What's Up With Republicans and Sex?

Sen. Vitter Lays Low Amid Escalating Madam Problem
As of this afternoon, Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) still hadn't moved to quash the subpoena he received three days ago from the so-called D.C. Madam. He worked and voted all week on Capitol Hill, but Vitter assiduously avoided public appearances.

On Tuesday, the day Vitter was subpoenaed by the former owner of an escort service to which he has been linked, Vitter skipped a Louisiana delegation news conference with Rep. Bobby Jindal (R-La.), the state's incoming governor. Sen. Mary Landrieu (D), Rep. Rodney Alexander (R) and outgoing Gov. Kathleen Blanco were all there.

On Thursday of last week, Vitter was conspicuously missing from the limelight as Landrieu and the rest of the Louisiana delegation touted their "$12 Billion Day" - having secured that much money to help the state's continued rebuilding effort from Katrina and provide future storm and flood protection.

But then again, Thursday was the day Hustler magazine provided advance copies to the media of its upcoming January issue featuring the former prostitute who claims she provided services to Vitter in 1999, the year he won a House race in a special election.

Morally upstanding people are the do-gooders of society, right? Actually, a new study finds that a sense of moral superiority can lead to unethical acts, such as cheating. In fact, some of the best do-gooders can become the worst cheats.

Stop us if this sounds familiar

It's always been bi-partisan, Thomas. There are hypocrites of every political persuasion. It's just that it's weighted so heavily to the conservative/Republican side.

You've missed the mark MM.

It has nothing to do with who is in power and you know it.
