Indeed RC. I seriously doubt this is the only or even remotely the highest ranking fundy on the list.

Well said, Elizabeth.

This wouldn't even be news except for the hypocrisy. But if the politician is going to make it his business to enforce his religious superstitions about sex and morality on the rest of us, then it goes without saying that he has made his own sex life our business.

On to the new details...

Whoops.

Another former madam on Tuesday said Vitter had also used her service.

"David Vitter has visited with my girls, and he has to be one of the nicest men and most honorable men I have ever met," Jeanette Maier, known as the Canal Street madam of New Orleans, told CNN affiliate WDSU.

Maier's business, the Canal Street Brothel, was shut down by federal indictments in 2002 and Maier took a plea deal.

Maier's attorney, Vinnie Mosca, told WDSU that he has "absolutely no recollection of David Vitter's name ever appearing on any document, book, or list, or having any association with the Canal Street Brothel or Jeanette."

Mosca also told WDSU that "Miss Maier misspoke," but later told CNN that he was referring to a claim that Vitter's name appears in Maier's "black book."

Vitter is the first lawmaker known to be linked to Palfrey's business, though State Department official Randall Tobias -- who promoted abstinence education as head of the Bush administration's effort to curb the spread of AIDS -- resigned in May after confirming he patronized Palfrey's business.

And just to add insult to injury, it turns out that Larry Flint (yes, the Larry Flint) may have been the one responsible for Vitter's getting busted. That's gotta sting.
