Much like you, Professor Sadow, are trying to divert attention from Vitter's personal ethical problems and hypocrisy by dismissing them and actually crying foul over Vitter's failure to ever say exactly what his "sin" might have been. Could it be that if he had ever said what that sin was it would have been admitting to a crime. Maybe he was just calling the prostitute to ask her how her day was going.<br /><br />A rather funny case of the pot calling the kettle black.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214951.post-34853347670962519882009-10-06T15:34:46.315-05:002009-10-06T15:34:46.315-05:00Vitter smears himself by pandering to his constitu...Vitter smears himself by pandering to his constituents. <br /><br />Take, for example, his resolution to the effect that members of Congress be forced to join any public insurance option that results from a new health care bill. His stated reasoning was that members of Congress should be treated like everyone else by the bill. Guess what? They already were! Members of Congress were not exempted from any of the bills' provisions. In the versions of the bill that had public options, no one would have been forced to take the public option. Vitter's impeccable logic, then, was that in order for members of Congress to be treated like everybody else, we should treat them differently than we treat ANYBODY else. Pure genius. Pure nonsense.<br /><br />Vitter doesn't think his constituents are smart enough to realize he made a completely illogical resolution just to pander to them. let's hope he's wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
