Vitter will have to resign

[MonkeyFunk]

he can't withstand a prostitution scandal.

Blanco will appoint his replacement. We're going to gain one seat in the Senate. Yay for us.

[AlCzervik]

1. no doubt and i'll bet he'll be all teary eyed and blubbering and begging for his

wife not to remove the offending appendage. MMMMMpopcorn.

[EST]

25. Yeah, I suspect his wife will be getting her own phone number.

Don't bother calling her, she'll cut you off.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

2. These people have no shame, what makes you think he "has" to resign?

[Swamp Rat]

6. Livingston

Well, Livingston showed a little decency by resigning (for being a repuke hypocrite), but Vitter is 100% Bushlicker.

[Hippo_Tron]

8. Livingston didn't really have to resign, he just couldn't become Speaker

And I suppose that when that was snatched from him, he didn't see a point in staying in Congress.

[RB TexLa]

10. Livingston resigned out of embarrassment of costing himself the Speakership and didn't want to be

just a member of the house after that. He would have won reelection.

[Swamp Rat]

14. You and Hippo_Tron have a good point

I forgot about his desire for the Speakership.

Btw, I went to high school with his son.

[WinkyDink]

20. Livingston resigned after his wife begged Larry Flynt not to print even more damaging info. IMO,

about males.

[Old and In the Way]

3. Nah. He already found God. So he's good for another 5 years

Unless the voters have enough of the Party of Greedy Hypocrites.

[RB TexLa]

4. Are you crazy?

This won't effect him at all. Do you think he is elected from the midwest or something?

[orleans]

5. sure hope you're right! n/t

[ORDagnabbit]

7. Contact Senator " I sleep with whores" Vitnner and let him know what you think

9. nope...Louisiana Catholics like to party and then confess....

normal standards of fundy Bible-beltism don't apply here

[EST]

26. Having known a Louisiana Catholic or two, I would guess

the guiding philosophy is still the same--
No point in going to confession if you have nothing to confess and confession is good for the soul. So...

Also it's in for a penny, in for a pound. Confessing to envy or other venal sins isn't very gratifying, so, if you are going to confess, it should be for something really good, otherwise, why attract attention to yourself?

[Az]

11. Are you kidding?

Ted Haggard recovered from homosexuality in 2 weeks with the guidance of the lord. They can do anything and get away with it as long as they play the "I got better through Jesus" card.

[nolabels]

22. I got a couple of questions on those (must be something new) cards

1. Do they work well on spouses, family and friends?

2. Can you pick them up at the local five and dime drugstore or do you need one of those laying hands on type of ceremonials?





P.S. not that i think i would ever need one but that old boy scout motto "be prepared" seems to never leave my head nowadays :shrug:

[uncle ray]

24. for the record...

haggard got booted from his own ministry because of what he did. AND run out of town too.

hmmm, somebody check to see if James Dobson is on the callgirl list...

[Art_from_Ark]

12. Who says?

The only Repub Congressman/Senator I can think of who has ever resigned a position as a result of a sexual fling with an adult woman was Rep. Bob Livingston (also from Louisiana), who resigned as Speaker of the House, and then that was just because he would have been presiding over the Bill Clinton lying-about-sex impeachment circus.

[Hippo_Tron]

13. I don't think he'll resign, if he did I'd hope Blanco would appoint Charlie Melancon

He's by far the best choice in terms of being able to get re-elected.

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. Well, if Bill Clinton had to be Impeached for an affair, Mr. Hypocrite Vitter

needs to slither away in shame.

I wonder how many MORE repukes are in that little black book? Bwahahahahahahaha!


The thing IS....NO ONE would give a rats ass about what the repukes do in their personal life had they not put themselves on that self righteous, high and mighty, morals and values pedestal. Dumb asses.

[still_one]

16. and why again did you say he has to resign?

The administration won't let him, and the MSM will not cover this very much either

I wish you were right, but I don't think so

[sampsonblk]

28. Depends on who else is on the list

If he's the biggest fish, I can't imagine the GOP allowing him to stay around through the '08 election. He would help sink them.

[IChing]

17. Jesus has forgiven him

it is all over

Jesus said this as did he

[sendero]

29. Exactly..

... JESUS forgave him, so you should too.

[sleipnir]

31. What if Jesus asks him to resign? In a press conference, none the less?

n/t

[aquart]

18. How many years old is this? That's just...not gonna happen.

[L. Coyote]

19. The comedians are going to have a real field day, and there's the French Quarter whore lie.

So, his reelection prospects are now very poor. It seems he lied during his campaign, slinging this accusation "just crass Louisiana politics."

Senator's Number on 'Madam' Phone List

During his Senate campaign, Vitter was accused by a member of the Louisiana Republican State Central Committee of carrying on a lengthy affair with a prostitute in New Orleans's French Quarter.

In a radio interview, Vitter called the allegation "absolutely and completely untrue" and dismissed it as "just crass Louisiana politics."

......

[Golden Raisin]

21. Just like Libby had to go to jail.

Just like Gonzales was forced to resign in shame for being the Nation's Chief Law Officer and boldfacedly lying to Congressional Committees. He'll do a little public Jimmy Swaggart-style boo-hoo-hooin' and weepily ask Jay-zuz for forgiveness and keep on shovelling the pork to his state.

[juajen]

30. Excuse me, what f**king pork?

N/T

[BuyingThyme]

23. Really?

Damn, I hope that's right. And here I was, thinking it was just one more thing I didn't care about. Now I know he's a menace to society and shouldn't be permitted to set foot in the high house.

[Freddie Stubbs]

27. Doubtful

The fact that he admitted his guilt before someone called him out shows he wants to hold on to the seat. He isn't up for reelection until 2010, and even if he were to resign, he would likely wait until next year when there may be a Republican Governor to pick his replacement.
