It’s often been observed that the essence of politics in the Bush-Cheney-Rove era was to attack your opponent over your own weaknesses, and to campaign on the opponent’s own strengths — for example, the 2004 Republican campaign attacked Vietnam War veteran John Kerry as a military coward, while campaigning on the bravery of an incumbent who got out of combat duty.
In that spirit, take a look at this new Web video from Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), attacking his potential opponent Charlie Melancon, a Blue Dog Democratic Congressman, for raising money in Massachusetts. It’s entitled “Liberal LuvFest”:
And speaking of love-fests and people doling out cash…David Vitter was identified in 2007 as having slept with prostitutes, and admitted to an unspecified “serious sin.”
