Flynt Unveiling More Vitter Claims

1 hour ago

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A former New Orleans prostitute who says she had an affair with Sen. David Vitter has passed a lie-detector test and will provide details of the four-month relationship at a press conference Tuesday, according to Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt.

Wendy Cortez, whose real name is Wendy Ellis, says she had a sexual relationship with Vitter, R-La., in 1999, when he was a state legislator.

Copies of the results of Cortez's polygraph test, which she took at Flynt's request, will be provided to reporters at the news conference at Flynt's office in Beverly Hills, Calif., Hustler said in a news release Monday.

Vitter spokesman Joel Digrado wouldn't comment on the Flynt news conference. In an e-mail, Digrado said, "Sen. Vitter and his wife have addressed all of this very directly. The senator is focused on important Louisiana priorities like the water resources bill and the Iraq debate."

1. What else was going on in 1999?

Oh yeah, Republicans were impeaching a popularly elected President for having extra-marital sex. And Vitter was pious enough to broadcast his outrage of this guy's dalliances. Wonder whose toes Craig was tapping back then?

[hang a left]

2. Flynt must want to keep this in the news.

Wish he would find some fresher meat.

[pacalo]

3. At least this news has put to rest my worry that Flynt had been hushed up.

I was beginning to wonder if he got paid off or threatened since we heard nothing more.

But, yes, I'd like to hear about the others, too.

[hang a left]

4. Well it didn't seem to do much the first time around...

Too bad the affair didn't take place in an airport bathroom.

[jberryhill]

16. Flynt - paid off?

With what would one "pay off" Larry Flynt? The man has enormous wealth that is, in certain respects, useless to him.

[hang a left]

21. Uhhhhh

think you replied to the wrong post.

[jberryhill]

24. wouldn't be the first time.....

Wrong post! Heck, half the time I'm on the wrong internet in the wrong universe.

[hang a left]

25. Not to worry...

I have done even weirder things here.

[Mike Daniels]

44. He doesn't have anything better which is why he's still pushing Vitter

No-one in LA seems to care and Flynt seems to have blown his wad with little results.

[Spazito]

29. LOL and Vitter's wife said she would perform a "Bobbit" if it were

her husband, taking a shot at Hillary. My how the definition of "Bobbit" has changed from the Ginzu knife to the submissive wife role. Go figure.

[David Zephyr]

5. I keep saying this: Senate Rules require Vitter be investigated by the Ethics Committee.

I've posted the Senate's rules and regulations here. Vitter's situation clearly requires oversight by the ethics committee.

The double standard between Sen. Craig --- who can be easily replaced by another Republican --- and Senator Vitter --- who would most likely be replaced by a Democrat by Louisiana's Governor --- are glaring and obvious.

Kudos to Larry Flynt who knows where to focus: Senator David Vitter.

[pokercat999]

6. Why would anyone care? The president of the US is a

f---ing war criminal and we worry about this crap?

[SpiralHawk]

8. Because Americans are weary of republicon homelander lies, hypocricy, and deviancy

They are just disgusting -- and Americans know it now

[gateley]

13. I agree in theory, but I do like the idea of the R's being outed to help maybe

persuade their followers that they've been consistently lied to -- especially with the heavy emphasis on the family Christian values.

[pokercat999]

18. The Kool-aide drinkers think it was a setup by the Dems

and he is a totally innocent, respectable "family" man. OOPS wrong thread.

[pitohui]

14. w,out so many GOP in senate president couldn't keep being a fucking war criminal

so yes i do care about this crap

vitter is a waste of oxygen and needs to resign immediately if not sooner

you'd feel a lot differently if you had the honor of being "represented" by the whore-mongering piece of shit

vitter is one of those opposed to gay marriage and he did fuck-all to help this state get money after katrina

he is an embarrassment to himself, his family, his state, his country

and he needs to go, and if he refuses to go when asked nicely, hell yes, it's high time wendy cortez went public with this, she should have done it a LONG time ago

[bunkerbuster1]

39. Yes, and remember--One more Dem Senator is HUGH.

Ride Vitter out on a rail now and he's replaced with a Dem, which makes Joementum unable to throw hissy-fits and have his way after threatening to officially change from "I" to "R", thus throwing the Senate into an official tie.

That's all it would take to have our committees sharing power with Goopers. With Vitter replaced by a Dem, Joe would be neutralized.

That would be HUGH. Really, it would.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

15. Honestly, this isn't about us

We already know that the Republican party is filled with liars, criminals and hypocrites.

This is for those who support them, who voted for them, so that they might begin to see how they've been lied to and betrayed.

I don't ever expect them to switch sides or any such thing. The best I'm hoping for is that enough of them will stay home, or support a third party choice in 2008.

Dissent among their ranks only works to our advantage.

[defendandprotect]

23. So true ...!!!! What a joke --- !!!!!

Are we all thinking that we must expose the right wing to itself and then it will fold???

No, it won't --

The right wingers are simply dishonest, cheating, foul, vile people who can never be brought to any true accountability?

But it is kinda fun to see them exposed to reassure ourselves about who these people truly are --

They are disgusting -- !!!

[bunkerbuster1]

40. Vitter's outster is extremely important, actually.

See my other posts on this, in this thread. This isn't a joke.

If we can get this hypocrite/perv ridden out on a rail, we must do it, with everything we've got. If it takes a Flynt to make it happen, fine by me.

The Goopers wouldn't hesitate, as the Rude Pundit put it, to go Rove on his ass. We shouldn't either.

[Bluebear]

28. Louisianans deserve to know that their Senator pays women to change his dirty diaper.

Then he goes to DC to legislate what other people can and can't do in the bedroom.

[bunkerbuster1]

38. Echoing pitohui, and adding this

One of the reasons (among many, granted) our Dems haven't been able to play the kind of hardball we want with the Liar-in-Chief is because Joe Lieberman has been able to hold the threat of making it official, i.e., switching from Independent to “R”. This would create an official 50-50 tie with the VP casting the deciding vote in a tie breaker… all committeeships would be shared with Goopers, yadda yadda.

Hammering Vitter now, rather than later, means he could be forced to resign and be replaced with a Dem. This is time-sensitive, actually, because there will be an election in LA come Nov., and it’s quite possible that we’ll lose that one. At which point Vitter’s resignation would be meaningless, because it’d be a Gooper appointing a replacement.

So yeah, this is extremely important, right now.

[EST]

51. Committeships would not be shared with the party of

deceit: at the beginning of the congress the rules establish who's in charge and that condition obtains until the end of that congress. This does not always hold true, as those rules are of fairly recent origin, but, in this case, it does.
The Gross old Perverts would have to force a change in the rules and a re-selection of committee heads and that is extremely unlikely, unless a dozen or more dems absconded to the other party and then forced the changes.

[fedupfisherman]

48. Nobody cares

I see no outrage at Vitter in the GOP.

[aquart]

50. Oh, that's the cigarette argument.

Why make a fuss about smoking when air pollution's so much worse.

Doesn't work. Give it up.

[AlCzervik]

7. bet Vitter needs a diaper change right about now.

[Joanne98]

11. LOL

[HootieMcBoob]

9. It's raining hypocritical Republican men!

Way to go Larry Flynt! I hope he has a lot more in the pipeline.

[quiet.american]

10. They just keep comin' don't they! (so to speak). n/t

[Joanne98]

12. GAWD BLESS LARRY FLYNT!

[Quakerfriend]

17. I heard Larry say, on Larry King (CNN) that he intends to

release the 'juciest' stuff he's got right before the next election.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

20. Oh, how I hope this is true

Even if it's not, I know that there's more than a couple of Republicans up for reelection in 2008 who are sweating right now.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

26. Perhaps this has something to do with a few prominent R's deciding not to run again in '08...

hhmmmm....

edit: spelling :eyes:

[tanyev]

41. Aha!

You could be on to something there.

:think:

[funkybutt]

19. Go Wendy

[Devil Dog Dem]

22. "important Louisiana priorities . . ."

important Louisiana priorities like the water resources bill and the Iraq debate."

Umhh, how about New Orleans? You know, the city that was lost on y'alls watch?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

27. Damn good points!

Let's deal with the real issues here!

[razzleberry]

30. how do we know who, if anyone, was hooked up to the lie detect

detector machine?

[aquart]

31. I suspect Flynt has signed and notarized affidavits for all of it.

His goal is to have hard, irrefutable evidence so that he cannot be sued for malicious slander or whatever the charge is.

[razzleberry]

32. yup. I automatically believe this guy

not

[Orsino]

37. The polygraph does not yield hard evidence.

It's fake science.

[funkybutt]

33. New Orleans prostitute tied to Vitter passes lie detector test

Source: Times Picayune, New Orleans

Weeks after U.S. Sen. David Vitter tried to discredit her allegations, a woman who used to work as a prostitute in New Orleans passed a lie detector test averring that she had a "sexual relationship" with Vitter that lasted at least four months.

Magazine publisher Larry Flynt paid for the woman to take the polygraph test, and he plans to hold a news conference with her at his Beverly Hills office today to unveil the results and challenge the senator to submit to a polygraph.

-snip-

The woman, Wendy Yow Ellis, claims that she had intercourse with Vitter in a French Quarter apartment at Dauphine and Dumaine streets in 1999, the year the Metairie Republican was elected to Congress.

-snip-

For her part, Ellis said she took the polygraph test because it irks her that people who saw Vitter's denial in the newspaper might see her as "a two-bit whore when I'm the one telling the truth."

[funkybutt]

34. Sorry! Dupe

[BadgerLaw2010]

35. Of course a prostitute could pass one. Lie detector tests measure nerves, not truth.

Pseudoscience at its worst. Sociopathic people pass them, innocent but nervous people fail them.

[MsKandice01]

36. So prostitute = sociopath?!?

That's news to me.

[tanyev]

42. Yep. I had to take one before I started working at a sheriff's office.

I found the process of the test itself very unnerving. I passed, but by the third run-through the guy giving the test said I was starting to react on a couple of the questions. Maybe now that I know how they're administered (different from what you see on TV), it wouldn't get to me so much if I had to take another one.

[aquart]

49. How very certain you are.

[Ian David]

43. Wasn't Vitter's wife supposed to keep her promise cut his penis off by now? n/t

[Jacobin]

45. I guess she flip flopped

Oh, wait. That didn't come out right.

[rocktivity]

46. He couldn't have put it off for one more day?

I don't think 9/11 is the most appropriate choice, if only because he won't get the media attention this deserves.
