15. He Adopted The Stance
But didn't act on it. There were probably others instances but this was the one that brought him to national attention

6. Perhaps it would help to think of it as a Titillation Scandal.

Abraham Lincoln exchanged naughty letters with another man.
That's not EXACTLY accurate, but it's close enough to have a certain truthiness to it.

10. I'm not sure if "Adult Baby" falls into the actual sex catagory
Ask Vitter

(If you aren't familiar- here is a website that vitter must visit a LOT:

14. I think he probably told the truth about that part.
But I'd actually be much less creeped out had there been an actual affair instead of the tweeting to random strangers. Weird I know. But if he actually knew the person it could have explained why he thought the secret wouldn't get out. You know, somebody he liked and trusted.

19. I don't know......
but I am so tired of hearing the media blast him. I think he should step down ONLY if Vitter and others who have been caught in REAL sex scandals do so!

21. That would make a great presser for Weiner. Just put it all on the line that way.
You want me to go down so bad? well then Vitter's toast too.
no more double standards.
