For Senator Vitter's consideration
Edited on Sun Jul-15-07 08:17 PM by lwfern
I understand that Senator Vitter's staff is working on talking points for his return to the public eye. In the spirit of reaching across the aisle, I'd like to offer my assistance.

One of my biggest regrets is that I was never able to serve my country as a member of the military. I felt it was far too important to leave those job opportunities open for those who needed them most. I do, however, have boundless respect and admiration for those who have protected our way of life by serving in the trenches abroad. *pause for audience reaction* The path they've chosen to follow isn't easy; it's been filled with the grit and grime of the battlefield. When they return home, they will have lost a bit of their clean youthful innocence, but they will have gained wisdom and maturity in its place. These courageous young men and women are poised to become the true leaders of our future.

Our country is at war overseas, but we are also fighting a war on the home-front as well; a war against the sinful forces that are tearing the very fabric of our society apart. As any combat veteran will tell you, one of the first rules of warfare is to know your enemy. While I am in no way comparing myself to those brave troops who are now in Iraq *pause for audience reaction*, I can now say that I've had a taste of what their life is like, having taken it upon myself to jump into the trenches and soil myself with the ugly realities of a different kind of battle. I have emerged as a stronger more mature leader as a result. I don't believe it's necessary or helpful to delve into the ugly details of what happens in battle, suffice it to say that my experiences will live with me forever, just as the images of the devastation brought by the terrorists who attacked us on 911 will live with us forever. *serious moment of contemplation*

I hope that when our soldiers return, all of us can put aside our differences and welcome them home. This is not a time for partisan politics.

3. I think you have a future
as a Republican speechwriter! :rofl:

I would be just like one of them to compare themselves being caught with a "fantasy escort" to being shot at by insurgents.

9. I think at the end he should ask if there are any Mommies in the
audience who could meet him back stage to help with a small problem.
