From his press conference today.
Vitty-cent: "I am completely responsible." For what? Tell us. No way in hell he resigns.
I still say that whenever he mentions "Wendy", someone interrupts him and asks for clarification: "Wendy, your wife; or Wendy, your ho"?
"I'm not going to answer endless questions over and over again." Fine: just answer them one time. And quit lying.
Wendy (his wife, not his ho), proves she's as much of a liar as he is.
"I'm proud to be [dramatic pause...] Wendy Cortez Vitter."
Sorry, Wendy. If you didn't want the media hanging around, then you shouldn't have become public citizens. Jeez, you goobers, if you don't want your life to be public, then don't become a public figure.
Want to see how public? Since he didn't do the honorable thing and resign, why don't you see the whole Vitter clan at http://vitter.org? There's pictures a plenty, so you can see more of Vitter family values in action.
The spin has only begun for David and Wendy (and Wendy).
Sweet Jesus, did they have to drape their blinding whiteness in head-to-toe white?

All except for David. He's in blue, because he's impure.

So no bobbit for vitter? How disappointing

Wendy Cortez-Vitter just made it worse. It's one thing to have your husband play the 'Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?' trick on you. It's a whole other thing to try and pull the same trick on the entire public.
I don't care where anybody puts their winky as long as it doesn't hurt anybody but Vitter was asked point blank about it while he was Rep. Vitter and he flat lied to the voters. Isn't lying a sin too? Did I miss where he asked for forgiveness for lying to the Louisiana public?

Uhh, it ain't the lyin' necessarily, it's the illegal act of paying for sex that is what's wrong here.
And, as David asks, which dollars were used for the dirty - Diaper Dave's own or the taxpayers' ?

I suppose it's possible that somebody was paying for all this for vitter, but the argument that Wendy is too much of an eagle-eye with the check balancing just doesn't wash. Vitter's net worth is between $750K to $2.8mil:

and he's a US Senator who travels all the time, has lots of expenses, etc, so being able to squirrel away the cash for a couple of $300-an-hour sessions every month would be a no-brainer.

I want Vitter in my Star Court... he has harmed many folk, especially mine, and it's my turn to ask the questions.

This guy needs to go. Preaching morality and running for office on a platform of family values while slutting with prostitutes is no way for a U.S. Senator to conduct his life. It was more than a sin. It was illegal!
Sign the petition demanding he resign.
