New Orleans political blog: New Vitter rumor.
A few weeks ago one of my contacts heard that members of the RNC employed in D.C. were confident that the media was about to break another hooker story on Vitty-cent. This one involved an alleged $200k payoff Vitter made to his "baby mama" in Virginia.

Mark Kleinman has reported that former French Quarter prostitute Wendy Cortez now lives in Alexandria Virginia, with Vitter's child. (Nearly three years ago, Kos said Vitter had a love child, but it wasn't with Cortez.)

Now, obviously the story didn't break as the RNC members expected. Nor has Larry Flynt presented any new information on Vitter, despite claiming numerous New Orleans hookers (including Wendy Cortez) were linked to the Senator. But this particular rumor interested me because

1) The RNC was concerned
2) the $200k in "hush money" was a specific detail and
3) the Virginia angle corroborated what Kleinman has reported.

1. Sp of there is truth to this story, why didn't it get reported?
Are they waiting for Larry to do it?

2. It's being talked about on the LA blogs...
but not in the MSM.

I really don't know the answer to your question.

11. I hope this breaks soon.
I'm kinda disappointed over how the whole Vitter thing has died down. :(

13. That makes sense. Her ex-boyfriend hinted that her interest in Vitter was more than professional.
In the reports that repeated the interview with him, he spoke
of finding pictures of her and Vitter together.

I think everyone was so focused on the hope that he still had
the pictures, that we all missed the subtext. The guy said that
the pictures gave him the vibe that she and Vitter were more than
just "client and service provider".

And the pics themselves, as he described them, weren't any sort
of x-rated bordello shots. They were pics of the pair fully clothed
and "out and about"; the sort of snapshots people might save of
someone they had dated.

19. I'd love for those photos to surface.
But, yeah, I hadn't thought about her boyfriend's statements. The puzzle pieces are falling into place, eh?

20. Well, he said he tossed them out soon after he found them.
Unless she still has the original negatives, they're gone forever.

22. I remember that.
Hopefully someone has a photo hidden somewhere.

I wonder if that $200K not only included her silence, but also nondisclosure of photos.

23. I think she's smart enough to know when she's playing Chess, not checkers.
I'll give it a 50/50 chance that she still has those negatives
in a very safe place somewhere.

And if they still exist, she's dangling them in a VERY QUIET bidding war
between Vitter and Flynt at this very moment.

Edit...I wonder when Larry and the Madame will drop some more names? I keep thinking any day now...
