Burris Told To Resign By...David Vitter
Senator David Vitter (R-LA), whose career became mired in controversy back in 2007 when he became implicated in the D.C. Madam prostitution ring, is now calling upon Roland Burris to resign.
That's right. Vitter is challenging someone else's ethics and fitness to serve in the Senate.
In an interview with The Hill, Vitter dismissed any idea that his own personal scandals made him a hypocrite for calling upon Burris to quit. "I honestly don't know anybody who would compare these situations," he told The Hill on Tuesday. "They are dramatically different."
There are differences, obviously. Burris' scandal involves being metaphorically in bed with somebody.

I love it! The guy who has admitted to breaking the law and refuses to resign, is demanding that the guy accused of breaking the law, resign!
Where do these guys get those balls?

Comedians don't even have to work anymore - you couldn't write shit this hilarious.
Isn't Vitter being challenged by a porn star?

Burris should say something to the effect I've been a senator since you were in diapers, and I've only been a senator a few weeks...

Anyone ever figure out how Deborah Jeane Palfrey got dead ?
Her mother found her body hanging from a rope in the garden shed. And that was the end of that scandal.
Does everyone believe this was a suicide ? 100 % sure ?
Bruce Ivans killed himself too - end of the anthrax scandal. Neat !
Who's next ?

Well, add Michael Connell to the list: the Bush IT guru implicated in the rigging of the 2000 and 2004 elections was killed Dec 19 in a mysterious single engine plane crash 3 miles short of the Akron runway. Connell had finally been supoeneaed to testify before an Ohio court on the 2004 election. He had told a colleague that he was prepared to tell all, rather than be "thrown under the bus" by Bush and Cheney.

No wonder he's become a GOP spokesman. If you're willing to defiantly stay in the public eye when you're a family values Republican who was outed as a serial prostitute patron with a diaper fetish, I guess it goes without saying you've got the requsite shamelessness and brazenness for the gig.

The more Vitter speaks out in public as a voice of the GOP, the better this country will be in 2010 and beyond.

Wow, this is the only reason for Burris not to resign.

Democrats would be wise to make Vitter the poster child for the Republican Party. His hypocrisy re: family values reveals the core venality of the GOP, a corrupt philosophical argument for privilege and noblesse oblige.
Likewise go head on against all of the other conservative hypocrites: Rush Limbaugh would be target number one. You won't convince many in his audience (no reasoning with the brain-dead), but they don't number enough to win an election.
