Wailin' and Madam


From the beginning of his political career 16 years ago, Sen. David Vitter has been known for efforts to plant himself on the moral high ground, challenging the ethics of other Louisiana politicians, decrying same-sex marriage and depicting himself as a clean-as-a-whistle champion of family values.

"I’m a conservative who opposes radically redefining marriage, the most important social institution in human history," Vitter, a 46-year-old Republican, wrote in a letter last year to The Times-Picayune, the New Orleans daily.

Indeed. Everyone knows that a marriage should be between one man, one woman and a buttload of whores. Lucky for Vitter, whose future as Rudy Giuliani's Southern campaign chairman is suddenly on shaky ground, character witnesses have already begun to come out of the woodwork in his defense.In New Orleans, the madam of a high-priced brothel that was shut down by federal authorities in 2002 told a local television station, WDSU, that Vitter was one of her clients in the 1990s. The woman, Jeanette Maier, called him "one of the nicest and most honorable men I've ever met." Ain't that sweet. (NYT)
