vitter lessons

Conservatives will immediately yell Clinton! when liberals point at Vitter and laugh, but there is a fundamental difference between Clinton's sexual indiscretion and Vitter's: Vitter paid for his.

And this makes Vitter's sins more forgivable to conservatives, especially conservative men, especially conservative men in that bar drinking a beer with the president. If you're a married man, and sex is offered and accepted, that's infidelity. If you buy the sex, that's a business transaction. The exchange of currency between a conservative and a whore buys the right to be a moral censor of consensual sex between a liberal and a slut.

As always with conservatives, it's all about a woman's sexual freedom. In the hierarchy of blowhard pigdom, the bitch at home is tops, the bitch whore second, and then the sluts.
