That reflects on you.
I agree with your opinion of me. It takes more than a recylcled hit piece from the Drive-By Media about a ten-year-old fling with a whore to make me turn on one of my conservative heroes. Only three weeks ago, Vitter was hailed as a hero here on FR after his leadership on the amnesty bill.
Conversely, in my opinion, it reflects badly upon you that you turn on our friends at the first whiff of gunpowder.
Ditto.
Ditto again!
COMMENT:
Go ahead and use it all you want.
I got it from an old man who worked with me on an oilfield roustabout crew.
He would say “Jimmy Goobers Carter and Democrat leadership is a lot like nuthin and nuthin is equal to a turd with all the sh!t scraped off’.
They are trying to pressure him into resigning while that pathetic pile of mindless goo is still governor and can appoint a rat in his place.

After signing off the computer earlier today, a thought crossed my mind. Is this whole thing a setup?
According to the article, Palfrey set up "shop" in 1993. Was it just a coincidence that she came to Washington shortly after Clinton?
Before you break out your tin foil hat, just think for a minute. Bill and Hill have used the FBI records as blackmail. Why can't a madam use phone records to blackmail politicians (and bureaucrats) in Washington?
If you notice, the madam has phone records. NOT of who called HER, but rather who SHE called. IIRC, she has a list of several thousand phone numbers. She could have just gone through the DC phone book and got the numbers of all these people, and began calling them. Probably most hung up on her - but unfortunately for them, there is now "public record" of them communicating with a madam.
On a related theory, perhaps Vitter, who was new to Washington in 1999. This was around the time of Monica. I wouldn't be surprised if Vitter, who was living in DC while the rest of his family was in Louisiana, got bored and lonely.
Who's to say that Vitter wasn't invited to a cocktail party to meet some "movers and shakers" in Washington. It was a mixed crowd with lots of good looking women around (Palfrey's employees). It doesn't take much to get Vitter's name, look up his phone number and give him a call. Later, Palfrey would call Vitter and inform him that the party that he attended was full of Hookers...and that his wife wouldn't be to happy.
Its possible that this whole thing could be a very subtle form of blackmail that has been going on for years - until Palfrey got arrested.
