1. Go straight to hospital. Do not pass go. How 'bout directly to jail?

Nah, what he did wasn't illegal, not if his wife forgave him. :crazy:

[Snarkoleptic]

38. A wicked case of diaper rash.

Mebbe we should send him some ointment.

[jgraz]

63. LOLOLOL!!!

:spray:

[stevedeshazer]

65. My sides are splitting

:rofl:

[SoCalDem]

89. Boudreau's Buttpaste, methinks :) (even sounds Louisianan)

[JerseygirlCT]

78. Can't even get that right. It's a tearful confession of

addiction problems, and then a stint in cushy rehab!

[chelsea0011]

2. Is he sick? I thought he was just horny.

[enid602]

meaning

He brings new meaning to the phrase 'being in a shitty mood.'

[Throwing Stones]

42. horniness is a sickness to Rethugs

That's why they feel the need to visit brothels - to hide their "shameful" urges from their god-fearing wives.

Either that, or they're just fucking douchebags.

[DFW]

105. You have to consider every angle

There might just be some very hot nurses in that place.........

[NNN0LHI]

3. I hope he never resigns

Any time someone sees him out and about all they will think about is Republican freaks wearing diapers with prostitutes.

That ain't all bad.

Don

[durrrty libby]

13. Absolutely He would always be good for shits and giggles

[pitohui]

53. i'm guessing you don't live in louisiana, this ineffective waste of space MUST resign

it is one of the great tragedies that this POS was our senator when the storm hit, instead of john breaux the man who preceded him in that office

what is fun and giggles for people in other states -- is life and death for us

vitter is fucking useless, always has been, always will be -- in our time of need he was there to make sure that nothing got done except kissing *'s ass when it came to getting help for recovery

if there is a god, he will resign, but i'm not holding my damn breath

[jgraz]

64. Wha??? His resignation gives us one more Dem Senator

Which means we can kick Lierberturd to the curb.

[robinlynne]

72. ahh but resigning, the dem governor (such as she is...) gets to pick his

replacement.

[npincus]

4. I read he's returning to Senate on Tues

(probably)

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/07/13/ap/politics/main3056673.shtml

[pitohui]

54. these people have no shame

i realize that senators fuck around but come on, he is selling himself as holier than the rest of us

i am so sick of their fucking hypocrisy

[Ian David]

5. Senator Vitter needs our support

Perhaps we could send him one of these lovely Equality Bears?

39. He'd look precious in this, don'tcha think? I think he'd like them.

:evilgrin:

[jimshoes]

6. Can Blanco appoint a Democrat to replace?

Hope so, we can then tell holy joe to go cheney himself.

[wakeme2008]

26. Yes unless she caves to the Repug

:shrug:

[in_cog_ni_to]

35. After Katrina??? Are you kidding me? Payback's a BITCH! Karma baby!!!! n/t

[babylonsister]

46. I wish I was as confident as you are about that. nt

[pitohui]

55. yes but let's be willing to be real

i'll be honest, if she has to compromise and make a back room deal to put another pug in there, it would still be better than david vitter

i don't want to give vitter an excuse to "hang in there"

[Nite Owl]

61. You are probably right

who knows maybe she participated with him.

[pitohui]

69. trust me

gov. blanco did not participate in vitter's games nor is she interested in that sort of "poop"

:-)

unfortunately politics is the art of the possible

[Nite Owl]

82. Opps

I meant this as an answer to your post #56. I was talking about his wife not the Gov! lol

[juajen]

94. I don't appreciate that kind of remark about our very able and

trustworthy Governor, and, no, I am not being sarcastic.

There seems to me to be a hell of a lot of people on DU that love to take potshots at our state and after all this state has gone through and is still going through, this is despicable.

Please give us some credit. We have a large percentage of people who live in poverty in this state, and we work pretty hard to keep on top of it; and, it doesn't help that pugs have been instigating a takeover since before Edwin Edwards (no, I do not wish to discuss our "Gentleman" governor). We have no more crooks in our State than a lot of others; SO, PLEASE STOP THROWING STONES. I'm sure that Kathleen will do the best that she can for the state and country that she loves.

[Nite Owl]

95. juajen

Please see the post above, I hit reply to the wrong post. I was meaning his wife not the Gov. I was replying to a post from the same person down below that after 10 yrs his wife had to know what was going on.

[robinlynne]

73. what does the law say? Isn't it her choice?

[jimshoes]

76. But if the shoe were on the other foot

how willing would a pug be to name a dem replacement for any reason?

[Marr]

104. Why not? If the choice is between another Republican and the PR nightmare of Vitter,

I'd be perfectly happy to see Vitter "hang in there".

They're in a bad position to nogotiate. They can either suffer through this Vitter scandal, or they can lose a seat in the Senate. I don't see a need for compromise here.

[Hosnon]

75. Yes, but I'm undecided on how I think these situations should be handled.

On the one hand, appointing from the party of the vacated politician acknowledges the will of the voters. Also, a practice of appointing from the same party lessens any incentive to "dispose of" politicians that are not of the same party as their governor.

On the other hand, if the practice of appointing from the party of the governor is established, voters can be charged with knowing the consequences of voting in a governor of a particular party (although, this is tenuous, at best). Also, the practice would in this instance benefit the Democrats.

In the end, I tend to think that governors should appoint a replacement from the same party as the vacated politician.

Edit: Clarification.

[Nite Owl]

7. Oh, oh

did his wife keep her promise to chop it off?

[pitohui]

56. no his wife was lying even then -- she knew he was cheating even then

let's put it this way, pitohui is a middle middle class type person not a member of the cia, if i knew mr. vitter was paying the ladies to get his jollies ten-plus years back, yeah, his wife knew

she was just blustering

it's called reaction formation

she over stated because she already knew he had whores

[panader0]

8. Hospital? Maybe the Lorena Bobbett story is true

[MADem]

15. That place treats people with "addictive disorders"

Like I said below, I will bet the press release will call him an alcoholic/sex addict....one who does crazy things when he blacks out, so see, it ain't REALLY his fault...

I don't believe it, but I think that is how he will play it.

[pitohui]

57. he's a known sex addict eom

M

[badgerpup]

96. hope it's just for his 'addiction'...

...what with all the shit hitting the fan...no pun intended here...the guy might very well be telling his missus "Never mind about Mr. Happy- just give it to me in the throat.
Carotid artery is right...there :scared::hide:

[yankeeinlouisiana]

79. Dear Lord!!

That is exactly what I said to my husband last night...he'll check into a hospital and call it an addiction.

:eyes:

If old weasel eyes resigns, Blanco better appoint a dem! If she's in "negotiations" with the GOP, it's probably just for show. She's not running again, so she has nothing to loose.

[MADem]

86. When in doubt, employ the "Limbaugh Feint!!!"

It's much, much easier to do than the "Swaggart Sob" certainly!

[Chipper Chat]

9. Republicans attempting to negotiate?

That's a laugh.

[ljm2002]

20. Yes, more likely they're threatening Blanco...

...in order to force her to choose a Republic as an interim appointment.

Well I know she may have to concede due to the position her state is in w.r.t. recovery funds. But Damitol(TM), I do so wish she would just thumb her nose at the lot of them and appoint the most liberal Democrat she can find in the state of Louisiana.

Dream on. ;-)

[pitohui]

charlie melancon might be my choice

but i do think she will have to do some negotiating, it's easy to sit here and throw out names

hell i'd be just as happy to have john breaux back but he's ineligible, for reasons known best to himself he stupidly moved to maryland before the storm

[Fresh_Start]

10. Did he get toxic shock from wearing a dirty diaper too long?

Or is he in shock over being exposed for the hypocrite he is?

[SoCalDem]

23. Stage 3 diaper rash n/t

[MADem]

11. Well, of COURSE!!! He's pulling the "Not a PERVERT--I'm an ADDICT!!!" routine

Whatcha wanna bet he's being treated for probably sex and alcohol addiction.

If I had to write the press release, that's how I'd play it!!!!!

I'll tell ya, though--ordinary fiddling about with generic prostitutes is one thing that he might have made to 'go away' in time, dirty diapers are something else altogether. I can't see him riding this out, given that tidbit.

[Bolo Boffin]

29. Bingo!

Unless Mrs. Vitter made good on her promise...

:hide:

[Bolo Boffin]

98. He's not sick - he's sloppy. n/t

[Gold Metal Flake]

12. Blanco is weak. I predict she will agree to appoint a Repuke.

The term 'negotiating" is troubling. If she truly loved her country, she would negotiate until Sen. Pervey McDiaper resigns, then appoint a Dem.

[ronnykmarshall]

16. She doesn't have to worry about re-election

She's not running.

I'd LOVE to see her appoint a Dem.

[SoCalDem]

22. Put it this way.,. If a republican gov had a chance to repalce a dem senator, would they?

IN A HEARTBEAT!!

[Ian David]

28. The Repukes sure went out of their way to get rid of Paul Wellstone. n/t

[Gold Metal Flake]

87. Tim Johnson is a perfect example.

South Dakota Governor Michael Rounds would replace Johnson with a Republican if he had the opportunity.

[pitohui]

62. yes but there are other reasons to negotiate besides self interest

i think we've established by this time of century that gov. blanco ain't about the personal ego

she does have to worry, continually, about people getting their federal aid and also about fema helping us in FUTURE storms, we are still on the gulf coast and always will be

some folks, it ain't about them, they are actually trying to do good in the world

i would rather see a democrat picked as well, but if vitter refuses to resign unless it's a republican going to replace him, come on...make the deal w. the devil and get vitter out of public life PLEASE

[Gold Metal Flake]

90. Vitter is in such a strong position, afterall.

He's an infantilist! He puts on diapers, shits in them and hires hookers to change him. Oh, yeah, lets just let him stay. It's not like he's a national embarassment or anything. I mean, this will go away in a few days, right? No more stories of poopy diapers from former "associates" will get out, right?

Yes, Vitter refusing to resign will be such a problem for the Democrats. Well, I guess it will be difficult digging through all of the jokes to choose the best ones.

[Gold Metal Flake]

84. Small comfort with these modern Democrats, which seem to be made of rice paper and celophane tape.

I do not trust Blanco to support her party.

[Nia Zuri]

24. Unfortunately , I think you're righ Blanco will surely cave... n/t

[Gold Metal Flake]

91. She ain't no LBJ.

I just hope she finds the guts to just look across her desk and the La. Repukes and laugh.

[Ian David]

27. She should just ask Larry Flynt for a name that's already on his list.

"What? Come ON! I gave you another Republican and then HE turns out to have slept with a whore, too? What do you WANT from me?"

[babylonsister]

85. Hey, brilliant! Always thinking!

:rofl:

[Gold Metal Flake]

92. Now THAT is one hell of an idea.

Nicely done! :toast:

[SoCalDem]

14. Rehab?...Toilet Training? n/t

[Swamp Rat]

32. LOL!!!!!! you beat me to it!

[ConsAreLiars]

40. Now THAT (eek!) IMAGE needs its own thread so it can be K&R'd

to the very top of the DU's Greatest page.

Maybe a warning: "Caution - Republican Family Values Revealed"

And, did I say, EEK!

That pic would make an excellent get well soon card.

You should suggest it to him. ;)

[mcg]

99. Another elephant for Vitter

[partylessinOhio]

18. STD?

:shrug:

[musette_sf]

19. Ochsner is one of the biggest oncology hospitals

in the area. expect a Tony Snow-type announcement, and subsequent resignation for health and family reasons.

and if this turns out to be the case, the Repukes will give him the Snowman pass on any criticism of his personal failings.

[David Zephyr]

21. If Blanco appointed a Democrat, Lieberman's extortion would be ended!!

She should appoint a Democrat. It's her choice.

[SoCalDem]

25. She should appoint a sitting Louisiana congressperson..

That person would be already IN DC and have a better chance of getting re-elected in '08..

[David Zephyr]

31. I agree. We should all e-mail her office and demand a Democrat.

The GOP has no bargaining power in this.

They can keep the diaper man or let him resign. Either way we win.

The Democrats in the Senate need this vote. The Governor can help end the war, can usher more help for N.O.

[robinlynne]

74. I like that strategy. I think we should.

[against all enemies]

30. A republican Governor would never give the Dems a break Why

should we? I'm so sick of Democrats playing nice and then when it's the Republicans turn they shove it up our ass.

[David Zephyr]

34. Absolutely. They even recall our Democratic governors like G. Davis.

The governor should not be bullied.

The GOP should be thankful just to let this sack of shit resign.

Personally, I hope Vitter stays in office and is seen about town in D.C. with his party members.

The Governor must appoint a Democrat.

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. Oh, I see. He'll get a diaper rash shot and that will make it all better!

Blanco can appoint a Democrat to replace him, right? After what the repukes have done to her, if she has the power to appoint a Dem, she damn well better do that! Why would she be negotiating with repukes?

[Spazito]

36. Oh no, dirty ditties do in David's dedication!

:rofl:

[blondeatlast]

52. *snort* LOL! nt

Roto Rehab...for the true neoCon-A-Sewer

Roto Rudy Rehab?

43. Does Governor Appoint Senator of Choice?

[in_cog_ni_to]

44. YES. n/t

[PBS Poll-435]

97. I am hoping for Mitch Landrieu

We already have 2 sisters and 2 brothers in the House....

[Blue-Jay]

47. There's a hospital that can cure you from calling hookers?

Damn. Medical science has progressed by leaps and bounds in the past week.

[blondeatlast]

50. That's what happens when RRRepublicans get caught with their Huggies down.

As long as this keeps up, we'll get universal care--for private hospitals with sex addict rehab.

[Libby2]

51. Yep, but if you don't have insurance

You're screwed. ;-)

[Kingshakabobo]

48. Why let him off the hook if it doesn't benefit US?

Fuck 'em........let him stew in his own juices (Note: not a reference to anything diaper related).

[Traveling_Home]

49. I just heard.....

he's supposed to be back in DC next week for roll-call votes

[in_cog_ni_to]

58. I think that was BEFORE this latest info came out. He received calls from the Madam while the House

was in Roll Call votes. She called him 5 times while he was on the taxpayer's dime! He won't be back. The diaper story has him hanging his head LOW. I really doubt that he can show his face in DC again.:7

[matcom]

59. Ain't UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE grand?

not that he is ABUSING the system or anything

:eyes:

[wicket]

60. oh boy

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[C_U_L8R]

66. my offer is this Senator... Nothing

Not even the $20,000 for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.

[Kingshakabobo]

71. Ha! Good one! n/t

[Feron]

67. Apparently the hospital rumor is false.

"Other rumors swirled around town yesterday that Vitter had been hospitalized. Some of these came from remarkably well-placed sources, but last night I was told they were false by a knowledgable source I trust. That's good news."

83. blanco? looks like another repuker in the Senate.

blanco one of the worst governors in US history. she lost new orleans, along with bushie and brownie and company.

[merh]

93. Bless his heart. He needs help, he is sick. Go figure. n/t LAME AS ALL SI&*.

[madokie]

100. that must have been some KIND of sex if it sent him to the hospital

never had any like that

[spirit of wine]

101. You live by the sword...

you die by the sword. But its got to be painful, Ouch!

[siri2k]

102. "FAMILY VALUES" HO MONGERS

The link in this post is incorrect. The correct link is:
http://www.legitgov.org/dc_madam_phone_records_090707.html

This is massively important as an issue. The main point is that there are NOT 2 sets of laws in this country, one for the little people and one for those in power. The kind of hyprocracy displayed by Git Her Vitter is appalling!

Check out the above link (Citizens for Legitimate Government). It's making for some fascinating reading!
Thank YOU, DU!
siri
:patriot:

[Marr]

103. Why should Blanco appoint a Republican?

The choice for the GOP should be either:

1) Keep Vitter, and cope with the bad image

or

2) Lose the seat

I don't see why they should be handed a get of jail free card here. Is there any doubt what the GOP would do if the situation were reversed? Remember the GOP push to replace the Dem who had a stroke?
