More On Republican Hypocrisy

This past June 21, a letter was sent to the Chairman and the Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee. In that letter, this paragraph appeared:
Abstinence education is a public health strategy focused on risk avoidence that aims to help young people avoid exposure to harm. These programs have been shown to effectively reduce the risks of out-of-wedlock pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases by teaching teenagers that saving sex until marriage and remaining faithful afterwards is the best choice for health and happiness. [emphasis added]
I bet you're wondering who wrote (or at least signed) the letter. I'll give you a hint. Here's where the letter's found.

Yes, it was Senator David Vitter. The same David Vitter mentioned in this AP news article:
A former New Orleans prostitute who will be featured in Larry Flynt's Hustler magazine appeared at his office Tuesday to accuse Sen. David Vitter of having a sexual relationship with her in 1999. Wendy Ellis told reporters that Vitter visited her two to three times a week for sexual relations between July and November 1999.
For the record, Vitter has denied the claims and no evidence (financial records, photos etc) was produced at the press conference.

Please note that this prostitute is from New Orleans. Senator Vitter already apologised for a "serious sin" when his phone number was discovered in connection to a Washington DC madam. Different city, different prostitute.

But this isn't the first time we've heard about Wendy Ellis, who worked under the name Wendy Cortez. Take a look at this. It's from March of 2004:

For the first time, Congressman David Vitter has spoken out publically about allegations that he had an 11-month affair with a known prostitute named Wendy Cortez.

On WSMB radio last Saturday, a caller who identified himself as Elwood asked Vitter about charges made by a member of the Louisiana Republican State Central Committee in the Weekly that the then-State Representative had had an affair with a known prostitute in the French Quarter.

Elwood said, "Would you be willing to sign an affidavit that you have never known, met or had relations with one Wendy Cortez?"

Vitter responded, "I think you know that that allegation is absolutely and completely untrue...I have said that on numerous occasions...I'll say that in any forum...Unfortunately, that's just crass Louisiana politics, now that I am running for the Senate. I have made that clear that it is all completely untrue...And, it's obviously politically motivated."

Congressman Vitter had previously refused any comment on the charges. The story appeared in this newspaper just days after Vitter dropped out of the race for governor in June of 2002. The Louisiana Weekly published allegations that Cortez, a known prostitute, claimed that she had an 11-month affair with Vitter, a state representative at the time.

What did we learn from this article? That the charge had been made in 2004 by a member of the Louisiana Republican State Central Committee and that this story's been known since at least June of 2002.

So much for Vitter's personal hypocrisy. I do want to remind everyone what when David Vitter returned to DC in mid-July, he was invited to apologize to the Senate Republicans in a closed luncheon.

What happned then?

The Senators from God's Own Party welcomed him back with a standing ovation.

More Republican Hypocrisy.

  1. Vitter is as venal as they come. He even made sure this whore had the same first name as his wife, so that he'd be less likely to scream out the wrong thing during "heat of passion."

    He, and his political enablers, the venerable BrabenderCox, based his entire Senate ad campaign around the Vitter children...in a decided effort to deflect from his well-known...straying.

    My guess is that the entire event has actually helped him in Louisiana, where the average IQ is down around 90...

  2. This came up in a conversation I was having recently. I really don't understand the right-wing and their repressed sexual desires. Somehow, they think God thinks sex is bad. But then why do some, many?, people uncontrollably use his name--without thought or premeditation--during sex? It makes no sense. Maybe God really doesn't care about sex, and all the writings about it in the Bible were reflective of a political era when the Christians needed to be opposed to Nero and his immoral ways. Just a thought.

  3. At least Vitter's having sex. I have to assume that the only action the right-wing trolls that visit this blog get is with blow-up dolls, and even that likely takes a triple dose of Viva Viagra.

  4. Hey, Whigs! Cool it with the sex-toy stuff about the trolls. Just because they disagree with us and can't even do that very skillfully does not mean that they're impotent perverts.

    Besides, I don't think they even make male blow-up dolls.

  5. John K. says: Can't believe you ran an article on Republican hypocrisy? After Sen. Clinton had to give back $850,000 in campaign contributions and then we have Norman Hsu (which is really funny) and don't forget the New Jersey 11. But Norman Hsu is the man. Even gave to our Gov., who had no idea he was a convicted felon on the lam, money to use for defeating evil Republicans. Keep an eye on this guy he may go on the lam again. Unless the Clinton's can spring him.

  7. John K. says: I am stunned you liberals would sell out your principles for a short term laugh. You lefties hate the idea of people in your bedrooms. You also hate the idea of having your sexual orientation being outed to the public. And since when did sex become a matter for public consumption? Those are your principles.
    And yet there you are selling out your principles to make a short term joke of Sen. Vitter. This makes no sense.
    Especially since the moral arbitrator of the Democrat party is non other Larry Flynt himself.
    So I guess you really do want the public peaking thru the curtains to observe the sexual activity of your neighbors. Well Larry Flynt does this anyway.
    Hey shitrock, Iam glad to see you view this blog as much of a joke as I do. Good to see you laughing so much and enjoying life. My mission is accomplished, I got a liberal to laugh rather than live in despair.

  8. I have a question maybe someone knows the answer or can find out. I was listening to Kevin Miller the other week to see what his show was like, anyhow someone asked him if he served in the military. He answered yeah but didn't go into any detail and it kind of wasn't a convincing yeah. Therefore curious I checked on Wikipedia to see if there was any info on him. Born in 1968, graduated Univ. Akron 1993 became a teacher right after graduating teaching social studies.Started his radio career 1996 in New Hampshire.Moved onto two or three radio stations before coming here. My question is how did he fit military service in these time periods, or is he in the ultimate chickenhawk category and lied about serving?

    Hey John: Great! That means I accomplished two missions: I managed to get a Wingnut Chickenhawk to make a fool of himself over and over and over. And I apparently persuaded him to come back and do it again!

    Please don't go away now that you have "accomplished your mission." This blog just wouldn't be the same without your inanity.

  11. John K. says: Hey shitrock, its getting dark. Shouldn't you be out looking into the bedrooms of people to see what type of dirt you can find? Man, I have never seen so many liberal heroes. Never knew they all hung out in chat. Do they give medals for all you liberals who like to talk about war in chat or what? Can I get in on that? LOL
    Remember lefties and all you liberal military chat heroes, Sen. Clinton did not disavow the NY Times. So one more time before Shitrock has to go on his peeping tom tour, tell us how you guys support the military.
    So one more time hypocrites, let's here it for Norman Hsu and Gov McGreevey! LOL
