Sometimes when people pretend to be super-righteous in public they turn out to have a secret side – a double of all the things they have repressed and projected outwards in hatred of others. It’s a common phenom. I wonder why it so often takes a sexual flavor… Perhaps it’s a side-effect of the obsession the religious right has with sexuality in general?<\/p>\n

Right-wing Republican Senator David Vitter is going back to Washington, to pretend nothing has happened. <\/p>\n

He was one of the people – of course he was – who called for Clinton’s resignation for having an extramarital affair (an affair, not sex for money).<\/p>\n

Hey, isn’t going to prostitutes actually illegal? Where’s the arrest?<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, his favorite prostitute shared the name of his wife – “Wendy<\/a>” – Peter Pan, anyone? <\/p>\n

U.S. Senator David Vitter visited a Canal Street brothel several times beginning in the mid-1990s, paying $300 per hour for services at the bordello after he met the madam at a fishing rodeo that included prostitutes and other politicians, according to Jeanette Maier, the “Canal Street Madam” whose operation was shut down by a federal investigators in 2001.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

See their video statement, in which Wendy invokes both church and children in an effort to call off the press. Hey, that’s the price you pay as a public figure involved in a sex scandal.<\/p>\n

\"David<\/p>\n

Lame. And slimy. And predictable.<\/p>\n

I’m looking at his wife. And I’m not saying anything. <\/p>\n

I’m saying nothing at all. I’m specifically<\/em> not asking how they met. <\/p>\n

I’m definitely not<\/em> implying anything about her own background, especially not based on something so superficial as her appearance.<\/p>\n

Or her choice of a dress<\/strong> for this particular occasion. <\/p>\n

I see nothing. I hear nothing. Nothing. Just call me Sargent Schultz<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
