DC Madam Client Sen. Vitter Has Rough Day Back at Work


Senator Vitter had a rough first day back at work. The Republican doesn't want to talk about how many call girls he spent his family values nights with, but reporters chased him down the senatorial hallways anyway.

Politico reports:

At 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) made his post-scandal debut on Capitol Hill.

He emerged at a Commerce subcommittee hearing, took several swigs from a Starbucks cup, asked a question of the witnesses, sat for another 30 minutes as the media multiplied, and then bolted. Literally, he bolted through a maze of offices and popped out a door halfway down the hall.

Vitter was trapped, and he knew it -- or heard it: the reporters with boom mikes and in high heels chasing after him. . .

Back turned to the cameras, Vitter walked down the stairs, out the door and into a white SUV. As he pulled away, reporters quipped that Vitter should be thankful his staff didn't put him in a white Bronco.

Larry Flynt suggests that Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) will soon have some sympathic company. Flynt says he has the sex scandal goods on yet another U.S. Senator.
