I found a CBS article titled “Louisiana Senator Admits Link To D.C. Madam” The article read:

(CBS) WASHINGTON Sen. David Vitter is apologizing for what he calls “a very serious sin in my past” - a statement released by the Louisiana Republican after his telephone number appeared among those associated with an escort service operated by the so-called “D.C. Madam.”…

So, Senator Vitter, a long time proponent of moral legislation confessed to a crime after he was caught? This hypocrisy makes me sick. Here is a man that has been trying to create laws based on a moral fiber that he himself does not possess.

I am all for small government (especially when it comes to the government telling me how to live my life). And I do not feel that gay marriage is right, but I also don’t think it is right for Sen. Vitter to take a “moral” stance and speak out so strongly against gay marriage on “moral” grounds when he is cheating on his wife with a prostitute.

Sen. Vitter said:

“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.”

Well, good for him… he confessed after his name was published by the DC Madam and he has an amazing PR person. That is an amazing response to the situation, but why should I care that he feels God forgave him? All I see is a hypocrite.

Don’t get me wrong, I know we all make mistakes. We are all human. I am not as upset with his mistake as I am with his audacity to preach to us and try and legislate his “views” on our lives all while he was going against what he was preaching.

If he is so tough on crime (as he says he is) shouldn’t there be an officer knocking on his door any minute now? Or is that his private life? Amazing isn’t it? He wants to legislate other’s rights in their private life, but wants us to butt out?!?!
