I knew I should have gone to the Vitter town hall when I got that card last week! See what I missed, below the fold:
The ongoing embarrassment that is Louisiana's junior senator, had a little Q&A with reporters today after a town hall meeting in Gonzales, Louisiana.
Vitter's constituents received a card last week announcing the town hall, inviting us to come hear the senator talk about jobs, health care, education, and all those other things we need attention to down here. But for the hapless Vitter, the day of the town hall also brought news that he may be called to testify on behalf of Deborah Palfrey, the "DC Madam".
When asked by the reporters about the Palfrey case, Vitter made his usual smarmy show of faux contrition, followed by an assurance that he intended to "stay hard at work". At that point, he must have realized that his day was rapidly going from bad to worse, and that it was high time to get the f#$% out of Dodge (actually, Honda in this case):
Somebody remind me again, Vitter is still in the Senate because why? RandySF has some thoughts about Vitter's situation being more precarious since Republican Governor Bobby Jindal took office in January, along with more details about the implications for Vitter of today's developments in the Palfrey case.
