Senator David Vitter (R-LA), whose career became mired in controversy back in 2007 when he became implicated in the D.C. Madam prostitution ring, is now calling upon Roland Burris to resign.
That’s right. Vitter is challenging someone else’s ethics and fitness to serve in the Senate.
In an interview with The Hill, Vitter dismissed any idea that his own personal scandals made him a hypocrite for calling upon Burris to quit. “I honestly don’t know anybody who would compare these situations,” he told The Hill on Tuesday. “They are dramatically different.”
There are differences, obviously. Burris’ scandal involves being metaphorically in bed with somebody.
