In today's Vitter news (shown above with Rudy Giuliani during a visit to New Orleans):
E.J. Dionne, of all people offers a limited defense of Vitter. I heartily agree, except for the part about giving conservative hypocrites a complete pass. Don't go overboard, but point out the hypocrisy.
Best line in the piece comes courtesy of a conservative:
Kate O'Beirne, the conservative writer, deserves a place in the annals of political commentary for her remark on the divorce rate among the top Republican presidential contenders. She noted that the only one with "only one wife would be the Mormon," Mitt Romney.
Ignoring Dionne's advice, Lousiana Democrats plan to call for Vitter's resignation. That's a mistake that will come back to bite them in the long run -- particularly because this is Louisiana.
Meanwhile, Sen. Jim DeMint says he's talked to Vitter, who is apparently at home with his family, and the senator plans to return to work on Tuesday.
Vitter, politics, midtopia

It's time to leave the guy alone. It's done; it's over. IF his constituents want to kick him out----it's their business.
I've been hearing he's a pretty good Senator and we need good Senators.
