Okay, the Sheriff wanted to embarrass you.

But that still doesn’t explain why the PI you hired was illegally recording that Sheriff’s conversations.

He is only able to embarrass you because you and your people got caught doing something illegal while pursuing petty political vendettas. If your PI hadn’t been doing that, there wouldn’t be any grounds for embarrassment.

If getting caught with a hooker and wearing a diaper didn’t embarrass you, this certainly won’t.

Well, David, maybe you wouldn’t be such an embarrassment to yourself and the state of Louisiana if you didn’t keep airing your dirty diapers.

Yet another fine upstanding Family Values Rethug getting no respect.

Vitter is almost as smart as Louis Gohmert.

Why? I mean, it seems like Louisianans actively prefer candidates with convictions or ongoing investigations. If I were a Republican candidate who wanted to win in Louisiana, I’d be trying to portray my opponent as a goody-two-shoes who don’t understand how bidness is done.

This is so much more embarrassing than being diapered by a hooker.

He’s the Typhoid Mary of embarrassment. He’ll never be embarrassed himself but many of his constituents might.

When a black guy ‘fled a coffee shop’ generally he just gets shot. However, when a P.I. does it and gets arrested, it’s only to embarrass Vitter? Hmmmmmmm.

Sorry, vitter.

Other people do not need to try to embarrass you. You do that too well, all by yourself!

What? You aren’t buying the implication that the Sheriff is to blame? Whern Vitter’s hired P.I. surreptitiously recorded the Sheriff’s conversations, guess who was there at the time. That’s right, the Sheriff was there and Vitter was nowhere near. Explain that, you potty-trained liberal.

Just so y’all understand, Louisiana has what is called a “jungle primary.” Everyone who electorially qualifies is on the ballot and if no one individual gets 50% of the vote, the top two go into a runoff. There is no single Democratic or Republican party candidate. This is how David Duke wound up on the ballot for governor of Louisiana against Edwin Edwards (hence the bumper stickers at the time: Vote for the Crook, It’s important). As often happens, there are a number of qualified candidates that poll below a fringe candidate and pull votes from one another, leaving the fringe candidate (in this case, Vitter) in a runoff with the other leading candidate, in this case John Bel Edwards (no relationship to Edwin Edwards or John Edwards). The fact that Edwards happens to be a Democrat is just happenstance, but folks from states with more sane primary/party rules might not get that. Anyway, two pretty good republican candidates (Jay Dardenne and Scott Angelle) neutralized one another and we have the David Duke equivalent (Vitter) as one of the two candidates for governor. Unfortunately, he might actually win if enough Republicans just reflexively pull the Republican ballot.

A former drinking buddy of mine, who was a Republican and native son of Louisiana, thought of it as, ‘everyone does it so why care.’ Granted, the last time I heard of him, his wife had taken their four kids in the divorce and he was heading to jail soon thereafter for embezzling from his company… and that was no bullshit.

I’m sure there are a lot of folks with integrity and generosity in Louisiana, it just doesn’t seem to be the majority of the electorate.

Actually, the Republicans are fully aware that the more educated one becomes, the more likely he/she is to vote Democrat. So it is (probably) no coincidence that the Republicans have done everything they can do gut higher education and destroy public schooling in Louisiana. Their long term strategy is “keep em uneducated and uninformed and they are more likely to vote for us.” It seems to be working.

So, the sheriff notices that someone in a coffee shop is illegally taping him. And he arrests him in order to embarrass Sen. Vitter.

Question: how does the sheriff know that that guy is a P.I. working for the senator? Does he carry a big sign “I work for Sen. Vitter”? Did he announce who his employer was to everyone in the coffee shop? Can the sheriff read minds? Quite a mystery to me. Perhaps Vitter would care to explain how the sheriff knew.

The real story here is that “Diaper Dave Vitters,” a national clown, a disgrace and a national punchline, is still capable of being embarrassed or even has the fear that he might be embarrassed!?!?!?!

Dave just wants everyone to pamper him!

For a change you can depend on…Dave Vitters! ~rimshot!~

Too easy
