Rant of the Day: The Vitters Should Apologize to the Clintons
David Vitter -- before he got caught having an affair with a prostitute -- said that Bill Clinton was "morally unfit to govern." Does the conservative, Republican Senator from Louisiana now feel the same way about his own adultery (and many years of subsequent cover-ups)? Or would he like to apologize to Bill Clinton for what he said?
He also said that President Clinton should resign because of the "mess" he's created. Does he feel the same way about his own mess?
I think anyone in the state of Louisiana would be crazy to vote for a gigantic hypocrite like Senator Vitter, unless he admits that he has changed his ways and now understands that people's private lives are their own business and that he should have never commented on Bill Clinton's sexual relationships or his cover up of it, since was guilty of the same thing at the same time. We're waiting.
Senator Vitter's wife also felt quite self-proud at the time of the Clinton affair. She said back then, "I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary [Clinton]. If he does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me."
Trust me? Interesting. Is Mrs. Vitter planning any staff cuts around the senator's office?
No, it looks like she forgave him after all the tough talk. It looks like judging people is a little harder when the shoe is on the other foot. So, will Wendy Vitter be apologizing to Hillary Clinton for implying she was weak for not ending her marriage or cutting off her husband's genitalia? Which one is it, will Mrs. Vitter follow through on her tough talk or apologize to Senator Clinton for running off her mouth about the Clinton's private affairs? We're waiting.

46. Did you get paid for this waste of time you call an article? If you want to bash Vitter, then Bash Vitter. There's no issue of an apology to Clinton. Why? He still hasn't apologized for looking the american people in the eye and lying. They're all liars, are you just finally realizing that?

47. As a registered Dem. who has voted Rep. since 76. I have to agree that there is hypocrasy on both sides of the aisle. This Vitter needs to resign. To David S. Bill Clinton was accused of rape by a woman named Juanita something from Ark. If I recall one of the networks did a one hour special on this charge. I do remember that she should have been believed by the Dems just like they believed the charges leveled by Anita Hill. Wasn't Bill Clinton disbarred in Ark.? The outrage demonstrated by both parties is laughable. It is funny to watch them get upset about certain things that the other party does and then they turn around and do the very same thing.

48. So far the conservative raving maniacs of AOL blogs have proven true to form. Don't hate on Clinton because he is charming and persuasive enought to get it for free, unlike Vitter whose vile and annoying hipocracy requires him to pay for it. Last time, I check, one is legal while the other is only legal in Nevada. And which do you think was safer? A blow job from an intern or sex with prostitutes. As for Wendy Vitter who like Hilary is standing by her man, she should cut it off if she truly wants to be a woman of her word.

49. Dear Mr. Robert Bynham,
Are you kidding??? Who is sticking to whom's lies here??? I don't know any democrat that was not angry and disapointed with Bill Clinton's lies. It was ver upseting and disgusting. Hi's wife staying by his side is her business not yours not mine, certainly not Mrs. Vitters!!! Just how stupid do you think she feels now??? And yes his lies.. the one under oath was about sex!! You may not like that, but that's the way it is!! He should have never lied under oath. He simply should have told the moral family values (what a laught) party to mind their own business and stay out of his life. Just like papa Bush did, when his sex life was in question!!
Look at what the bush kids lies are costing us now. Are you okay with these set of lies??? We have almost 4000 of our brave troops because George the king's lies. That makes you feel good about the republicans??? Makes me sick!!
And Rape, Mr. Robert Byngham??? Now I know you think all democrats or lefties or whatever we are called these days, are stupid and ignorant. But rape??? I actually do not recall those arguments being made. It must be my ignorance.
The point here Mr.Robert Bynham, is not one of "Well.... he did it first, so why can't I???" The point here is hypocrisy at is best, or at it's worst, either way!! At the risk of offending the men on this blog... Most men are DOGS, period!! Some women are too. And if you are a man that just happens to be in the political arena...... Well, all that power just goes straight to their...... heads.
But you know, with all his indiscretions, I would take Bill back in a second!! Look at what we have now. G*D Help us!!
Oh and if what you said about republicans resigning after scandalls, well if that's the case these days who will you have left from the right???? Becasue all these scandals just seem to keep on coming!!
Peace.

50. Did Vitters have sex with a subordinate in his office? Did he grope and assault other women? Has he been accused of rape by a constituent? If so, he is not fit to govern. Sounds like he acknowledged his wrongdoing, worked to change his behavior and save his marriage and family. If you think his situation is similar to the Clintons you do not thing very logically.
You must have gone to school after they stopped developing critical thinking skills in students.

52. Nope - Mr Vitter didn't "do it" in the Oval Office...
But apparently he did it in Panty hose and diapers.
http://www.correntewire.com/vitters_madame_most_of_the_clients_who_wanted_to_be_dominated_were_republicans
"Via Andrew Sullivan, Jeanette Maier, whose small business Senator David Vitter (R-Canal Street Brothel) patronized, tells her story:
Some of the fantasies at the Canal Street Brothel got a little rough. For those who liked that kind of stuff, there were whips, chains and a lot of leather. Jeanette says that most of the clients who wanted to be dominated were Republicans. She cracks a smile, then adds, “They wanted to be spanked and tortured and wear stockings—Republicans have impeccable taste in silk stockings—and these are the people who run our country.” ...
Now isn't that just a "purdy" picture of Rethugly manhood!
Must suck to be a Rethugly...
Oh I forgot! Rethuglys are so low, they have to pay $20 to perform fellatio on someone else.

53. Well thank you so much lafn, for setting me straight. Now that I know for sure that I am ignorant, I can get on with my life. I was actually done with school long before intelligence Designed (again not too sure about my spelling),if that answers your question Mr/Ms??? lafn.
I didn't realize that there were different types of cheating on one's spouse. I always thought cheating is cheating and it's wrong!
I frankly do not remember any talk about Clinton raping women and getting away with it. We all know he has been a hound (did I spell that correctely?? I ask because besides finding out today that I'm ignorant, I have always know what a horrible speller I am!!) dog with women.
Now, if I am not mistaken I do believe that paying for a prostitute was against the law, but as ignorant as I have lived my life I may just be mistaken.
Pehaps if I could only learn to drink the Kool-aid, I may be cured of this ignorance. However, it does seem to me that if you are going to throw stones and speak againts somebody else's immorality, you should first take a damn good look at yourself.
When someone like Newt Gingrich has the balls to say the things he said about Clinton while all along he was having an affair of his own. And then to present his wife, dying of cancer in the hospital with divorce papers??? What in the hell do we call that??? Delay, where does he get off??
Oh and I almost forgot, while you brought up the subject of rape, what can you tell me about that Foley fellow and the young men in Washington??? What do we do with that man??? Another fine gentleman from the "right side of the isle.
So this Vitter guy, he cheats on his wife with prostitutes, he condemns Clinton and gays for ruining marrige. I guess my ignorance must be on fourth gear right about now, because all I can see is HYPOCRISY, LIARS AT THEIR WORST. And smart people buying into this crap!!!
But, I forgot...Vitter apologized, that's right just like Delay, they apologized to G*D!! Now it's all good. Do you know whether or not they apologized to the women in their lives??? You know the wives?
Well within in my small brain, I still maintain that if you live in a glass house and you have the gall to be such a liar and a hypocrit and to do all this things in the name of "christianity and Morality and Family Values" As stupid as I may come across to you lafn, well that's just how sad you come across to me. I really feel for you.
I wonder, when this decider fellow is done with our country and he finally goes away with his administration or partners at crime, and we have our country in ruins. Will it just take an apology from him to G*D for you to feel okay about it, and still blame Bill Clinton "the Axis of all that is evil in the right wing world".
Don't get me wrong lafn, I may be ignorant to you, but I am not naive. I know what Clinton was about. I know the ugly and bad in him, and I never approved of that. I also know the good the real good in him and I totally approved of that!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I want to thank you again for setting me straight. But I think I like who I am. I think I will continue to think and belive the way I want to. And I will stay away from the kool-aid no matter what!!
Peace

54. Quite simple: Vitters not only broke the law he broke the code of ethics for the position he holds. He should resign and do time.
