Diaper Dave Vitter challenged by a rape victim over his vote on the Franken amendment.
Then, in the finest tradition of he-man Republicans, the miserable shitstain ran away from the woman. The video is brief, yet remarkably poignant.

About the Obama administration being against Senator Franken's amendment?

6. Obama supports the amendment but feels the current version would be difficult to enforce
and would like for it to be tightened up in a way so it was more ironclad.

4. "I'm not asking Obama. I'm asking you."
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled

I checked and checked the voting records on the Franken Amendment, and I don't see that Obama voted on it at all, Mr. Vitter. What in the hell are you talking about? The President doesn't get to vote on Senate bills. It's difficult to tell whether Vitter is that contemptuously stupid, or if he thinks the woman asking the question is that stupid. Either way, it has to be pretty insulting for Louisianans to be represented by this man.

5. Vitter is not so much ignorant as contemptuously evasive
Edited on Mon Nov-02-09 02:46 PM by SpiralHawk
He tried to pass the buck of reponsibility, a standard Republicon trick for diverting attention from the heinously stanky crap in their own diapers.

Diaper Dave:
