If Bayou voters like Edwin Edwards, then Vitter’s Senatorial discretions won’t matter much.
As Edwards himself pointed out, regarding LA voters, you’d have to be caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy to get tossed out of office. It’s 3 1/2 years until he’s up for reelection, and it’ll be a very distant issue by then (that is, unless they reveal he has a chronic problem with visting prostitutes). But it is quite convenient the media would choose to out a prominent anti-shamnesty Republican. Vitter obviously screwed up (and quite probably should’ve held a press conference of his own accord and acknowledged the accusations — since having them hang over his head could leave him open to political blackmail), but as the Madam herself revealed, this IS a media/Democrat effort to attack Republicans.
Let’s see how forthcoming they are with names of rodent and media clients, because as we all know, they’re all such chaste, loyal, and honorable types who would never screw others.
