this can we get him out?

Massachusetts family values? Wassup with that?

Mitt? What about NYC family values? Or DC family values? Tennessee family values?

Huh?

limitations on doin hookers? five minutes?

Foreshadowing from the Nation in Nov 2004:

David Vitter – Louisiana

This far-right, family-values, three-term Congressman becomes the first Republican Senator elected in Louisiana since Reconstruction. As Vitter prepared to run for governor in 2002, the secretary of the Jefferson Parish Republican Party accused him of an 11-month affair with a prostitute. He denied the allegations but withdrew from the governor’s race due to marital problems. Two years later Vitter–whom Charles Pierce calls “a polite David Duke”–ran for the Senate opposing all forms of abortion, gun control and affirmative action, prompting cries of racism in the heavily-African American state. He also ran possibly the most ludicrous ad of the political season, showing UN troops from Libya, North Korea and Cuba taking over Louisiana elections and lowering the American flag. Vitter even outdid his formidable arch-conservative colleagues by scoring a perfect 100 from the ACU in 2002, for a lifetime average of 93.

Wow, 60 comments and not one troll with a Clinton did too, yet.

But Viter wrote it’s all in the past so I am sure all is forgiven by now.

Imagine the next election for this seat in LA, whether Vitter resigns or not. The questions of the press will be something to behold.

Of course, that could make finding GOP candidates could be tough . . . and that could make Howie Klein smile.

What about the ethics committe can he be expelled from the Senate hookers are illegal unlike adultery.

The Senate Health Committee will have to dig beneath the surface on Thursday to consider the nomination of Dr. James Holsinger to be surgeon general. Dr. Holsinger has high-level experience as a health administrator, but there are disturbing indications that he is prejudiced against homosexuals.

I am sure some guys over at the agency are working over time on this one, just to help things along.

I live in New Orleans. Vitter was connected to a Canal Street brothel before he ran for the Senate, everyone knew, but no one could get any solid evidence. If anyone else out there is from La., I think we should put serious pressure on him to resign. Mitch Landrieu might have a shot.

Related to Mary? (Lord I hope not, we need to get rid of her.)

From wikipedia:

On March 12, 2007 Senator Vitter announced his support for Rudy Giuliani and will serve as the Southern Regional Chair.[2] “I believe the Republican Party needs to always be the party of free market economics and reform. Rudy implemented those principles as Mayor of New York by cutting taxes 23 times, making government more efficient and moving welfare recipients into jobs. It’s exactly the kind of conservative reform the federal government needs”. He also commented in regard to Giuliani’s social views “It’s very clear to me that he’s not running for president to advance some liberal social agenda.”

Poor Rudy.

First his SC chair gets caught dealing coke, and now his Southern Regional Chair has zipper problems.

*sigh*

Rudy sure knows how to pick ‘em, doesn’t he? Makes you wonder what kind of cabinet Rudy would nominate.

The former Father Alan Paca is more than involved in the pedophile scandal as a pedophile suspect. He was one of three priests who were put in charge of investigating other priests who had been accused of pedophilia. It appears that his main function was to reloate accused priests to other parishes, not so much to find justice for the victims.

He is also a business partner of Rudy’s.

Naw, Kerik’s already blown his shot at DHS earlier. That’s when they discovered he’d hired undocumented immigrants, used a city paid for apartment to meet his mistress and a few other indiscretions. At his level now, it would have to be the FBI or DoJ. After all, he went from being Rudy’s driver to Police commissioner earlier.

I am quite happy in my little New England town with an interracial couple across the street, two elderly lesbians on the corner, the gay male couple and their adopted children two doors down and all the heterosexual couples and their kids in between. Funny how this gay marriage thing hasn’t resulted in the deterioration of any one else’s marriage on the street.

Didn’t they say there weren’t any names “of consequence” or something when they finished hyping their stupid story and actually broadcast it in May?

Betcha there’s some ABC or — even better! — Mouse honchos on that list.

That’s an evil thought, Teddy. I like it :) I wonder who (innocently looking around) is gonna ask ABC about that one?

Gonzales Was Told of FBI Violations
After Bureau Sent Reports, Attorney General Said He Knew of No Wrongdoing

By John Solomon
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, July 10, 2007; Page A01

As he sought to renew the USA Patriot Act two years ago, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales assured lawmakers that the FBI had not abused its potent new terrorism-fighting powers. “There has not been one verified case of civil liberties abuse,” Gonzales told senators on April 27, 2005.

Six days earlier, the FBI sent Gonzales a copy of a report that said its agents had obtained personal information that they were not entitled to have. It was one of at least half a dozen reports of legal or procedural violations that Gonzales received in the three months before he made his statement to the Senate intelligence committee, according to internal FBI documents released under the Freedom of Information Act.

From wikipedia:

On March 12, 2007 Senator Vitter announced his support for Rudy Giuliani and will serve as the Southern Regional Chair.[2] “I believe the Republican Party needs to always be the party of free market economics and reform. Rudy implemented those principles as Mayor of New York by cutting taxes 23 times, making government more efficient and moving welfare recipients into jobs. It’s exactly the kind of conservative reform the federal government needs”. He also commented in regard to Giuliani’s social views “It’s very clear to me that he’s not running for president to advance some liberal social agenda.”

Poor Rudy.

First his SC chair gets caught dealing coke, and now his Southern Regional Chair has zipper problems.

*sigh*

Rudy sure knows how to pick ‘em, doesn’t he? Makes you wonder what kind of cabinet Rudy would nominate.

Say, what’s Bernie Kerik doing these days?

I heard Rudy replaced the coke dealer with the coke dealers father who is a racist. How can we trust Rudy on terroism when he can’t even screen his campaign workers. Oh yeah Rudy has a priest working for his company who’s involved in the pedophile scandal.

The former Father Alan Paca is more than involved in the pedophile scandal as a pedophile suspect. He was one of three priests who were put in charge of investigating other priests who had been accused of pedophilia. It appears that his main function was to reloate accused priests to other parishes, not so much to find justice for the victims.

He is also a business partner of Rudy’s.

Didn’t Father Alan Paca also travel all over the country, advising other dioceses how to “handle” abuse victims and their complaining parents?

Congressman Denies Affair With Prostitute, Says Charges Are Politically Motivated

by Christopher Tidmore
PoliticsLA.com columnist
posted by March 26, 2004

For the first time, Congressman David Vitter has spoken out publically about allegations that he carried on an eleven month affair with a known prostitute named Wendy Cortez.

On WSMB radio last Saturday, a caller who identified himself as Elwood asked Vitter about charges, made by a member of the Louisiana Republican State Central Committee in the Weekly that the then-State Representative, had had an affair with a known prosition in the French Quarter. Elwood continued, “Would you be willing to sign an affidavit that you have ever known, met or had relations with one Wendy Cortez.”

Vitter responded, “I think you know that that alligation is abosultely and completely untrue…I have said that on numerous occassions…I’ll say that in any forum…Unfortuanately, that’s just crass Louisiana politics, now that I am running for the Senate. I have made that clear that it is alll completely untrue…And, it’s obviously politically motivated.”

In point of fact, Congressman Vitter had previously refused any comment on the charges. The story appeared in this newspaper just days after Vitter dropped out of the race for Governor in June of 2002. The Louisiana Weekly published allegations that Cortez, a known prostitute, claimed that she had an 11-month affair with Vitter, a state representative at the time.

depends on each state’s writing of their laws – some states only have laws prohibiting the working girls and no criminal liability for those paying customers. so would need to know dc laws and surrounding states before making a determination if a crime has occurred.

and it could be a misdemeanor – probably is – which would have a low term statute of limitations.

Betcha Vitter’s sleeping in the extra room tonite. I sure would, after reading this quote from Politico:

In 2000, Vitter was included in a Newhouse News Service story about the strain of congressional careers on families.

His wife, Wendy, was asked by the Newhouse News reporter: If her husband was as unfaithful as former President Bill Clinton, would she be as forgiving as Hillary Clinton?

“I’m a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary,” Wendy Vitter told Newhouse News. “If he does something like that, I’m walking away with one thing, and it’s not alimony, trust me.”

Spare room, my ass. If it were me, I’d be at the Park Hyatt.

That explains it! “I was just conducting official research into a very entrepeneurial small business . . .” Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Vitter’s senate website also includes this under the heading “Women’s Leadership Forum:”

My Women’s Leadership Forum is designed to help me focus on the views and needs of women and families.

Every year we meet as a group to discuss issues important to women and families across Louisiana. These meetings have produced an ongoing dialogue about the initiaives you want me to address in the Senate as well as specific work we can pursue together in the community.

Your input on education, health care, and other key issues for our families has been crucial to my work in the Senate, and I want to continue our dialogue – it’s crucial for me to hear your view on issues. I have designated two staff members to serve as my liasions to our Women’s Leadership Forum. Nicole Hebert and Polly Koury in my Lafayette office can be reached at (337) 262-6898 or feel free to email me. I look forward to hearing from you.

I’m guessing his two staffers will be getting an earful down in Lafayette.

More from Vitter’s senate website, this from the “About David” section:

What they’re NOT saying is that he was in the House from 1999 to 2004.

And do you know how he got to the House? Because his predecessor, Bob Livingston, resigned.

You remember old Bob, don’t you?

The Irish Times has learned that Mr Livingston became aware that Mr Flynt had in his possession audiotapes of sexually explicit telephone conversations between Mr Livingston and a woman. It was the nature of the sexual talk that was so disturbing, said this source. It was clearly a sexual relationship of a sado-masochistic or dominant-submissive nature.

At one point in the conversation, Mr Livingston asks the woman a question to the effect, can’t I be the victim next time? (The precise wording of the question could not be confirmed.) What was clear was that Mr Livingston was clearly interested in playing a sexually submissive role.

Mr Flynt, for the record, did not wish to disclose the specific nature of the evidence he has against Mr Livingston. “It was much more than he said in his initial statement. He knew our investigation was under way.”

With a sly smile, Mr Flynt looked into the camera at CNN and said: “Let’s say I understand why he resigned. I’m happy if our efforts had anything to do with it.”

Some would say that they have a feeling of peace where once they felt full of tension. Others would say that it comes through the priest/pastor/clergy person, who speaks words of absolution following confession.

What’s tricky, of course, is what happens AFTER you receive this forgiveness (however you believe it came to you).

“Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling,”

In the Roman Catholic Church, in the Sacarament of Reconciliation (formerly known as Penance, and colloquially known as going to confession), the priest gives the penitent God’s absolution.

As far as the wife’s forgiveness, let’s just sat that there is ample room for speculation as to what that really meant.

Gonzales Was Told of FBI Violations
After Bureau Sent Reports, Attorney General Said He Knew of No Wrongdoing

By John Solomon
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, July 10, 2007; Page A01

As he sought to renew the USA Patriot Act two years ago, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales assured lawmakers that the FBI had not abused its potent new terrorism-fighting powers. “There has not been one verified case of civil liberties abuse,” Gonzales told senators on April 27, 2005.

Six days earlier, the FBI sent Gonzales a copy of a report that said its agents had obtained personal information that they were not entitled to have. It was one of at least half a dozen reports of legal or procedural violations that Gonzales received in the three months before he made his statement to the Senate intelligence committee, according to internal FBI documents released under the Freedom of Information Act.

This one’s too easy: What verified case? Show me the case number, show me a notarized verification. The Patriot Act supersedes civil rights…… ad nauseum

This guy has made it known that the Senate was just a stepping stone to the White House. Of course, Vitter denied any involvement in prostitues in his past when he was running for the Senate.

“Congressman Denies Affair With Prostitute

For the first time, Congressman David Vitter has spoken out publically about allegations that he had an 11-month affair with a known prostitute named Wendy Cortez. On WSMB radio last Saturday, a caller who identified himself as Elwood asked Vitter about charges made by a member of the Louisiana REPUBLICAN State Central Committee in the Weekly that the then-State Representative had had an affair with a known prostitute in the French Quarter.

Elwood said, “Would you be willing to sign an affidavit that you have never known, met or had relations with one Wendy Cortez?”

Vitter responded, “I think you know that THAT allegation is absolutely and completely untrue…I have said that on numerous occasions…I’ll say that in any forum…Unfortunately, that’s just crass Louisiana politics, now that I am running for the Senate. I have made that clear that it is all completely untrue…And, it’s obviously politically motivated.”

Of course, he never agreed to sign the affidavit ;-)

Congressman Vitter had previously refused any comment on the charges. The story appeared in this newspaper just days AFTER Vitter dropped out of the race for governor in June of 2002. The Louisiana Weekly published allegations that Cortez, a known prostitute, claimed that she had an 11-month affair with Vitter, a state representative at the time.”

The FIRST ACCUSATIONS came from a fellow Republican.

“Supporters of Vitter flatly deny the charges.

Vincent Bruno, secretary of the REPUBLICAN Party of Jefferson Parish and a member of the RSCC, supplied documentation of detailed accounts of his meetings with Cortez, along with specific testimony that she provided against the congressman, claims that he only came forward with the prostitute’s name and personal information when pressed as a means to protect his integrity after Bruno was attacked on a statewide radio show.

“I KNOW it’s not true. I don’t give it any credence,” said Jim St. Raymond, political consultant to Vitter. Vitter’s official spokesperson Tonya Newman said the motivation is revenge because Vitter defeated Dave Treen in the First District Congressional election to replace Bob Livingston two years ago. Bruno was a supporter of Treen’s. “All these rumors are obviously untrue. They are coming from his [Vitter’s] enemies, and they have not been successful politically, so they are going after him personally — and his family. I think it’s significant to know that these people have had a vendetta against Vitter since he was in the Legislature,” Newman said.”

Even Bruno said that the fact of Vitters gallivanting with call-girls and being a moralistic hypocrite wouldn’t trump his support for a fellow Republican.]

“I don’t know if the allegations are true…I only revealed them when attacked on the air…I bear no animosity towards him…I intend to support Vitter if he is the endorsed Republican candidate. I have no political motivation. I hope he wins the Senate race.”

Make you wonder why Representative Alexander even bothered to complain to the Republican House leadership about Mark Foley! Apparently it’s just normal Mardi Gras sexual revelry for the Republicans down that way.

http://www.louisianaweekly.com…..?20040329m

Vitter claims that he received forgiveness from his (Lorena Bobbit-like) wife. Did we notice a voice change of several octasves at some point in his career? Or maybe Mrs. Vitter is more like Hillary than she would like to admit.

But I gotta admit that his assertion that he asked for AND RECEIVED forgiveness from God sounds a little odd. Does he hear voices like Bush?

Maybe he should take the fact that his phone number wasn’t “miraculously expunged” from Mme. Palfrey’s phone logs as an ominous SIGN that it wasn’t GOD doing the talkng to him!

And Vitter seems to have left someone out of the list of those that he needs to ask forgiveness from…the voters of Louisiana who elected him AFTER he LIED about having any sexual activities with Prostitutes…even though he now says that he had told his wife of such acts.

Vitter should resign, and then offer the voters of Loisiana the chance to make a new choice. If he wants to run again then he should at least let the voters state that they approve of a whore-mongering, lying, moral hypocrite.

If someone wanted to start with the interesting ones I’d suggest looking for those in the DC and Virginia area codes.

Another strategy is to do a run of certain Congressional or Senatorial field office numbers and similar area codes and prefixes on Palfreys list.

Maybe if Vitter and his wife had gotten one of those super-duper, stainless and waterproof “covenant marraiges,” none of this would have happened.
