Senator's Number on Escort Service List

Anyone else? Since the numbers are now being posted I wonder how many press offices are now in overdrive to make statements like Vitter? Or how many law offices are actively working to either suppress the list again or prepare defamation lawsuits...

And after his wife's comments in 2000 he might want to consider wearing a cup to bed:

In 2000, Vitter was included in a Newhouse News Service story about the strain of congressional careers on families.

His wife, Wendy, was asked by the Newhouse reporter: If her husband were as unfaithful as Livingston or former President Bill Clinton, would she be as forgiving as Hillary Rodham Clinton?

“I’m a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary,” Wendy Vitter told Newhouse News. “If he does something like that, I’m walking away with one thing, and it’s not alimony, trust me.”

“I think fear is a very good motivating factor in a marriage,” she added. “Don’t put fear down.”

He said he's made peace with his wife but I think he's probably lost a piece as well.

Rumor was Cheney was on the list, back when he was CEO of Haliburton.

I've tried to look at the website for the numbers but it is down no doubt to traffic. I'm hoping some are home numbers rather than cell so I can do some research.

Just another example of how voyeuristic and pathetic our society has become. Why is this news? This garbage wouldn't even register in the other industrialized Western nations.

I agree to a point with you Hat. But it is news in the sense that I prefer my elected officials be trustworthy people, if a man can't keep a committment to his wife I don't know why I would then expect him to represent me in an honest fashion or put my interests over his own. If he were single, I really would not care. But he is not and it says plenty about him.

The only person who has a vested interest in someone being faithful to their marriage is that person's spouse. The idea that marital fidelity has any relation to the execution of one's official duties is, at best, dubious.

Yes, the idea that someone can't keep a committment to supposedly the most important person in their life, reveals absolutely nothing about said person. It says plenty about their character, which is something that plays a role in how someone lives every second of their life.

I hear what you're saying, 123, but I have a slightly different take.

I worked in DC the first 3 years out of college and was on Capitol Hill most days. And I came to this conclusion: they're all untrustworthy. For my own sanity I have to assume every elected official is going to do something unscrupulous while in office. For this reason I try to base my voting decisions in elections mostly on policy, not character.

I guess an exception would be made if I believed someone's past conduct was so egregious that I thought it would seriously undermine good governance. In Vitter's case, like Clinton's, I do not. It's a story for the dog days.

Shocked Hat of all people would hand out the free pass on this one. Don't discount the whole hypocrisy angle of how this guy wishes to legislate moral issues for America and clearly lacks his own.

I agree with Hat on this. The only delight I would take is if someone who had blasted Clinton for "immoral activities" was in fact on the list.

News flash:One's personal life and professional conduct are distinctly separate things. The only thing Vitter's alleged conduct reveals is that he likes having sex with women other than his wife. Big deal.

A person lies, big deal, I am sure he would never lie in his professional dealings or misrepresent himself. Obviously, he can seperate the two facets of his life.

Where's the hypocrisy? Has he introduced legislation criminalizing adultery? If not, I see no conflict.

I don't really care about anybody's private life . . . Just don't make a convenant with God in front of a large group of people and then crap all over it and expect me to think you're a good guy. I'd have a lot more respect for him if he'd just remained single and run wild all over town.

Yeah, guys who are faithful to their wife never betray the public trust.

Don't think anyone said that never happens. But Vitter, if this is true, has revealed plenty about himself. I bet he likes money as well, but I am sure he would never take a bribe. He is stronger than that, I am sure.
