4. Good.

Although JJ Jr.'s infidelity wasn't as high profile.

2. Good. What gets anyone off, including Vitter, SHOULD be a non issue.

It's his voting record and policy stances that suck.

5. Normally I'd Agree With You, But...

Prostitution is usually considered a crime, unless in Nevada.

And lawmakers breaking the law SHOULD be a deal breaker...

9. Well, then, charges should have been pressed

The fact that he was a lawmaker PREVENTED him from suffering consequences.

See how that works?

15. Justice Vs. Just Us...

Was it Richard Pryor that made up that phrase?

18. Paying for sex is a crime, unless in Nevada

paying to be dressed in diapers isn't. I don't know which it was, nor do I care. He wasn't convicted.

Apart from his sex life, he sucks.

13. Actually (and you'll probably hate me)...

I think that it's high time we as a nation move beyond the sex scandal distractions and focus on the real issues.

Such as protecting that man-woman marriage!
