Doing a Vitter #8, Part One

September 18, 2009 by Daily Kingfish

This Eighth Part of the Doing a Vitter series is going to focus on the Sinning Senator's penchant for breaking with the values of his purported faith - Christianity.

The Sinning Senator ran in 2004 on a family values platform, replete with commercials using his children as props. Then came the revelation that he was committed a "serious sin" in breaking the Seventh Commandment of his purported religious faith - Christianity:

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Unfortunately for the Sinning Senator, (as well as the rest of us), he just started breaking the Eighth or Ninth Commandment (depending on whether you're reading the Catholic Bible or the Catechism) to make up for not breaking the Seventh:

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You might be wondering what neighbor of the Sinning Senator's that I'm talking about ... it is ACORN, which the Sinning Senator has decided is the biggest threat to our Republic since the British invaded Washington D.C. all the way back in 1812.

ACTION: Rally for Health Care Reform

September 18, 2009 by Daily Kingfish

Big insurance gets richer by rationing and denying health care. Our elected officials are paying homage to big insurance rather than to us. We cannot afford to wait. We must demand NOW the American Plan which includes the public option. The public option is the only thing large enough and ready enough to bring down health care costs while creating competition for unfettered big insurance. In Louisiana, 2 companies control 74% of the market and everyday Louisianians have no say-so.

Please join us Wed, Sept 23 from 6 to 7 PM to show the nation and our elected officials that we want substantial health care reform NOW. Let's keep the momentum going! Please sign up for this gathering right away!

The Sinning Senator Wants You to Join a Dating Service?

Hat Tip to The Hill's In The Know:

Text messaging services are now a staple of well-run political campaigns, and they will be coming to Louisiana for the 2010 elections, as evidenced by the post linked to above from The Hill's In the Know. As with all new technology, pols shouldn't do it on the cheap, lest they endure embarrassing gaffes:

Hence the snickers when a political operative recently received a text message from the campaign of Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), he of Deborah Jeane Palfrey fame. Vitter's camp went with a cheap service, and his message included an ad for ... what else? A dating service.

"Is it true love?" asks the ad. The accompanying link guides users to a website where they can find out if their "crush" feels the same way about them; we're told "David" and "Deborah" is a match.

The Sinning Senator just can't escape the snickers about his sexual peccadilloes.
