Republican Admits to 'Serious Sin in My Past'
By Susan Jones
CNSNews.com Senior Editor
July 10, 2007

"Here is a guy who preached about New Orleans being sinful. What a joke," wrote one reader. "As I've said in the past all men in congress get drunk with power. The only thing that would surprise me is if Mary Landrieu or Pelosi were buying boy toys."

"I want govt. out of my wallet an out of my bedroom, regardless of political party," wrote another reader.

"Soliciting sex is illegal in DC. Vitter therefore broke the law. Are Republicans ready to reelect a criminal to office in 2010? Because Vitter broke the law, he should resign. This is really a huge disgrace, and we cannot afford any more bad press in Louisiana," said another angry constituent.

"His bible thumping family value gravy train has derailed."

One reader mentioned press reports in 2004 in which Vitter (running for the Senate at the time) publicly denied allegations that he had an 11-month affair with a known prostitute.

2. All actions are in the past. That is how time works in our universe.

It's in my past isn't a defense.


All it says is that he doesn't actively have his dick in a hooker at the moment he said it.


I'm sick of "In the past"

It means NOTHING.
