David "Diaper" Vitter actually calls Janet Napolitano "Out of Touch with Reality."
Above video is of the Diaper Dandy giving a presser after he got busted cheating on his wife with the DC Madam in 2007.)
Apparently David 'the Diaper' Vitter thinks we all have bad memories. Just to remind you, he's the Senator of Louisiana and a Mr. Family Values asshat who was caught in the DC Madam's phone book. It was also reported that he likes to wear diapers with his hooker buddies. Not that I'm against diapers mind you, but it doesn't get any creepier than how he uses them. Anyway, he now has come out and called Janet Napolitano "out of touch with reality."
Mr. Vitter's sharpest criticism was directed at Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and her comment after the failed Dec. 25 bombing of a U.S.-bound flight that "the system worked."
"Clearly, those initial comments were crazy," he said during an interview with The Washington Times' "America's Morning News" radio show. "Clearly, she was out of touch with reality."
Mr. Vitter, a conservative facing re-election this year, didn't call for Ms. Napolitano's resignation but said her comments have "eroded confidence" and the decision about whether she remains on the job belongs only to President Obama.
Ms. Napolitano has attempted to clarified her comments by saying she meant that officials were alerted immediately after the bombing attempt and security measure swiftly were put in place.
Still, Mr. Vitter wants Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. to give a clearer explanation about who assigned a U.S. lawyer to alleged bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and who authorized reading him Miranda rights.
What Janet said was clearly a mistake after the failed attack, but not a firing offense and for Vitter to say anything about another person's behavior is the old pot-kettle-black deal. I wonder why anyone in the media would ask him for a quote anyway. Ahhh, It was The Washington Times. My bad.
And you know, maybe in conservative-land we're all out of touch with reality because diapers and hookers is the norm for Congressman in the GOP.
... diapers and hookers is the norm for Congressman in the GOP
Is it? Really?
I'm sticking with it...

when his diapers need changing.
Actually I think it was 100% clear AT THE TIME SHE SAID IT that she meant "the system worked" AFTER the would-be bomber was subdued on the plane.
Sure, she could be (and was!) criticized for her tone-deafness at not being sufficiently upset/outraged that the incident went so far as it did.
Democracy is too important to be entrusted to politicians.
Rise Up!
Protest!
As for Napolitano, I for one, do not want people who get upset easily driving the train I am riding on. I also got what she said when she said it.
We should target Vitter for an ass-kicking in his upcoming re-election bid.
I don't know what all the hoopla was about what she said. Clearly, the notification and response system we had in place last Christmas was far more effective than what we had in September of 2001.
Vitter filled his diaper. God these people are shameless.
Like the guy on the daily show said. These people are going to be so embarrassed if the ever develop the capacity to feel shame.
republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness!
Being in touch with reality is:
Paying prostitutes to diaper you, since your wife thinks it's kinda icky.
Besides, she's busy taking care of the kids.
Get bent Vitter you degenerate ratbag.
Your party allowed the worst terrorist attack in American history to happen because you were too arrogant and self serving to listen to what Clinton was trying to tell you clots.

"Mr. Vitter wants Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr"
It should say that Mr.Vitter just wants to let everyone know that he, too, is on the Republican bandwagon regarding every single talking point from Napolitino to the Miranda rights.
He's up for re-election shortly? Oh really? Well that is why he was interviewed, i'm sure the paper backs Republican politicians and they wanted to give him some press time to clear his name and reassure everyone he is a republican.
Would a democrat get that treatment, if every other factor remained the same? I doubt it.
Maybe coming down from a diaper/hooker high makes people edgy and cranky.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
I like him. He' silly.
Dear Mr. Amato,
God bless you, first of all and last of all.
But let's stay calm. We look desperate when we hold up Eliot Spitzer as an authority on the same page that we excoriate Vitter for visiting prostitutes.
Love you, man,
Roddy1984
you're right, there is no difference...
Spitzer, gets caught, resigns.
Vitter, gets caught, business as usual.
/rolls eyes at concern troll
Yo Pete,
Between the two parties there is a difference, sure. Like I said, I chose Spitzer twice because he was a Democrat.
But you -- seriously -- see no parallel beween Spitzer and Vitter? Comon, let's not be blind to the obvious.
Progressives can do better than Eliot Spitzer.
Concern troll Roddy
parallels?
yeah, I saw Vitter get away scot free, and I saw Spitzer resign.
I saw Spitzer take responsibility for his actions (sure, only after he got caught) and I see Vitter has yet to take any responsibility for his actions.
I also saw Spitzer going after the big dogs, while I saw Vitter work for the big dogs.
In addition, I noticed that this post has nothing to do with the Spitzer post that was made five hours earlier, by a different blogger.
lots of parallels, at cross purposes.
Right. And Bill Clinton and Barney Frank resigned when they were accused of immorality. Oh wait, they didn't. But they should have, I guess -- that what you mean?
Guiliani went after the big dogs, too. It doesn't take a lot of courage to do that from behind a badge. And how many convictions did your big dog Spitzer win?
Beware the high horse you ride, my friend.
i'LL KEEP COMPANY WITH fRANK AND cLINTON ANY TIME THY'LL HAVE BME.
[And you beware of the off topic territory you are turning your horse toward-Sitemonitor]
Fair enough.
To be completely honest I do not see what has made this particular item newsworthy, but I do see hypocrisy considering the treatment that some like Howard Dean and Spitzer get.

Dear Pete,
Site Monitor chastised me. Having re-read my posts, I take his point. My apologies.
I like you AND your horse, high low or otherwise. Keep up the fight!
R.
High-powered brainiac v. diaper wearing freak who gets ratted out by his hooker. Pick one.
I hope we have better choices than either of these creeps.
Oliver North ring any repug bells? Treason, selling arms and drugs for banana republic's armies, lies to Congress, then...
runs for Senator from Virginia!
You correctly point out paying a prostitute for sex is illegal, but let's not forget Vitter was expounding "family values" while doinking those girls.
We can forgive crimes such as prostitution, but hypocrisy is something we don't take kindly to.
Dear Reluctant,
Not a hypocrite? Eliot Spitzer was the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the State of New York, where he oversaw the prosecution of prostitutes.
Actually, their hypocrisy is what I find most forgivable, being a hypocrite myself.
Roddy
Eliot Spitzer visited hookers and resigned. It did not impair his ability to reason. Vitter has been a hypocritical sack-of-shit douchebag from the get go.

Diaper Boy ..
UnderWear Bomber Incident ..
hmm ..
Democracy is too important to be entrusted to politicians.
Rise Up!
Protest!
Dave was the original underwear bomber and like the latest one, they both had a load that didn't explode.
that people who can potentially ruin powerful government figures like the DC Madam or Mike Connell end up dead?
What ever happened to her "little red book" anyway?
She ate it right before committing the suicide she told authorities she was afraid she would commit.
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
remind me how Edwards (no longer in office) who was never a 'family values' guy
is equal to Vitter (still in office) and a nonstop 'family values' bloviater...
also, as hard as it is for a conservative to wrap their tiny minds around, I have yet to see
anyone stick up for Edwards (who again is no longer in office) - what Edwards did sucks.
conservatives see Vitter do what he did, and be a complete and utter hypocrite, and they still love him.
your moral equivalence slip is showing, honey.
It cannot credibly be said that the difference between Edwards and Vitter is the former's freedom from hypocrisy. Edwards, contemptibly and fraudulently, made the relationship with his wife a huge part of his campaign. And it worked! Or nearly did.
The difference between the two parties is not that one conducts its private life better than the other, or that one is less hypocritical than the other.
It's that one protects the interests of the powerless better than the other
member comes here to name one democrat who made some mistakes. Check out a history of repugnant activities here!

Holy crap, that is some kind of list, and I didn't even see Larry Craig, Sanford or Ensign on it!
There are so many uptight reichwing family values hypocrite perverts, that we can't even keep up with them.
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
I didn't know there were that many people that would admit to being republican!
But I have know for years that they are disturbed people. I guess a republican cannot live on greed alone. You need a little child booty to make thing right! Pun intended. But really,
republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness!
Dave in a baby voice- "Baby made a boom boom."
Really, David Vitter takes the cake. He is a monument to the insane religulous bullshit that the reich wingers are peddling. You shouldn't do this, be that, hump those, but I secretly do and love it! Change my ditee mommy!
The Republican is Diaper Man. Who does he think he is fooling now?
This is going to take some effort on our part. The Republicans are as stubborn as cock roaches.

Uhhh, maybe Mr. Abdulmutallab was read his rights and given a lawyer because he was being arrested for a crime, you fucking cretin. That's what happens in the US of A. According to the Supreme Court in Miranda vs. Arizona, law enforcement must advise a suspect of his rights and provide access to legal counsel.
Does Vitter really think that our response to terrorism would be better if we just let the police free-lance and make up procedures?
Does Vitter think at all?
has been suspended, too. I really need to keep up with this stuff. We are almost at the "every man for himself" stage.
and it bears repeating, Vitter's wife is a babe. too bad she's married to such an a-hole.

Assuming there are still humans in a couple thousand years, which certainly isn't a certainty one way or the other, it will be clear why this empire went south, as it did for the Romans, when corporate interests at work and a little diaper play on private time superseded the good of the country. 500 years of Dark Ages under Macho Jesus coming?
Jesus wore a diaper on the crucifix, look it up!
Nobody talks about how Mr.Vitter is helping the country with its economic recovery. He gets charged at least TRIPLE for his particular fetish, so that means 3x more money goes back to the community.
Don't get me started about his trickle down economics theory.
By the time antiquarians get around to investigating what happened in early 21st Century America, the credibility of its mainstream media will be the equivalent to that of the Piltdown Man.
It's too bad that stupidity isn't a commodity , the wingnuts and Repugs could eliminate the deficit over night .
Attacking republicans based on their perfectly normal sexual fetishes is delaying the day when they can come out of the closet with them and start excepting that others bedroom behaviors that should be private and personal. Of course he used his wife as a prop to get elected, every republican that gets found out as being promiscuous or gay or into S&M gets dragged through the coals. How could he proclaim he was anything but a 'Leave it to Beaver' family man and stand a chance?
I realize this is a voice in the wilderness, but I say that schtupping hookers with diapers and getting anonymous BJ's should be private. The longer these acts carry a sentence of attack and the person's views on other issues no longer count, the longer it is that issues of substance get avoided.
I think it is time that someone stood up and said that these deeds no longer were public, and it is not going to be the republicans that start. At least if the other side stopped attacking them for their peccadilloes that may eventually stand a chnace with their own.
Sorry about the typos above, I spent more time on it than I wanted, and I rushed.
Yo ra-ra-raw,
I am of two minds. On the one hand, I am grateful for the progressive attack dogs who fairly and unfairly fight fire with fire.
But having witnessed my gay friends suffer ridicule since playground days, I cannot hop on the bandwagon of mocking Vitter for his diaper wearing. I don't care or mind if anyone wants to wear a diaper or pay a hooker, and the but-it's-really-the-hypocrisy justification for the bully-boy taunts rings hollow. These attacks do more than coarsen the discourse; they perpetuate intolerance.
Let's win the war not the skirmish, and rally round fairness and decency and progressive social policy.
Vitter claimed to be a "Leave it to Beaver" man?
Is it??
IS IT??
Ohhh YEEEESSSS...
I THINK I HEAR THE WAAAAAAAAMBULANCE....
WHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..........
The mean media is parked outside my house...
WHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.....
Love that outfit
Oh meeeowwww...
