Anti Gambling Senator number on escort service list

[Uglyowl]

Sen. David Vitter, R-La., apologized Monday night for "a very serious sin in my past" after his telephone number appeared among those associated with an escort service operated by the so-called "D.C. Madam."

What a bunch of frauds, this guy need to go

[Ron Burgundy]

Fraud? I don't see any evidence of that. He cheated on his wife, so what? What does that have to do with internet gambling?

Yeah, he's a phony religious fundamentalist douche, but getting a massage with a happy ending is not a reason to be kicked out of office.

If Paul or Frank or Wexler's name shows up on the list, would you call them frauds too?

Let's stick to the issues. Using this as an excuse to get rid of anti-gambling politicians is stooping to their level of sleaze and dishonesty.

By "fraud", I think he meant "hypocrite".

[Uglyowl]

I am not saying he should be kicked out of office, but voted out, absolutely. When you run as a ‘family values” conservative than damn right you should be booted out on the street by the voters you betrayed. Maybe I am stooping, I don’t know, but I am pissed off beyond belief at these phonies.

These ultra conservative zealots spout family values over and over and over again why certain activities need to be outlawed by the government because they ruin families. I can’t think of a single activity that is more harmful to the family structure and more “anti family values” than paying for sexual favors from an escort service.

[TheEngineer]

I agree with both of you. I don't think a politician should necessarily be booted JUST for a massage with a happy ending. That would be between him and his wife. However, in running on a holier-than-thou platform, this particular guy made promises to the voters that he failed to keep. That's the basis for the boot, I think. The hypocricy is the issue.

Upon reflection, maybe this isn't the place to post this rant as it only deals with poker legislation a little, although it is a big story that everyone should be aware. I apoligize, these stories get me riled up and there are much more important things to discuss on this board.

Maybe down the road, when this guy is up for reelection, then will be the time. He is not our "friend".

Vitter looks like a candidate for being "leached" out of office. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

By the way, what he did is illegal!

Karma sucks. See Clinton for reference.
