I guess after a scandal, you want to get back in the game at some point, right? After the trouble passes it's time to go back to work and do your job.
For Louisiana Senator David Vitter, who it turns out had some fun with prostitutes, this means representing his constituents and voting in the US Senate. Of course he would take a position on issues relating to the country and his home state, that is only to be expected since he has chosen not to resign his seat.
Yet he chooses to enter the fray like this? He's going after Ohio Senator George Voinovich who yesterday claimed the GOP has been hijacked by the South. OK, even this isn't too bad.
Except Vitter chose to attack him on VALUES!
He actually said "I'm on the side of conservatives getting back to core conservative values." To what values, I wonder, is he referring?
Senator Voinovich, who Vitter referred to as "a moderate, really wishy-washy" is retiring after a distinguished career of public service. Not that I've always agreed with him, but at least he didn't bring public shame to his state. Vitter though seems determined to press on and even claimed "there are a lot of us from the South who hold those values".
I suppose if you're flawed enough to abandon your marriage vows with hookers, you have to truly embrace hypocrisy at a level I just don't understand.
