A Hard Knock Life

It happens with disturbing frequency these days that we learn that a champion of social conservatives leads a life straight out of a Snoop Dogg video.

It is now reported that before Senator David Vitter went to Washington, he frequented a brothel closer to home, in New Orleans .  The madam of that brothel referred to him as one of her “nicest and most honorable” johns.  No word yet on whether the Senator’s wife shares that opinion.  The Senator’s career has been built primarily on his image as a family values social conservative, who has spent his entire career campaigning for office claiming he led a squeaky-clean personal life, and regularly attacking the moral lapses of his political opponents.

The Senator said that he had used the Washington madam’s call-girl service before he ran for the Senate.  Since evidence is mounting that Senator Vitter goes from one prostitution ring to another, that begs the question:  What madam has he been using lately

And, to paraphrase Presidential spokesman Tony Snow, "I don't know the Louisianaian for chutzpah, but David Vitter had a giant case of it."
