...during her confirmation hearing today was really too unbelievable to comprehend. Watching the man in the center of a huge Hookergate scandal sitting there trying to destroy Bill Clinton's Global Initiative was like staring at Salvador Dali painting in the halls of Congress.

Even Sean Hannity and Kathryn Jean Lopez -- not exactly right-wing shrinking violets -- were urging Vitter to resign.

Moments ago, Republican Senator David Vitter held his first press conference since his admission that he cheated on his wife by using an escort service in Washington D.C.. Vitter claims he is the victim of his political enemies and just like all good, hypocritical Republicans these days, he's not going to the right thing.

He pays no price for his hanging with hookers by the traditional media and he's acting like a smug jackass to Hillary.

Digby has more:

Whenever I see some little diaper wearing toady like David Vitter get all filled with righteous indignation about conflict of interest and setting precedents I just have to laugh. George W. Bush's entire family was a walking conflict of interest for eight years --- his father even accepting money directly from the Saudi Arabian government for his own personal use. It was assumed that Poppy was clean because well .... he was one of them, if you know what I mean.

The village doesn't like Clinton doing this work because it makes their obsessive loathing look petty and shallow, which it is. They insist that there must be something nefarious about it, because they are still convinced that Bill Clinton came to town and trashed the place and they cannot rest until everyone in the world agrees with them. Which it never will.

You can't be a republican without being a hypocrite at the same time. Almost anything they do is covering up something that goes in the complete opposite direction. Even every bill that republicans come up with is named so that you think it does the opposite.

Vitters is so funny and fat now. Poster child for Hookers and it's not over yet for him.

Now Senator Lugar questions Hillary about a possible conflict of interest with the Clinton Foundation. Yet he was Chairman of the Aguriculture Committee as he got his brother Todd billions for the Family Business Marion County soybean/corn Farm. If the Law Makers were required to release their spouse's profit from Bill they pass or the committees their on we wouldn't have any Law Makers. Now that suggestion that Bill Clinton got Foreign donations to his Library was the biggest joke. Bush couldn't get people to contribute to his Library so his Daddy as the Saudi's and Dubai to donate millions. Senator Lugar must of forgot as Bush has been borrowing and using Saudi money since his Texas Oil days. It was show time for Law Makers who have done nothing for 8 years but suck up to Bush/Cheney and steal as much of the taxpayers money as possible.

Who cares if Vitter paid for a million hookers? He is a right-wing nutjob whose most important policy positions include the fictitious War of Terror and the Fairytale Missile Defense Shield. The guy is a total wacko, who cares what his penis does?

god does not like a reckless penis!

When it was Vitters' turn should have said: "Would the gentleman from Louisiana care to proposition- er... I mean question Mrs. Clinton at this time?"

Good one!

Shouldn't he have followed Ted Haggard's path?

Consenting Adults=None of my business

When a person who seeks the authority to pass laws that restrict other people's behavior and gains that authority by building a powerbase built primarily on vilifying people by very specifically claiming he cares what consenting adults do... then he should be hammered should he prove to be a hypocrite.

Great situation for an ex-CIA chief/ex-president to end up.

All the time I was watching him I kept picturing him sitting there in one huge diaper. I don't know what he said, I just kept giggling.

1. Prostitution isn't that big a deal in some of the world

2. If you are going to be a nation's #1 representative, the money your husband regularly receives from foreign sources does raise some interesting questions.

Let's be honest. Clinton did as much with NAFTA and the Asian treaty to suck manufacturing out of the U.S. as either Bush. Why _should_ we assume the money Bill receives will have no influence on either the recommendations Hillary makes to Obama or the day-to-day policies she enacts toward those countries? Remember, the state department does more than stamp passports. There's a lot of business that gets negotiated.

We're just saying it'd be galling to be questioned by a guy who rose to power on a family-values platform, even though he has a penchant for cheating on his wife, wearing diapers with a hooker.

I have more respect for the hooker, frankly than Vitter or Hillary.

For Christs sake where the heck have you been living? Under a rock? It's NOT the prostitution that's the issue!!! It's the hypocracy!!! Well that and the diapers.

And as to NAFTA.... that bill was passed by the US Congress with a veto proof majority mainly thanks to Republican support. Yeah Bill supported it too but he didn't foster it upon the American people, the Republican Congress did that!

"Whenever I see some little diaper wearing toady like David Vitter get all filled with righteous indignation..."

I do so hope that's the only thing his diaper's filled with.


Diabolus est Deus Inversus

And continued throughout this nasty, freaky hypocrite's bullshit diatribe.

Call his hypocritical bluff by a direct challenge--something like given your recent experiences with diapers and illegal prostitution you have some nerve lecturing me on morality. Maybe you should get your own house in order David, before you dare to criticize others.

Really, I have no idea why we have to be polite and deferential to brazen buffoons who make our government a laughingstock with their bizarre actions. Morons like Vitter should be called out on a regular basis.


"We will find fulfillment not in the goods that we have, but in the good we can do for each other."

Robert F. Kennedy

If ever time that Vitter opened his mouth in the Senate someone responded with a "Don't get your diapers in a bunch David!" that would indeed be right and proper.

maybe it's just because I've been able to follow his career so closely - I lived eight blocks from the hypocrite when he first ran for public office (in the infamous David Duke district of Louisiana just outside of New Orleans) - or maybe it's just because he's simply more sickening than the rest. But being forced to watch this human turd grill somebody who's endured as much as Hillary Clinton has in both her personal and political lives - and come out of them with her dignity well in tact - is pure torture. Not that I'm counting on the small-minded, Rush Limbaugh-loving a-holes of my district to fulfill my dreams, but I am holding out hope that Vitter gets swept out of office come next election.
