Sen. David Vitter, R-La., has been mostly mum on the prostitution scandal that forced Democratic New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer to announce his resignation last week. But Vitter let down his guard a bit in a conference call with constituents. Scott Jordan, editor of the Independent Weekly of Lafayette, said he was able to ask Vitter whether he would resign after his phone number was connected last year to a Washington, D.C., escort service that federal investigators say was a call-girl operation. "I have made a very serious mistake a long time ago and I have to live with that every day," Vitter said, according to Jordan's account. "That's not a flippant statement. I need to spend my whole life making up for that." According to Jordan, Vitter turned "a bit defiant" and added: "Anybody who looks at the two cases will see there is an enormous difference between the two of them. The people that are trying to draw comparisons to the two cases are people who've never agreed with me on important issues like immigration and other things."

I had read a report that Spitzer's resignation was hastened by the fact that state repugnant's were preparing impeachment papers against him. Why won't democrats take the same steps against Vitter, and Larry Craig for that matter?

The expression on Vitter's face says it all... somebody needs CHANGING!

The Gullibility of a Five Year Old: the ‘Traditional Christian American Value’ responsible for putting a hypocritical hack like Vitter in office in the first place.

Was the difference the amount of money spent? Or likes and dislikes?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...classic.
Republican Senator and whoremonger David Vitter is basically telling his dental hygienically impaired base that his schtooping hookers was far different than Eliot Spitzer schtooping hookers.
But, that’s not the best part!
The best part is that Vitter’s chromosomally challenged base actually swallowed Vitter’s self serving holier than thou crap hook-line-­and-sinker­.
“Yup, y’all read that right ya’ city slickers. Sure Senator Vitter had sex with hookers like ‘yer’ Elito Spitzer did, but Mr. Vitter told us it is different ‘fer’ him than ‘fer’ Mr. Spitzer and since ‘weeez’ Reepublerkanz, we believe anything we hear...yeee har har har!”

Trust me my fellow Americans I think we are drastically underestimating the stupidity of McCain’s base.
2008 is going to be closer than any of us think!

The only real difference is that a lot of us voters EXPECT republicans to go out as sleazy hypocrites... That's why there was no serious calling for Vitter's resignation. No offense to Vitter, but frankly nobody is all that shocked that Vitter ended up being a lying cheater. Spitzer, on the other hand, seemly stood for fairness, justice, honesty - all of those were lies too, but we, the public, were surprised.

yeah, there was an enormous difference -- Switzer had higher-priced hookers and his wife didn't dress like one during the obligatory stand-by-your-man apology photo op! Vitters is a complete joke!

" I wore diapers. Elliot did not. I base my career on trying to criminalize happy law abiding citizens. Elliot based his career on prosecuting criminals. He faced the music, admitted a mistake and resigned. I admitted a mistake, got immediate divine intervention and forgiveness because I am from the bible belt and did not resign. God does not like Democrats. Do you like blue diaper pins or pinkones? Spank me please. I have been bad. Oh so bad. Oh yeah Momma, spank me.Wah, wah wah..."

"The people that are trying to draw comparisons to the two cases are people who've never agreed with me on important issues like immigration and other things."

Exactly ! Every time I tried to compare sex with a high priced call girl and sex with a street hooker while wearing "Huggies" , I became obsessed with thoughts of illegal migrant workers picking oranges.

Yea there are vasts differences between Vitter and Spitzer.

Spitzer just wanted sex, Vitter wanted the prostitute to dress him up in a diaper. While both are bad, i'd think Vitter wins this one with his degenerate fetish.

Of course there was an enormous difference. $5,500 dollars vs. $150.

when Spitzer was transferring money to Mark Brenner, the pimp, he thought that he was paying for confidentiality, ha-ha..

Ya, the main difference was Spitzer screwed high priced, classy whores and Vitter plowed budget skanks.

Big difference there. Vitter's is a very classy guy...he knows a good deal when it blows him, and yanks the knotted hanky out of his butt at just the right time! Get the timing right babe, and there's a deuce in it for ya! I understand he also had a jones for the Depends set...if they're older than his mommy, there's a fiver in it for them! Older than granny...your looking at ten on top of the five! Big tipper...so to speak.

Vitter is just another of the Senate Republican Remora's that's permanently stuck to The Great White Bush's ass.
