As for Vitter, last I checked he was a politician from Louisiana, is it actually news when one of them is caught in a scandal at this point?
[/QUOTE]
More to the point, he’s a Republican. They don’t have to be from Louisiana to be corrupt.

Agreed. Of course, the same goes for Democrats, cough James Traficant cough, or of course, Senator Harrison A. Williams (D-NJ), John Jenrette (D-NJ), Raymond Lederer (D-PA), Michael Myers (D-PA), Frank Thompson (D-NJ), or Senator Robert Torricelli (D-NJ)!

Interesting, interesting I say! I can’t remember the last term I saw such a fair, balanced, and rational opinion expressed in this forum, I applaud you sir.
[/QUOTE]
As for rational, I go by what I see, and what I see is that the Republicans are amoral predators.
As for “fair and balanced”, I regard the Republicans as evil, and my enemy. I have no interest in being “fair” towards them, and I’m certainly not going to be “balanced” towards vermin.

Isn’t the invisible hand that trick where you lie down with your shoulder at a weird angle so your arm falls asleep and then you masturbate with the numb hand and pretend it’s somebody else?
Cheaper than a hooker, at least.

shrugs Same price as a congressional intern. 
I see where he’s going with this, but to be fair, he is exposing someone’s sex life (assuming people have come forward). Regardless of what his actual priority is, these things are going to come out. He put it better in his first try than his second; It’s not *to * expose someone, but that is what will happen.

I think a better alibi would have been to say that the bordello had one wing for executives and another for legislators and that Cheney didn’t belong in either one.

Is it news when a Republican is caught in one? Careful with that wrist - all that handwaving can cause carpal tunnel.

Lolol. You should do stand up.
Or become a glass-eyed street preacher.
Or both!

I’ll take that as a compliment if you mean I’m predictable in that I always offer a fair and balanced side to any story, instead of instantly jumping on the leftist bandwagons that take half the threads on this forum down the same damn path every single time.
Without people like me this forum wouldn’t have any political discourse, it’d have political circle-jerks.

Lol, did you miss the earlier part of the thread? I already responded to this exact comment. I even listed several of the beloved Dems who have been caught in scandals.
Not to mention good ol’ Dollar Bill Jefferson, also from Louisiana.
Flynt has not yet named any of the “20 or so” more Congresscritters he might nail. Perhaps some of them will be Dems.
It’s ironic a guy paralyzed from the waste down because of an assassination attempt said “payback is a bitch.” I bet he realizes that every morning when he gets up and notices he can’t feel anything below his waist.

How would that constitute “payback”?

In fact, you offer an opposing side. A needed opposing side, granted, but not fair and balanced any more than Der Trihs is.
From the ubiquitous Wikipedia:
No further comment.
Nothing to do with Flynt’s expose campaign, but a Pub state rep in Florida was just arrested for soliciting a prostitute. He offered $20 to be allowed to perform oral sex on an undercover (male) cop in a public men’s room.
No, he’s got you, guys, better just give it up. See, he’s gone and whipped an equivalence on yer asses (I’ll give ya’ll a minute to run look that up.) What that means is if he can prove than any Democrat ever provoked a scandal, it is therefore equivalent, and you lose. That’s a true fact, you could look it up. He’s got you. Screwed, blued, and tattooed.
You know, you’d think after that emails-to-pages scandal last year, horny pols would have learned to be more cautious.

Geez Hyde, you really gave the Way-Back Machine a workout to cobble together that list! I’m surprised you didn’t throw in Adam Clayton Powell. Five of those happened over 25 years ago, and correct me if I am wrong, was Torricelli ever convicted of anything?
