In honor of The Cure’s iconic song, “Friday, I’m in Love,” the Louisiana Democratic Party released a list of things Senator David Vitter loves:
-
“Very Serious Sin”: Senator Vitter has spent years repeating his oft-mocked line that he committed a “very serious sin.” He must really love “Very Serious Sin” to talk about it so often – instead of telling Louisianians the truth.
-
Washington, DC: Vitter has spent 16 years in Washington, DC enjoying the perks of being a Member of Congress. In fact, he loves Washington so much that he skipped almost every debate to be there, even when the Senate was not in session.
-
‘The World’s Oldest Profession’: Vitter’s support of women working in the world’s oldest profession – from the floor of Congress to Canal Street in New Orleans – is his most widely known, defining love. He’s a man with nearly universal name recognition, most of it bound up with one lurid allegation after another.
-
Insiders and Lobbyists: From “Casino” Jack Abramoff to thousands of dollars in contributions from Washington insiders and lobbyists, it’s clear David Vitter loves campaign contributions from the most well-off in Washington.
-
Pay-to-Play Schemes: Vitter clearly appreciates a good financial transaction and so does his campaign. Before the primary election was even finished, his lobbyist pals were already leaning hard on donors to replenish his obscene fundraising accounts.
