WASHINGTON — Louisiana Sen. David Vitter apologized Monday for his telephone number showing up on the old phone records of Pamela Martin and Associates, the alleged prostitution ring run in the nation’s capital by Deborah Jeane Palfrey.
“This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible,” Vitter said in a statement.
So in that entire list, we are to believe that there’s only one politician of any way whatsoever , and that one happens to be a member of the GOP. And I’m selling Florida by the gallon. Sorry, I’m not buying it.
It’s no small thing, that the ones generating the most heat on this, are the same ones who defended Bill Clinton.What we have here, inside the first circle is Palfrey, who is a prostitute/pimp. she got caught, she’s facing jail time. In a move which could only be described as blackmail, she decided she was going to try to make the charges go way by being a name dropper. It didn’t work. so, she decided that a scorched earth policy was her best path. She decided that if she’s going down, she’s taking a bunch of other people with her.
But, I think I ought to point out, that now that we have the list in front of us, there is no way for us to determine who was who used the service legally, and who use the service to engage in prostitution. That would seem to include David Vitter.
Vitter, for his part, could have pulled a Bill Clinton, and claim he “never had sex with that woman”, and pull all kinds of legal stunts to the end of confounding his critics as Bill Clinton did. He didn’t. I suppose that to be a massive difference in the character of the two individuals.
But the difference in character, here, is also exposed, insofar as the character of the people labeling this a scandal. It’s no small thing, that the ones generating the most heat on this, are the [1] same [2] ones [3] who [4]defended [5] Bill Clinton [6]. That particular point is not brought up in defense of Vitter, but rather to show in stark relief, the remarkable double standard being applied by the left in this matter.
Make no mistake about the opportunism that’s going on here.
And by the way, I note that with just the one public name out, the server that contains the records is down. [7]
I wonder; is this a case of protecting the democrats on that list, now that the pound of Republican flesh has been offered up?
