Why am I 100% certain that many of those calling for the resignation of Anthony Weiner were not as vocal about David Vitter resigning?
Now, I'm sure one or two will pop up and say "I did", but you will be in the minority. We know that the Republican legislators and pundits that are calling for Weiner's resignation DID NOT demand that Vitter (who was also re-elected in his District) step down.
Funny that...
To be quite truthful with you, I don't even remember the Vitter scandal.
I remember Craig and I do remember calling for him to step down.

I don't remember it either. Ravi dragged it up.
It is an outlier compared to how most scandals in the GOP have been handled in recent years. And personally, I think prostitution should be legalized as it is a form of relationship between consenting adults. I don't put the Vitter situation in the same one as Weiner's due to the latters bizarro lying and hacking accusations...as well as the internet pics, which really are beyond the pale.
As I said from the beginning...It's Not The Crime, It's The Coverup.
Whether or not prostitution should be legalized, and I am of the mind set that it should be, it was illegal at the time and immoral.
Someone just said Vitter admitted to his error. Perhaps that is why the scandal died so quickly? Had Weiner just admitted it, except for the "ittsy bitsy" jokes that were bound to come out of this, I think the issue would be dead already.
