David Vitter to Run for Re-Election
Republican Senator David Vitter of Louisiana, will run for re-election in 2010. AP reports that Vitter will hold a fundraiser next week for his campaign. The event will be headlined by popular Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, a potential Republican nominee for President in 2012. Vitter refused to resign in July of last year when reports linking him to the late DC Madam, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, surfaced. His phone number was disclosed by Palfrey. Palfrey committed suicide in May.
Vitter made news today by calling the auto bailout "ass backward". This post from Wonkette's Jim Newell deftly handles the comedy radiating from that choice of words. Vitter and fellow Republican Senators Jim DeMint, Richard Shelby, John Ensign, and Tom Coburn plan to mount an effort to block the legislation.
The bailout passed the House moments ago.

Louisiana voters, Please vote out David "Diaperman" Vitter. If you don't you'll be a national laughingstock.

Problem with Democrats is when they get caught with their pants down, they admit it and go away like Spitzer. Republicans can be caught with little boy hookers and heroin laced Hershey Bars, and STILL will go on like nothing had happened!

It helps to get a standing ovation from your henchmen.
They'd have given him a standing O for teabaggin' a possum on Pennsylvania avenue as long as it was a female possum. They were beginning to worry that their straight republican ticket voters wouldn't have enough straight republicans.
Overheard in a metro airport: yeah, I doubt larry craig will be running, but did you ever notice the way he walks?
