Republican Senator David Vitter (R-LA) is so sorry that his phone number is there for all the world to see in the now public phone records of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the "DC Madam."
The Republican says he's cool now, he talked to his wife, he talked to god, he's sorry for the sin, yada yada yada.
You won't be surprised to hear that the Republican campaigned on a promise to protect the sanctity of marriage. The conservative senator was a co-author of the "Federal Marriage Act" -- an act which had absolutely nothing to do with Senator Vitter's marriage!
During his Senate campaign, Vitter was accused by a member of the Louisiana Republican State Central Committee of carrying on a lengthy affair with a prostitute in New Orleans's French Quarter. In a radio interview, Vitter then called the allegation "absolutely and completely untrue" and dismissed it as "just crass Louisiana politics."
Vitter was the first senator to endorse former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani for president and serves as the campaign's Southern regional chairman.
Update: See 13 years worth of phone records at the DC Madam's website.
