With the U.S. political scandal sheets dominated by presidential hopefuls (and the “Is she or isn’t she” buzz), who has time to raise a stink about Senator David Vitter? The Washington Post. And me.

Vitter, who ran for office on a “family values” platform, was more recently “outed” as a long-time client of prostitutes in his native New Orleans and in DC. And now he’s ducking public appearances since the noted “madam” Deborah Jean Palfrey has subpoenaed his testimony.

Personal declaration: I was born in a big, urban city on the proverbial “wrong side of the tracks” (Read: Democrat), then force-fed through 13 years of Catholic school (Republican). I went to college in New England (Democrat), then found God (Republican). I tried a career in the Arts (Democrat), and then got a real job and started paying taxes (Republican). I got married to a woman who, well, would charitably be described as an unreconstructed hippie (Democrat), and then we started having children and thinking beyond next Tuesday (Republican).

I think most Americans are at least as Politically confused as I am. But we all recognize a phony when we see one.

David Vitter: Big-time Washington faker. Phony. Hypocrite. Deceiver.

My wife is shocked. Really.
