Vitter's number on D.C. madam's list

From staff, wire reports

WASHINGTON _ Sen. David Vitter, R-La., apologized Monday night for "a very serious sin in my past" after his telephone number appeared among those associated with an escort service operated by the so-called "D.C. Madam."

SNIP…

"This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible," Vitter said in the statement. "Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there -- with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way."

SNIP…

Earlier this year Palfrey, 51, of Vallejo, Calif., asked the Supreme Court to delay the criminal case against her -- a request the court denied in May. Her attorney had argued that it was unfair to proceed against Palfrey because her assets remain seized in a civil forfeiture case, meaning she lacks the money to hire an attorney of her choice.

SNIP…

Vitter was among the first members of Congress to endorse former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani for president fueling speculation that the senator was angling for a vice presidential bid. Pinsonat said that Vitter's acknowledgement of a "serious sin" snuffs out any hope he may have had about being on a national Republican presidential ticket.

But wait, Vitter gets wetter, er, bitter, em, better!



Vitter had five calls with D.C. Madam

Calls began soon after he was sworn in, ended on Mardi Gras 2001.

Washington bureau

A phone number for Sen. David Vitter, R-La., appears at least five times in the billing records of what federal authorities say was a Washington call-girl operation, the first just four months after he was sworn in to the U.S. House in 1999 and the last on Mardi Gras of 2001.

Under pressure earlier this week, Vitter acknowledged committing a "very serious sin" and that his number showed up in the records of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, who has come to be known as the "Washington, D.C. Madam." An attorney for Palfrey earlier said that Vitter's number was found once in the records, but a search of the documents by The Times-Picayune turned up four more calls to a number once registered to Vitter. The attorney said that clients also used phones in hotel rooms, so that not all the numbers can be traced to individual callers.

The records show that Vitter number was called by Palfrey's service beginning Oct. 12, 1999 and ending Feb. 27, 2001, which was Mardi Gras. Palfrey has said she was running an escort service that her employees were instructed not to engage in sex acts. But federal prosecutors say she was running a prostitution ring that netted more than $2 million in assets.

SNIP…

Vitter has limited his public statements to a contrite press release Monday night in which he said, "Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling."

And very, very bad.



She was "driven" to suicide. Right.



Read ‘D.C. Madam’ Deborah Jeane Palfrey’s Suicide Note

by Ken Layne
WASHINGTON
Wonkette
1:40 pm May 5, 2008

Making a sadder story just a little bit sadder still, today the cops have revealed D.C. Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey’s suicide note. Instead of blowing the lid of Dick Cheney’s particular perversions or David Vitter’s favorite style of Depends (logo of Elmo in wheelchair, masturbating), the two-page note is a heartbreakingly dull list of trivialities in grade-school girlish handwriting.

Palfrey has one page just for the police or medics: “DO NOT REVIVE (DNR),” it says, a command often seen on the refrigerators of elderly or terminally ill people who don’t want their lives artificially dragged out. And because her life ended in Florida, there was a special message for Florida’s Republican legislators and their beloved feeding tubes, in case the hanging wasn’t completely successful: “DO NOT FEED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.”

SNIP…

The other page is a note to her mother, including minutia about settling debts from a Bank of America account and Palfrey’s expectation that she would emerge from prison six or eight years from now “a broken, penniless and very much alone woman.” Palfrey assumed her mom would be dead by then.

I've got to ask why a good Democrat with the backbone to stand up to Clarence Thomas and the BFEE has to leave the U.S. House of Representatives and why David Vitter – now a Senator, no less, who pays people to literally get shit on – gets to keep his job?

2. When fellahs have to find someone for ''Huggies,'' it's not ''on the house.''
People pay Big Time.

James Jesus Angleton is alleged to have shown J Edgar Hoover an interesting 8 X 10 glossy starring the Director and his Number 1, Clyde Tolson.

Thereupon, whatever their dispute was, Hoover and Angleton came to an agreement.

3. Why isn't that little black book rumored to contain the number of a certain Dick?
I seem to remember that going around just before the madam became a cadiver.

7. Big Time was mentioned for a while, then the story 'died'...
From DU, something I wished I had seen then:

The Palfrey-Cheney Connection

Excellent links here:

Here's a dandy resource.

Perhaps Lord Cheney used a pseudonym.

Too bad there wasn't time for Ms. Palfrey to write a book.

4. How... how do the republicans continue to get away with it...
While everyone from Ted Kennedy to Bill Clinton and now Anthony Weiner feel the wrath of the GOP sex machine? I do not get it. :crazy:

9. Money, perhaps coupled with fear of sudden violence, might do the trick.
The rightwing even manages to sullen the reputation of the departed Liberals.

IN KENNEDY'S SHADOWS - SEYMOUR HERSH DIGS UP TALES FROM `THE DARK SIDE OF CAMELOT'

EXCERPT...

In his headlong rush to expose Kennedy, Hersh can't be bothered with basic questions. If the Kennedy clan cut a Faustian bargain with the mob, how then do we explain Robert Kennedy's monomaniacal prosecution of organized crime figures once he became attorney general? If John Kennedy was willing to risk all in a macho showdown with Khrushchev, why do the newly published transcripts of White House tapes give us a Kennedy admirable in his restraint while those around him lost their composure? Hersh can't be expected to reply to evidence he had no opportunity to examine. But his book teems with questions he apparently did not ask, let alone try to answer.

And I think the world of Sy...

5. She was asked not long before she died whether or not she
would ever commit suicide. She said absolutely not and wanted people to know that.

But she did! And that was the end of the story! :eyes:

10. The government confiscated her assets, preventing her from hiring bodyguards...
...as well as lawyers.

Even if she had to go to jail, Ms. Palfrey had a lot to live for:

$313,836.31 from one Charles Schwab Funds and Stock Investment accounts.
$36,458.67 in another fund account at Charles Schwab.
$61,793.59 from one Charles Schwab Funds and Stock Investment accounts.
$4,055.68 from one Wells Fargo Account.
$9,340.67 from one Wells Fargo Account.
413 South African Gold Krugerrands.
81 U.S. Liberty $50 Gold Coins.
320 U.S. Liberty $1 Silver Coins.
61 Canadian $50 Gold Coins.

Two pieces of property and/or homes in California:
Capitol Street Property valued at approximately $495,000.00.
Vaquero Glen Property valued at $480,000.00.

Then let’s not forget the computers and most importantly that “client list of whose who in Washington D.C.” , although referred to in the seizure warrant as; “phone contact book including appointment schedule, expandable folders in 5 colors with “profiles contained within”, and appointment books, binder of notes of men for Escort Service. All confiscated by the government to “hold” while the D. C. Madam was tried and convicted, and then the loot could be forfeited to the government, oh how sweet huh? Not to mention those entire customers name protected by the government so they would not be hurt, you have to love Uncle Sam, always taking care of its own.

12. Thanks, Octafish, I think I remember her saying that she was
scared. And she wanted people to know she was not going to kill herself.

I'm sure there was a great sigh of relief among certain people after she died.

13. Diaperman David Vitter Likes His Diapers
From Wonkette:

When Republican Senator David Vitter rented prostitutes back home in New Orleans, there was “more than sex” — he liked the hookers to make him wear diapers. And that makes this campaign ad dug up by Talking Points Memo all the more hilarious and disgusting.

DC Madam's Client List: Bad News for Bushies

Tuesday, May 01, 2007

The so-called DC Madam's list of clients includes "a Bush administration economist, the head of a conservative think tank, a prominent CEO, several lobbyists and a handful of military officials," teases The Blotter over at ABC News.

Earlier today Jeane Palfrey told reporters that “she does not know how many people will be outed by ABC, which is planning to air a report Friday on its ‘20/20′ newsmagazine.”

SOURCE: http://guerillawomentn.blogspot.com/2007/04/dc-madams-client-list-bad-news-for.html



So, bottom line heh for Vitter and the rest of the turds: Today's press corpse is paid to misinvestigate and find no evidence of GOP-connected wrongdoing and certainly no evil among the global economic elite.

ABC and the Rise of Rush Limbaugh

Sam Donaldson asked the Gippet an inconvenient question and "Poof!" he was gone. Jeane Palfrey makes an inconvenient allegation to reporters and "Poof!" she was gone.

It was like magic.

But there's no way I will ever forget David Vitter's diaper escapades. Thanks for the refresher.

David Vitter Now Pooping In Ladies’ Underwear

by Ken Layne
4:26 pm November 24, 2009

Louisiana sex creep David “Diaperman” Vitter is known for one thing, and one thing only: Hiring hookers and then making those hookers put adult diapers on him, so he can poop in the diapers, for sex kicks. He has been caught employing prostitutes at least twice, in New Orleans and in Washington DC — his number found in the client phone records of the since-suicided “DC Madam,” in the latter case. He is a gross scumbag and a human joke, and guess where serious Congressional Journalistic Institution Roll Call found him fondling ladies’ lingerie and looking “a bit lost,” because he was about to spurt/poop?

SNIP...

Here, the official gossip from Roll Call:
    Just hours before casting his health care vote, the sex-scandal-scarred Louisiana Republican looked “a bit lost” amid the ladies’ unmentionables, our spy said. Our witty, bargain-seeking HOH tipster mused on a few reasons that the Senator might be there.

    “Is he looking for some ‘extra support’ for tonight’s big health care floor vote or is he up to his old habits?” the spy wondered.
Look, even a criminal douche like David Diaperman Vitter must occasionally feel a vague “emotion” in some ways similar to our human sense of shame, and maybe he just can’t get off these days by having a hooker dress him up like an infant so he can shit in a Depends. Maybe this dingleberry thinks his pathetic attempts to act like Mr. Conservative Firebrand will be more “real” if he could somehow stop his crippling addiction to poo play.

CONTINUED (with links and somewhat hilarious and grotesque imagery)...http://wonkette.com/412391/david-vitter-now-pooping-in-ladies-underwear



Vitter in a diaper is one thing...but in ladies' thongs? C'mon Louisiana, wake up!
