Temper Tantrum
Edit
On March 12, 2009 David Vitter attempted to open security door at Washignton Dulles Airport during a " do you know who I am?" temper tantrum. News Report
Family ValuesEdit
Elected to that office in 2004 to fill the seat left open by the retirement of John Breaux after campaigning on Louisiana Family Values, Vitter was embarrassed by the revelation that his telephone number was one of the many released by the firm Pamela Martin & Associates, a Washington DC escort service operated by Miz Julia or Pamela Jeane Palfrey. Federal prosecutors have alleged that Palfrey's firm provided $300 per hour prostitutes. In February 2007 a Federal grand jury indicted her on federal racketeering charges. The telephone numbers were released in what appears retaliation for the unfairness of prosecuting sex workers but not the elites who use their services.
In addition to Vitter's admission that he had sinned in the past by using the services provided by Pamela Martin & Associates, a New Orleans brothel owner has asserted that the Senator was a client during the mid-1990s.
