I could care less one way or the other. But don't let me get in the way of tripping all over yourself over this one. It's not that important.
And just to clarify, Craig is a hypocrite because he's a closet homosexual. Vitter cheated on his wife with a female prostitute before taking office. Vitter is a louse, not a hypocrite.
Vitter was elected to the House in 1999 and the Senate in 2004
from Wiki:
In early July 2007, Vitter's phone number was included in a published list of phone records of Pamela Martin and Associates, a company owned and run by Deborah Jeane Palfrey, also known as the "D.C. Madam", convicted by the U.S. government for running a prostitution service.
Hustler magazine identified the phone number and contacted Vitter's office to ask about his connection to Palfrey.[121][122] The following day, Vitter issued a written statement:This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible. Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there - with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way.[123]
The statement containing Vitter's apology said his telephone number was included in phone records dating from his days as a member of the House of Representatives.[7] Phone records show that Vitter's number was called by Palfrey's service five times, the first on October 12, 1999, and the last on February 27, 2001.[124] Two calls were placed while House roll call votes were in progress.[125]
Vitter is unlikely to face criminal charges due to the statute of limitations.[128] Vitter apologized to GOP senate colleagues but avoided the press who repeatedly attempted to talk to him. [129]
On November 13, 2007, the attorney for Palfrey served Vitter with a subpoena to force him to testify at a November 28, 2007 hearing about whether an act of prostitution occurred with a Palfrey escort and when.[130][131] The following week, the judge in the case canceled the hearing.[132] Palfrey's attorney indicated he planned to subpoena Vitter to testify at her 2008 criminal trial,[133] even though Vitter might have pled the Fifth Amendment to avoid self-incrimination[134] but in the end he wasn't called to testify.[135]
