Insult to Injury: Vitter Crashes Car After Hookergate Town Hall Meeting
Senator David Vitter fell victim to a humiliating incident today. No, it wasn't the town hall meeting he held with LA residents discussing his hypocritical involvement in the "DC Madam" prostitution scandal. It was after the meeting when his driver backed into a parking sign while quickly fleeing the press.

Fender-benders aside, Vitter finds himself in some hot water now that Deborah Palfrey is going to trial and he's been named as a potential witness. As News 9 reports, Vitter may even invoke his 5th amendment rights. We'll be sure to follow this one.
so? this is schadenfreude. don't post junk like this.
That's what he gets for taking his hands off the wheel to play with himself...what a moron.
Isn't it illegal to back over a public sign and keep going?
grgry @ 1:
yet, you take the time to comment. I bet you scream at the TV instead of changing channels, too.
grgry @ 1:
The main point of the post is to cover the developments in the case -- namely, that he's been listed as a potential witness. The car accident was just a bonus.

I thought the same thing. According to the article, the police chief has addressed that:
Gonzales Police Chief Bill Landry says, following the incident, his department received a phone from Vitter's office offering to pay for any damages. Landry says the sign was slightly bent and was straightened out again. The sign did not need to be replaced, he said. Landry said the incident will not be pursued further. "We've had several of our police units hit the same sign," Chief Landry said.
Yeah, but shouldn't stay there and wait until the police write it up?
Karma
5th amendment rights are cool...
I invoke them everytime the IRS comes to my door to ask questions about my income tax return that they never got!
They ask how much money I made...then I drop the bomb...Can any info I give you be used against me in a court of law?
then the agents hang their heads and (reluctantly) are forced to say yes...
then I shut the door and they walk away...amazing!!! ...5th amendment rights are cool!!!

I look forward to grgy's award-winning blog that always posts items which never offend anybody's delicate sensibilities about what is or isn't news.

very Monty Python-ish, hee hee

That's why I love cops, because even if the sign is in a stupid enough place that they themselves hit it, they'll leave it there. And you can bet your ass that if I hit that sign, I would get a ticket - or at least be expected to stop and tell someone. But of course, if its a Senator, "Oh no, sir, that was our fault."
Two other observations:
Does Vitter look ten years older and twenty pounds heavier than he did last year?
Was that a hybrid that Vitter was driving? Good for him!
kablooie @ 10:
Especially the way that the back wheel came off the ground!
I love grandmothers and hate mercedes drivers

He's going to take the fifth...

...of scotch.
Old Billy Hussein @ 11:
I think it was nubile driving.
It's hard to drive in a diaper.
Hope he was wearing his diaper.
Hit and run!
Why does GOD hate the GOP so?
What a stupid place to put a sign!
had it been anyone of us that hit the sighn the cops would have hunted us down beat the shit out of us tazered us till our nuts were singed dragged our asses thru broken glass and then begin to mistreat us! sigh hiel to the new amurika
SilentPatriot @ 5:
it's all nonsense. vitter hit and damaged public property, then fled the scene of the accident before reporting it to the authorities and awaiting their arrival.
clearly a hit and run.
because of the erratic behaviour they should ave breathylized him, and given the out come, possibly tazed him and thrown him in the drunk tank for dui processing.
Thank you, Universe!
Diaper run!
chortle
Ruthless People @ 16:
Tell me about it
abarts @ 4:
BWAHAHAHA......I bet his TV yells back.
RW @ 19:
The GOP is God's Old Party. The Democratic Party is God's New Party.
The driver couldn't see the sign. The back seat was piled high with diapers.
Resign, Shitter! Do the right thing for once, you hypocritic bastard.
Holy crap thats funny!
Now Vitter can be arrested for hit and run.
From the news report it does seem like he (and his driver) left the scene of an accident without reporting it. Fortunately it was just a parking sign, but that's still public property.
Old Billy Hussein @ 11:
Was that a hybrid that Vitter was driving? Good for him!
The rustbelt thanks him for driving a Japanese car.
Nice dent.
I'll be the idiot and ask, "Why is a U.S. Senator driving a Japanese car?"
Ruthless People @ 16,Ken@ 17,gregrocker @24 & Liberal Jer @ 29:
HA! *bah *dum *bum...ssssst!~
"and now...your moment of zen..."
"I want to reitterate what a pathetic and sorry excuse I am for a member of the Senate, especially to my Depends distibutor website on which my Master(bator) Card was declined several times last week. I am so sorry! Send David a Hooker America! He needs to keep busy!
A few seconds after Vitter hit the sign and fled the scene, he ran into a prostitute.
I would also like to reiterate the power of proofreading before committing to post.

The getaway and getting away with it are always the hardest parts...
This was funny. Gee, we needed that.
Did he say he's going to "stay hard at work"?
did someone say rear end and pole?
Some possible resposnes ....
"It was Bill Clinton's fault!"
uhh, nah
"It was Hillary Clinton's fault!"
hang on,
"It was Condi Rice's fault!"
oh dear
"It was Karl Rove's fault!"
"Tom Delay, Jack Abramroff, Bob Dole, Dick Cheney, Mitch McConnell - ANYone but me!!!!!!!!!!"
Any other citizen would have been stopped, given a breathalyser and ticketed.
Vitter feels he's better than everyone else.
He drives like a Kennedy.

B I N G O!
You just won the big fluffy bear playing "Whack-a-Troll"!

I'd make a comment about comeuppance but I think that one's too obvious...

wfeather @ 34:
I'm from Michigan, and I drive a car made in Indiana. It's a Subaru. My wife drives a car that was made in Canada with parts from Mexico, Brazil, and China. It's a Ford.
The big three have nobody but themselves to blame for losing market share.
Hey,
Senator Diaper Dave Vitter seems to be in a rushto get back to work.
That is funny because you have to have been at work to go back to it................
I see a playground in the background there. It's a good thing a small child wasn't standing behind that car when he fled that meeting.
He needs a driver for a Honda Civic? What a douche!
even though vitter is a morons moron, he still stands tall in the republican party. they relish the fact that other than condoleeza rice, he is the only republican who messes (literally) around with women. the other republicans prefer men.
I really hope he's forced to testify and take the Fifth.
You'd think a guy who could afford expensive call girls would a. have a nicer car than a Honda and b. being a lapel pin republic drive and American car. No wonder he wears diapers.
No sweat! He's a GOPer. It's only a crime or a moral failure if a Democrat does it.
Carol @ 44:
He certainly did, Carol. We'll have to file that under "too much information" [*snerk*]...
I bet Pickles(Laura Bush) taught him how to drive.
Eliot Spitzer resigned, why is David Vitter still shaming the American people?
