Louisiana Senator Faces More Brothel Claims

(CBS News) NEW ORLEANS New allegations tie Sen. David Vitter to a high-priced brothel in his hometown, one day after he publicly apologized for his connection to an alleged prostitution ring in Washington, D.C.

On Monday, Vitter acknowledged being involved with the so-called D.C. Madam, hours after Hustler magazine told him his telephone number was among those she disclosed. A day later, new revelations linked him to a former madam in New Orleans and old allegations that he frequented a former prostitute resurfaced, further clouding his political future.

Jeanette Maier on Tuesday said Vitter was once a client of the Canal Street brothel. She pleaded guilty to running the operation in 2002. Vitter won his seat in the U.S. Senate in 2004.

Saying he was a "decent guy" who appeared to be in need of company when he visited the brothel, Maier added unexpected details to a scandal enveloping the first-term Republican.

"As far as the girls coming out after seeing David, all they had was nice things to say. It wasn't all about sex. In fact, he just wanted to have somebody listen to him, you know. And I said his wife must not be listening," Maier said in an interview with The Associated Press.

It wasn't all about sex.

Kinda like when they tell you it's not about the money - - it's about the money.

You can download the entire list of phone numbers from the DC madam’s site here. Apparently the media is only interested in one man so I guess it’s up to us.

There are no names, only numbers but they may offer some clues.

my favorite line in the story was how she said she came forward to help vitter’s reputation.

I’m not interested in finding out who else is on the list. At least not interested enough to do the work myself.

Vitter is just the first among many. And I suspect that some in DC screaming the loudest likely have just as much,or more, to hide.

Glass. Houses. Stones.

You know the drill.

It's good to keep it in the district, no?

Hey it’s not like he had sex with an intern in the oval office, after all.

you know that unless it’s a cell number, it is relatively easy to back trace who the numbers belong to.

www.superpages.com Just type in the number, and it shows whether it is an unlisted number, and who it belongs to.

I guess the only relevant question at this point is: can he hold out long enough for Jindal to win the Governor's race this Fall and fill his seat with another Republican?

My guess to that question would be ===> Uh...nope...I doubt he lasts until Labor Day. Which means the rats pick up a Senate seat.

Legalize prostitution like in Nevada...no crime, ability for taxation, less diseases.
Sex police? With my tax dollars? no thanks.

If there are some 1300 names on the list and a quarter are republicans, the media can concentrate on one republican a week, they could keep this up for months without ever mentioning a democrat.

I don’t know about that.... There’s no accompanying sex scandal on the national front for him to “lead by example” in resignation, and I’m thinking many of the citizens here will be quite angry if he steps down, given that we’ve finally gotten a Republican in the Senate. We have no desire to return, believe me.

Ever Google your own home phone? ...or a friend or relative?

If you ever get a new land line, make sure it is unpublished or Google with have your name and a map to your house.

Keep in mind that sleazoid Flynt has one of his *gentlemen's* clubs in N.O. I'd expect a number of honey traps for zipper-challenged republicans wherever his establishments are located.
