Senator seeks to rebuild trust after sex scandal
Vitter’s wife said she has forgiven husband’s role with escort service
Updated: 8:17 p.m. ET July 16, 2007
METAIRIE, La. - {AP}Sen. David Vitter on Monday denied having
relationships with New Orleans prostitutes, a week after admitting links
to a Washington escort service that federal prosecutors allege was a
prostitution ring.
Vitter, emerging from a week of seclusion by appearing at a news
conference in suburban Metairie with his wife, Wendy, at his side,
denied the prostitution allegations and offered no indication that he
would resign. He said he planned to fly Monday night to Washington to
resume work in the Senate.
“I want to again offer my deep, sincere apologies to all those I have
let down and disappointed with actions from my past,” Vitter said. “I am
completely responsible and I am so very, very sorry.”
On July 9, Vitter apologized for committing a “very serious sin in my
past,” acknowledging that his Washington phone number was among those
called several years ago by an escort service that prosecutors say was a
prostitution operation.
Telephone records show that the service called Vitter’s number five
times from 1999 to 2001, while he was a U.S. representative.
The first-term Republican said he has worked hard on his marriage and on
living by the values he has long espoused as a politician.
“I believe I received forgiveness from God. I know I did from Wendy,” he
said. “Unfortunately, my admission has incurred some longtime political
enemies and those hoping to profit from this situation.”

Atheist n A person to be pitied in that he is
unable to believe things for which there is
no evidence, and who has thus deprived himself of
a convenient means of feeling superior to others.

Then ol' possum-face ought to admit to the full extent of his *****-
hopping. He's been at it humping strange since his days in the LA
legislature and his phone number appears five times on the DC Madam's
list. But with a straight face he denies having patronized her.
He's a hypocrite AND a brazen liar. As soon as his wife does a
Bobbitt on him and he resigns, that will be poetic justice for the
sanctimonious *****.

The script never changes with these scoundrels.
"I did wrong -- but that's in the past. I've
changed my ways, and I've asked Jeeeeezuz to
forgive me. My wife has forgiven me my
indiscretions, and we again have a stereotype
filling happy family." (We're to ignore the
suspicion that it's not necessarily salt-of-the-
earth devotion that impels the the wife of rich
and very powerful man to feign familial loyalty.)

I can believe that he had no relationships with prostitutes, however
many he may have fucked.

I believe god's name may have been mentioned from time to time, but
that was pretty much it.
