If Senate Dems want to play hardball, they'll start whispering -- today -- about whether Vitter's various scandals should force him to resign.

Whisper? Whimper will be more like it...

Once again a conservative is a victim of MSM gotcha journalism.

And Senator Vitter cries out, "Thank you, LeBron".

pack your diapers, david. You're done.

A Vitter re-election would very much reflect poorly upon the electorate of the great state of Louisiana! This election cycle is a voters be blamed moment yet again in our nation's political history!

Vitter's campaign might as well embrace such slogans as Ignorance is Strength and Freedom is (sex)Slavery! -Kevo

It's hardly surprising that Vitter lied; as we all know, lying has been at the core of GOP electoral strategy for years.

Did I mention that Vitter is a dick?

"If Senate Dems want to play hardball . . ." Fat chance. They wouldn't want to embarrass one of their club.

David Vitter could be videotaped having carnal relations with a goat, and it wouldn't matter. All he has to do is assert his belief in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and a majority of the good citizens of Louisiana will dutifully pull the lever for him come election day because he's such a good Christian man.

Originally posted to the wrong column so I repeat:
Don't be silly. Furer was in charge of women's issues to tell women exactly where their place is, exactly what to do and exactly how to change Vitter's diapers.

And what do you think you will get if Vitter resigns or is forced out?

This is Louisiana....where the President is trying to force a moratorium on offshore drilling, the source of a big chunk of the state's employment in ways that ripple through the economy. The President may be right philosophically in wanting to get a thorough review of procedures for offshore drilling and regulation, but politically it is a killer.

This is Louisiana.....home of lots of really really right wing whack jobs.

You force an election or a replacement and chances are you are going to get something worse......like Bobby Jindal.

"There's evidence to suggest Vitter was lying."
I.e., his mouth was open and words were coming out.

That fact that Vitter is still seen as an electable candidate in republican circles just goes to show you how morally bankrupt 'conservatism' really is.

Team Vitter: The Shitter and the Hitter.

Sorry guys, if Vitter wasn't brought down by the call girls/diaper scandal, he ain't going anywhere but back to DC next January.

Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) has largely hidden from journalists lately, but answered some questions yesterday, in a media availability that lasted less than two minutes.

Is that Vitter's wife sitting awkwardly on his side? Vitter is indeed worried about his family value cred if he's pulling out the wifey to sit there all nice like some kind of ventriloquist doll.

If Senate Dems want to play hardball

If.

Just wait until reports of what other things Furer was doing for Vitter start leaking out. That's when the calls for resignation will come.

Yeah whisper...hey whatever happened to Ensign???

He sounds like the perfect guy for a Republican to assign to women's issues. After all, family values to them means keeping the women folk in their place and how better to do that than threatening to kill them when they get sassy?

Where have you been? "The issue has been completely misreported" as code for "stop asking questions, right now" is hardly new.

kevo: A Vitter re-election would very much reflect poorly upon the electorate of the great state of Louisiana!

The entire 20th century reflects poorly upon the electorate of the great state of Louisiana. Re-electing Vitter adds an exclamation mark but wouldn't really change anything. Louisianans admire crooks and scumbags.

Come on, Sen Vitter being rejected by Louisiana voters is fantasy.

This is the state in which governor Earl Long, during a manic episode, shacked up with a stripper and was taken to a state hospital where he fired the hospital director, called in the state police and then went back to his honey - all the time still acting as governor. He won the Democratic nomination for Congress (meaning he was going to Congress) after that but died of a heart attack before the election.

This is the state that nominated David Duke for governor and elected Edwin Edwards (who was indicted under federal charges) in the same election.

David Vitter doesn't even come close to those credentials.

Leave it to republicans to hire an aid named "fuhrer", and to put together a "dick army". The jokes write themselves.

"If Senate Dems want to play hardball . . . ."

I assume that's an attempt at humor.

Why would anyone be surprised? He is too busy sleeping with hookers to understand what his own campaign workers are doing outside the office.
