Vitter fathered an illegitimate child? (from Kos, 2004)

The irony is that Vitter dropped out of that governor's race last year because of an affair with a prostitute and has an illegitimate child with another woman. No big scoop -- this is all out in the open and well-known in the state, yet Vitter is still running on a "family values" platform and obviously getting away with it.

1. "well known in the state..." K*R

By people who vote for him. What a jaded political stance, although it helps now days.

This Vitter is a bad pony, not worth a bet.

2. I wish it could be called "illegitimately fathered a child" instead.

No child is (imho) 'illegitimate.' All children are born lovable and capable and with inherent human rights. Further, I don't regard "bastard" to be a condition of birth - I consider it a condition of conscience. (Yes, I know what the dictionary says.)

I clicked on to make the same point, that no child is illegitimate.
