I’m reminded of the crooked Democrat Governor, Edwin Edwards’ famous quip that he couldn’t or wouldn’t lose a Louisiana election unless he was “Caught in Bed with a Dead Girl or a Live Boy.” I think the same could be said regarding the electoral chances of Senator David Vitter.
Edwin Edwards flaunted his misdeeds and ultimately paid the price. He is still in the federal pen waiting on Dollar Bill to join him.
It was the corruption that did Edwards in not his philandering. Edwards biggest error in judgment politically was being photographed mocking Jesus’ crucifixion. He had put ketchup on his hands and with arms outstretched said “why is everyone crucifying me”, or thereabouts. (It was in John Maguinnis’ book The Last Hayride.) It was all downhill after that.
