Tis the night before his election and all David Vitter wants to do is go to a conference with a bunch of dudes.

According to a report from The Advocate, Vitter will spend the final hours before his election at the “Real Men” conference — no women allowed.

A November University of New Orleans poll showed Vitter is down more than 20 points in the race against state Democratic Rep. John Bell Edwards.

One of the anticipated speakers will be former megachurch pastor Dino Rizzo who left the church he founded –Healing Place Church– in 2012 after he “got involved in the early stages of a brief but inappropriate friendship with another woman.”

In the frequently asked question section for the event at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center in Gonzales, Louisiana, men are advised to leave their daughters at home “due to the topics of discussion and our desire to create a safe place for men.”

You can, however, bring your son and clearly your last ditch campaign efforts, too.

    Sounds like a perfect fit for him. But inquiring minds want to know…

    …will there be strippers?

  2. “A Man Conference Is Where David Vitter Is Spending His Election Eve.”

    Or at least that’s how the charge will appear on his credit-card receipt.

  3. I thought you were gonna ask, “will there be diapers”?

    My god, if I ever express interest in going to a retreat like that… someone shoot me.

    Do strippers take credit cards? Where do… Never mind. I don’t want to know.

    What more is there to add.
