La. Dems Respond To Vitter's 'LuvFest' Ad: Our 'LuvFests' Are Legal, Unlike Yours

Talking Points Memo:

Check out this statement we just got from the Louisiana Democratic Party, responding to Republican Sen. David Vitter's recent Web ad going after his potential opponent, Blue Dog Congressman Charlie Melancon, for attending a Democratic fundraising event in Massachusetts. What was so notable about it is that Vitter, who was linked to a prostitution scandal in 2007 and apologized for committing a "serious sin," attacked Melancon for going to a "Liberal LuvFest."

He is such an embarassment, what a hypocrite.

[SharpDressedMan]

When will votes in Louisiana do the right thing and toss him out of politics?

[maxfax]

When they get educated, therefore no time soon, since Jindal helped cut funding to higher education.

The kicker quote:

"In contrast to the kind of luvfest David Vitter is used to, this trip was legal, public and no money changed hands'" said Louisiana Democratic Party spokesman Kevin Franck.




That one's gonna leave a mark.

Introspection. All these Rethuglicans, have not this ability.

They have absolutely no idea as to how they are perceived.

If it weren't for all the damage they've done in the recent past,

to this country, they'd be pitiable.

[bronceye]

Vitter was heard to say-Depends.

You have to give America and the GOP credit they supply the world with so much humor that people all over the world tune in every day just to get a laugh.

[Grannysue]

Well Vitter at least they didn't have to drag their wife out in front of the camera's afterward and tell everyone "I have sinned, please forgive me" boohoo!

[Jimmyboyo]

didn't he also like to wear diappers when visiting the prot=stitues? One can only imagine what he liekd to do in the diappers with the prostitutes

[thepoliticalcat]

Well, he paid the ladies for changing him. Sordid little man.

[Greywolf Borealis]

Hippo Crit!

[tahoegal]

Vitter you are hurting your own party - why not just shut your pie hole? Pretty please?

[JiminNC]

Give him a microphone

[JenIA]

The Retardican Party is going to branch off and create the *luv party*, who will duke it out to be the leader? Vitter, Ensign, Sanford...

[jaggededge]

Foley, Craig, ...

[jaggededge]

Livingston, Gingrich, Barton...

While I am not a supporter of any Blue Dog Democrat, Melancon was right in calling out Vitter on Vitter's hypocrisy.

Vitter is a committed adulterer who frequented prostitutes. No room for any name calling or accusations about anyone's ethics ever from him.

[cobraxus]

I remember Tucker Carlson and Jonah Goldberg defending this creep.Nuff Said!

[democracy7]

Ah, the party of hypocracy strkes again. Are we surprised?
