US senator admits 'serious sin'

Mr. Vitter seems to think that his "sin" was visiting a prostitute, and that's what he's apologizing for. But that isn't it. His sin was was the rank hypocrisy of bashing gays for attempting to "destroy marriage" while doing his level best to destroy his own. His sin was stopping off for an evening of fun with a call girl after having spent the day thumping for "family values".

A hypocrite is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation.
-- Adlai E. Stevenson

If there's a rule for living a moral life, it's "Mean what you say, and do what you mean." Simple. And Mr. Vitter obviously doens't get it at all.

A Louisiana senator publicly apologises for "a serious sin" after his name is linked to an alleged Washington prostitution ring.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
