New Orleans Madam Claims Vitter was Once a Client
Source: WAFB TV Baton Rouge

(snip)"Louisiana U.S. Senator David Vitter has now reportedly been linked to a second brothel, this one based on Canal Street in New Orleans. Just Monday night, Vitter admitted to a, "serious sin,' regarding an escort service based out of Washington, D.C. The Vitter sex scandal is even making news 9,000 miles away. WAFB's Jim Shannon has more on the senator's so-called "sin."

WDSU-TV aired a story Tuesday night on the New Orleans brothel owner Jeanette Maier. She says Vitter was once a client at her brothel and paid $300 an hour. With all of this going on, one sure loser will be the Republican Party, which was hoping to cash in on Vitter's star power in the upcoming elections. His clean-cut, family values image may never be the same on Capitol Hill following the admission of Senator David Vitter's apparent indiscretion. Back home, political observers are keeping a close eye on the national scene to see how the "Vittergate" scandal will play out. Political analyst Jim Engster says, "If it were going to be a garden-variety sex scandal, I think he would survive it. He may very well survive this, but this does have the potential of it being a crime." (end snip)

1. WAFB impressive as usual.
He's gone.

Look for his resignation in the next couple days if not tomorrow.

WAFB is part of one of the last remaining family-owned media companies in a mid-sized market.

31. he won't resign, his patronage of prostitutes locally known for years
i have never understood why the democrats haven't made more issue of it but everyone, including the wife windy who supposedly made the lorena bobbit quote, has been aware of his escapades for many many years

hell many years ago i heard that he got dinged for child support for some whore's child, probably a matter of public record somewhere, kid might be in high school by now

his wife has always known, his voters have always known

for some reason it's okay if you're a republican :shrug:

livingston resigned because of the s/m angle which was just a little too undignified even for his boot licking ways

2. There is a very good documentary
about this brothel and the legal case that closed it down. They had a very powerful client list. I think that most people are going to believe this woman.

14. Madam defends Vitter: Calls him "good man"
" At the New Orleans brothel, Maier said Vitter spent time with several women, but preferred one in particular named Wendy. She said all the girls that were with Vitter described him as a kind, respectful man, who did not talk down to them or use drugs.

"I'm not out to ruin a marriage, I'm out to save a man," Maier said. "I want his wife to know he's a good man, I want his children to know he's a good father. If he had sex out of wedlock, so what? At least he stayed with his children."

They always find a way to spin their own scandals.

She's writing a book. I guess she's only including the Johns who were not "good men".

22. Ya gotta admit thought..
...a madame would see people without the masks, so to speak.
The guys who come in for a bit of illicit horizontal bop or a blow job but are otherwise on the straight and narrow; i.e. well-behaved are probably a joy to have for customers.

It's the guys who hate women, who think that because they've paid for her time, they OWN her for that length of time, and so can treat her like property. A thing. Not really human or deserving of the basic respect we're supposed to show other humans.
Some of these guys must be a nightmare.:scared:

29. I would agree with the Madam on general principle, except that Vitter was a morals crusader
and he was a supporter of DOMA. People like Vitter don't deserve a break!

He always paid his bar tab, with a nice little tip. He is a veritable saint.

27. Awesome Video Like WAFB is famous for......
Click on the link above his picture(Sex Scandal). I wish some enterprising DU-er would get this on YouTube or capture the Video so it may not expire....
(specially since we are looking at a Jindal governor campaign here, with his Mega$ mostly from out of state..)

http://wafb.com/Global/story.asp?S=6771220

So far, at least two madams and mistresses,....

34. LOL. Yea they are all kinky and guilt ridden and can't enjoy a
normal healthy adult sex life. They are such warmongers because they have no sexual release. GW is probably inpotent from all that booze.
