Would Rather Pay Prostitutes

We all remember Louisiana Senator David Vitter. The moral crusader who describes himself as pro-life and a family values senator. Also the man who routinely paid prostitutes in the surrounding areas of New Orleans. Instead of resigning or going to jail like all Republicans do when confronted with such corruption, Vitter begged for forgiveness from the people of Louisiana and told them that he had spoken to God and that God had already forgiven him. Afterward he was given a standing ovation from the Republican caucus. And since then has risen to be a powerful GOP operative.

It's now appearing that David Vitter is almost single handily responsible for killing the Auto industry bailout loan. Here's what the United Auto Workers local president has to say about Vitter:
"I don't know what Sen. Vitter has against GM or the United Auto Workers or the entire domestic auto industry; whatever it is, whatever he thinks we've done, it's time for him to forgive us, just like Sen. Vitter has asked the citizens of Louisiana to forgive him, " said Johnson, president of Local 2166. Otherwise, Johnson said of Vitter, it would appear, "He'd rather pay a prostitute than pay auto workers."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
