“In Your Face” Hypocrisy!

“…politicians deserve forgiveness when they err and repent”

Republicans defending prostitution-patron, Louisiana Sen. David Vitter… what the hell do they stand for again? I keep hearing high morals and ethics, but I’m not seeing it! The party of family values are everything but!

Where were these “defenders of super-minor mistakes” when Clinton ran the country? Oh, that’s right…

From a Yahoo! News article:

Several GOP colleagues in Washington and Louisiana have rallied to Vitter’s side, saying REPUBLICANS politicians deserve forgiveness when they err and repent.
[...]

Roger Villere, chairman of the Louisiana Republican Party, said Friday he had tried to get in touch with Vitter without success. Villere said he’d been inundated with e-mails from Republicans, most of them supporting Vitter. A “vocal minority” is voicing opposition, he said.
[...]

Vitter’s allies say they will try to help him regain some of his luster.

“The past conduct that Sen. Vitter has acknowledged and taken responsibility for is serious and disappointing,” Rep. Richard Baker, R-La., said in a statement Friday, “but it does not define the whole of the man, and it is not irredeemable.”
