"Unindicted co-conspirators"
Here's a nugget from the
7/11 Wapo describing U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler's consequential decision on July 5th to lift the restraining order on the phone logs of the "D.C. Madam":
The judge wondered why federal prosecutors "exhibited such a strong interest in protecting a list containing the telephone numbers of unindicted co-conspirators."
"Unindicted co-conspirators", huh? I wouldn't mind seeing that description used a bit more often.
Why should we cook the goose while her ganders enjoy amnesty?

And if you were tardy to the latest
Noladishu post on Vitty (as I was), go read it and click all the links. Here's one of the tastiest little morsels: "The stuff [the ladies of New Orleans high society] are saying puts the rumors on the deepest, darkest corners of the internet to shame." Yikes!

Love the "amnesty" reference. After Vitter's performance during the comprehensive immigration reform bill debate, we should be driving this connection home all to more forcefully. It's another way to expose the hypocrisy of Vitter.
No. Noooooo!!!! NOT the ladies of New Orleans High Society!
The goose gets cooked and the ganders get commutation of sentence.
Larry Flynt just showed up with a skewer and a bottle of barbecue sauce.
Larry Flynt got a letter and a video from me but I had to purchase a copy of Hustler to find his address aa he isn't as easy to locate as apparently Senator Vitter is.....
After communicating with him since 2005 I rather like the man--Senator Vitter that is....
Flynt wants to let it drip....drip....not a problem with me because I have no trouble sending him a letter and a "I'm Coming Home Video" each and every single day until I drive my point home as he apparently wants to do also.....Flynt needs to know that after mailing over 4,000 letters to Congress this stuff comes rather easy for me in fact I already have 260 stamps ready for a mass mailing and this time I am only going to target the Senate as Harry Reid wants to open a scandal of worms.....Not a problem with me....I faxed him a 10 page letter last night and told him that before the end of the 110th Congress I plan to mass mail another round of letters to the entire Congress and push over 1,200 letters through the mail in 1 day.....Say I won't do it!!!! I double dog dare you to!!!!
If Vitter won't resign out of shame then you it's up to his fellow Republicans to throw him out. Most GOP Sens are immune to hypocrisy charges but not all.
Sen. Brownback authored legislation on human trafficking and prostitution. Sen. Coburn introduced legislation banning the expenditure of foreign public health aid to any group that endorses "the practice" of prostitution, Sen. Cornyn says "[P]rostitution directly contributes to the modern-day slave trade and is inherently demeaning. When law enforcement tolerates . . . prostitution, organized crime groups are freer to traffic in human beings."
And on and on...
And Vitter gets welcomed back with open arms? Somebody should file an ethics complaint against him in the Senate caucus for using Congressional phones to contact escorts and vote to expel.
The issue isn't just hypocrisy by David Vitter, it's a hypocrisy by the Senate to give him a pass. There are over 400+ mentions of prostitution on Senate.gov - that's the Senate doing it's business trying to write policy to with regards to public health, criminal activity, and international relations. And David Vitter is just welcome back with open arms?
Maybe Vitter is stubborn as hell and will hold on but I doubt his colleagues like Susan Collins who are running for reelection in Maine want to be associated with a caucus that welcomes whoremongers with open arms.
If Vitter won't leave the party, get the party to throw his ass out.
Vitter *is* the party. He is the face of the party. He represents all that they do. So does Bush.
Maybe if the GOP figures out that we make that association, they'll do something.
And "unindicted co-conspirators" was a lyric in the Warren Zevon song "Genius". Just so's ya know.
