Vitter?
Edited on Wed Mar-12-08 09:42 PM by SHRED

No they didn't call for impeachment...ya see Repukes only get indignant when it is a Dem who gets in sex trouble.

Reaction

While the Louisiana state Republican Party offered guarded support,<111> national Republicans offered forgiveness.<112> The liberal magazine, The Nation, predicted that the Republican Party would be in a "forgiving mood" pointing out if Vitter did step down, Democratic Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco would likely appoint a Democrat to take Vitter's place until a special election took place, thus increasing Democratic control over the Senate.<113><114><115> Margaret Carlson of Bloomberg News agreed, saying that since there is a Democratic governor in Louisiana, "they were afraid if they slapped around Vitter too much, that seat would go Democratic."<116>

2. yes...

Vitter stayed on with Repuke support.

Big difference.

3. Why didn't the Louisiana Dems raise Hell?
The Dems are the real forgivers. Never reciprocated, though.
