Lest we forget (and I'm talking to you, GOP), fellow whoremonger David Vitter, Republican Senator from Louisiana, had some fun with prostitutes and was named as a client in the D.C. Madam scandal.

Vitter was not asked to resign. Instead, he got a standing ovation from the GOP.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
