The story that U.S. Senator David Vitter (R-LA) hoped would go away refuses to die, thanks to the persistence of Hustler publisher Larry Flynt. Yesterday, he announced that former New Orleans prostitute Wendy Yow Ellis, also known as Wendy Cortez, had passed a polygraph test administered by an international lie detector expert, Edward Gelb, former President of the American Polygraph Association. Cortez claims that she had a four month paid relationship at a French Quarter hotel with Vitter in 1999 while he was a State Representative. The polygraph test shows she is telling the truth. According to Mr. Gelb, the chances that Cortez is being untruthful are less than .01 percent.
Today, Flynt will hold a news conference with Cortez to provide more information about her claims. These accusations are nothing new to many of us who follow Louisiana politics. Starting in 1999, I heard reports that congressional candidate and then State Representative David Vitter was a client of a local prostitute named Wendy Cortez. According to GOP State Central Committee member Vincent Bruno, who worked in the campaign of former Governor Dave Treen, Cortez approached him and other Treen volunteers with her claims about a relationship with Vitter. She was upset that Vitter was campaigning for Congress on a family values platform. Eventually, Treen decided not to use the salacious information in his campaign and Vitter was elected.
Despite Vitter’s election to Congress, the prostitute story persisted. It was brought up during a 2002 interview that I conducted with Vitter on my radio show. He was asked directly about his relationship with Wendy Cortez and he denied it. Listen to the audio and decide for yourself whether he was telling the truth-- VITTER RESPONDS ON RINGSIDE RADIO
This interview was Vitter’s first public denial of a relationship with prostitute Wendy Cortez. In a 2004 radio interview, Vitter also denied being involved with Cortez. His most recent denial occurred on July 16 at a Metairie, LA press conference standing next to his wife when he claimed that “those New Orleans stories” were untrue. He did admit to a “very serious sin” and did not deny that his phone number appeared on the call list of the D.C. Madam, but he refused to address the New Orleans stories.
Was he lying in 2002, 2004 or in July? Either way, Vitter needs to clear up this situation. His constituents need to know the truth. He owes it to the people who are paying his salary and those who he represents in the United States Senate.
With this new revelation, Vitter faces a crucial leadership test. Will he continue to stonewall and deny the accusations or will he come clean and admit the truth? It seems pretty obvious that Vitter was involved with Cortez and possibly other prostitutes in New Orleans. It was likely a pattern of behavior that Vitter engaged in for several years both in New Orleans and WashingtonD.C. and did not just start when he was elected to Congress and started to work on Capitol Hill.
In responding, Vitter does not need to go through hoops for Larry Flynt, and take his lie detector test; however, he does need to be honest about his activity. If Vitter admits that he frequented prostitutes and had a problem, but sought counseling from his priest and forgiveness from his wife, then the voters of Louisiana will likely forgive him as well. Yet, if he continues to deny the accusations and refrain from discussing these serious allegations then he is only harming his Senate career and the interests of his constituents.
Louisiana needs a full-time U.S. Senator who is not distracted and can give his important job his full-time attention. Right now, with these questions swirling around him, Vitter cannot do his job effectively. It is time for the truth from Senator Vitter, nothing more and nothing less.Right now, he is stonewalling and being deceptive if not dishonest. It is quite sad that the claims of a former prostitute seem much more believable than the weak denials of a U.S. Senator.

Jefferson needs to go, but notice you are comparing Vitter and Jefferson together now,That is sad. You now say, It is alright Vitter broke the law and lied to us.How dare we expect The Republican party to have Morals and ethics because of Bill clinton.How Dare we be dumb enough to have believed in Vitter ,as he lied about family values.How dare we expect Vitter, to have Ethics because we live in Louisiana.How dare we want something better, for our state and children.Sorry people,I dare and I want change in Louisiana,and Vitter has proved what he is and do not lie, to yourself about wanting change in Louisiana if you will not change Vitter.

Re: Rhett's Wife"s comments. I agree, let's "let it all hang out". If there r politicians, Republican or Demos(and I'm the former) expose all of the phonies. We know from the Canal St.Madam's statements and those of Wendy Cortez that Vitter was a regular. The T/P interviewed Cortez's boyfriend who ID'ed Vitter and Vitter denies it. The Madame and Cortez are criminals(and the boyfriends just that) and Vitter is a State Senator who we now know is a confirmed liar and hypocrit by his own reluctant omission. Consider the following chronological facts. 1. The US(Republican)Attorney's Office in Wash.DC obtained subsequent to the indictment of the DC Madame an injunction prohibiting release of the phone #s to and from that "establishment". The defendant Madame applied for a release of ALL phone numbers and the Judge finally granted her motion on a Thursday or Friday. Vitter and/or his Office realized his phone# was on it multiple times issued a press release Monday pm(known in political terms as a "preemptive strike", i.e.,get the bad news out in front with our "spin" on it) so others(like that AH Larry Flynt) would not take credit for it. BUT Vitter's "spin" is "I admitted I sinned(please explain the nature, frequency,duration,etc of said sin) when, in fact, he's admitted nothing except "being persued by political enemies and the media>>". In other words, it's not my fault this has come to pass but the fault of my(unnamed) political enemies and the MEDIA. YEAH RIGHT, it's the fault of the T/P, WWL,WDSU,Jeff Crouere(a long-time conservative Republican), etc, BUT It's not the fault of the whore mongering David Vitter. Question for "Sharon" the defender of the man who facilitates the operations of escort services/whorehouses/criminal enterprises(according to the U.S.Justice Dept.) How many "escort services" did your favorite Senator facilitate at $300.00 per hour??? We only know those where his phone #(what a dummy) or witnesses have come forward. What about all the other whores who don't need or want this publicity for "servicing" a Senator????

Hey, right wing-types, if Vitter were a Democrat would you still be defending him the way you're doing? No way! You'd be chomping at the bit to nail him to the wall, just like Clinton (the "party of fiscal prudence" spent how many millions to go after him?). And we all know that, alright. We also all know that neither party has some kind of monopoly on scandal. OTOH one party in particular has long made self-righteousness and holier-than-thou a key plank of their platform. How about taking some of your own medicine, then? If you truly believe in your own party line then how about following throught and applying it to your own selves? If you can't do that then you might as well shut up. Having said that, however, I seriously what the right wing types would have to do with themselves if they stopped moralizing, preaching and finger-pointing.

If vitter and the hookers conceived an "unborn child," would that change vitter's anti-choice stance? Yes, but just for the hooker he impregnated, and only until the DNA EVIDENCE (which vitter would otherwise call an "unborn child") was destroyed to avoid a paternity suit. Hypocrisy personified.

Crooks abound on both sides but it sure is something how these family-values GOP types keep turning out to be such hypocrites. If Vitter wasn't such a moralizer and finger-pointer himself maybe no one would care so much. However, he's the one who's praised Livingston for resigning and had called upon Clinton to do the same. Alright now it's his turn but instead it's apparently just "do as I say but not as I do...." And then it turns out he's lying about it. Remember, again, how many said in regard to Clinton that it wasn't what he did but that he lied about it?

I get it. You don't like David Vitter. You don't like Jindal. You don't like Republicans. We are all scum. You don't like people who don't live in Louisiana (even those who were born there and whose families still live there) to enter into the conversations. You love to be at the top of the list of everything bad and the bottom of the list of everything good. The Boudreaux/Thibodeaux jokes suit you just fine. You only attack corrupt Louisiana Republicans. Corrupt Democrats are fine. You can find any number of examples of corrupt or immoral Republicans in Florida and elsewhere but no corrupt Democrats anywhere. You never heard of Gerry Stubbs but his actions must have been good and proper cause he was a democrat. Why the leadership of the Democratic party called him a pioneer for gay rights. Kennedy is a hero to you. He got away with "murder" and still serves as a Senior Statesman. The former head of the KKK Byrd keeps your Constitution. Jefferson was elected by the people and therefore that money in his freezer was I am sure legal. Today I wonder why I still care but I do. I have seen several brilliant legislators come out of Louisiana and could have done a lot for the state but were run out of office because they did what 80% of those in Washington do. Cheat on their spouses. You prefer people like Jefferson, Landrieu, Melancon etc. Well, that is your choice. I have a great man in my life. He is a great husband, son, father and grandfather. We are both interested in politics and remain interested in the state of our birth whether you like it or not. Stephen, thank you for the opportunity you have given to all of us to express our views.

Sharon would we be even talking about this,if David Vitter lived by the same standards he called for other to live by.He did not care about his family when he hired a hooker and took the chance of bringing aids home to his family.This might be a shocker but dealing with hookers you run a great risk of giving aids to your family.Now after Vitter you had Craig who like Vitter helps write the laws people must live by,but then says he did not understand pleading guilty,meant he was guilty.Now do you really believe law makers do not understand what pleading Guilty means.Just this last Friday a republican Chairman of the St. Petersburg City Council in Florida,took his own life hours after he resigned amid allegations he sexually abused his three adopted daughters .Now that is three sex perverts in 3 months,so you may want to admit there is a problem in the republican party.Now Vitter and Craig had one thing in common,They hated gays and anybody who did not live up to their false high Morals.Not sure what the guy doing his own kids stood for but he was a Republican.

She cheated on no one. The same as Wendy Vitter, she cheated on no one. This is about the hypocrite David Vitter. Then you go on to keep whining about the whole list. It doesn't make a difference who else is on the list. it doesn't change what the "Honorable David Vitter" did. And what he really stands for. I'm sure he didn't go home and tell Wendy it's all about the rest of the list. And I'm sure he told her, you're gonna feel better about this baby when you see those democrats on the list. Absolutely silly Sharon. That's like getting stopped for speeding and asking the cop for a list of other people who got stopped as well. It doesn't matter. And mind you, I do hope there are other hypocrites on the list. I doubt we will find a bigger one though. Nor will it change what the "honorable" scumbag did.

As for the Craig matter, seems that the more that comes out about this is that there has been numerous persons charged with similar actions. This was a part of a sting at the airport. Craig is most guilty of being too dumb to "lawyer up". Some have and the lawyers who had spoken on the matter said that the officer made overtures. I agree with the political pundent who said that "Craig should have walked to the microphone and say that he suddenly found himself more in tune with Democrats and was switching political parties". Before you jump all over me, look up Gerry Studds and what he did and how he was treated. Why was no one upset that Barney Frank's lover ran an "escort service" from the Representative's town home or that Frank was fixing tickets for those clients? If Craig were a Democrat, people from the other side would be rushing to defend Craig saying that he was "entrapped". There is a double standard. What Republican who had left a young woman in a car under water and not returned for hours until he had lawyered up would have survived for all these years as Teddy Kennedy has? Yet alone stand over and over again accusing others of immoral behavior. Republicans generally do not fight and usually throw the "baby out with the bathwater". I want my politicians to have strong moral character but I know that in the real world the vast majority do not. In fact, if we got rid of any and all who had "fallen from grace" in one way or another we could do the one thing we probably need to do. Throw them all out and start over.

I am used to being attacked on this blog. Sometimes my feelings get hurt but not for long. I do a lot of research before I form an opinion. Both Madam's claim they have lists yet only Vitter has been named. Flynt does have an axe to grind as Rhetts Wife has stated. He is offering a million dollars to anyone who can give him information to bring down any Repubublican hypocrit. He blames Republicans and the Christian Right for all his life's problems. The New Orleans Madame's lawyer cannot remember Vitter being on any list from her problems. Seems to me he should know who was and who wasn't. The following information sent to me this afternoon about this.
"This from a New Orleans televisions station and also reported by CBS News.
Speculation has swirled about its clients. Maier has claimed her book contains the names of at least 20 Louisiana politicians, but Vitter has been the only one she's named.
However, Maier's attorney, Provino "Vinny" Mosca, said he had "absolutely no recollection of David Vitter's name ever appearing on any document, book or list, or having any association" with Maier.
"It was not contained in any evidence in the case, including in any book, list or document seized by the federal government or given to the federal government by Ms. Maier," a statement from Mosca said. "David Vitter's name was never picked up on any government wiretap nor is it listed in any transcript or court document."

If you are all worked up about discretions that happened years ago, that too is your problem. Show me something recent. I don't condone cheating on one's spouse but staying in the marriage is between the partners. Hillary Clinton chose to stay will Bill though there were multiple affairs including a very long term one. She now is running for President. This would put Bill right back in the White House. Do you think the fact that they have had these problems in their marriage disqualify her? I don't suspect you do. So, I reserve the right to say that Vitter is doing a good job in the Senate and should stay there.

Vitter is not only a persistent and consistent whoremonger over a number of years(not a one time only mistake in a heat of passion), but dishonest as well. Devious Dave was taking phone calls from the D.C. Madame when he was taking votes on the house floor, while he was supposed to be doing the people's business. "I did not have sex with that woman"---good 'ole "family values" Dave did not have much forgiveness in heart when Clinton was lying to the American people. Vitter not only shows no character--none whatsoever--and shows himself to be utterly, completely hypocritical, but was engaging in an activity that was against the law. To make matter worse, he is a persistent liar. He is sworn to uphold the law, not run around breaking the law. If you think that prostitution should be legal, then sponsor legislation to legalize it--the "family values" guy would never do such a thing.

Jeff points out some valid contradictions and facts. But if I were this Presidential Administration's Political Consultant [a Rove(r)] and trying to obscure the complete indifference and incompetence with which Louisiana has been treated, then I would create diversions. First, I would coerce the local U.S. Dist. Atty. to shine a floodlight on local politicians and do whatever it took to go after them. If he did not comply, then he would be fired and replaced (can you say "Gonzalez-ed"!) As a corollary, any dossiers that big brother (CIA, FBI) had on Louisiana Leaders, I would release now so as to shut them up. The last thing this Administration wants now is a Louisiana Congressman or Senator doing their job, telling the truth and fighting for Louisiana to be rebuilt! I do not condone Sen.

Sharon you fail to make sense at so many levels I don't know where to start. You say look at the timing of this? What does the timing have to do with a bible thumper cheating on his wife? If he didn't commit the act there would be no timing. David Vitter, and David Vitter alone committed this act. Do you think his wife would accept the excuse that it's all Larry Flynts fault? You think that's what he told his Priest? Then you say his personal life should be between him ands his wife? Well if he took your advice, he wouldn't have included D.C. and New Orleans prostitutes in his personal life. My personal life IS between me and my wife. And that means not sleeping with others. There's 2 reasons most people don't cheat on their spouse. 1. First and foremost because it's WRONG. 2. And second is fear of getting caught. And I'm not talking about getting caught by Larry Flynt. David Vitter obviously didn't care that it was WRONG. And he obviously didn't care or think he would be caught. And he still figures he's so high and mighty that he can just duck the questions and that forgives him. After all his stupid constituents will forget all the family values venom he constantly spewed on others. This is Louisiana, let's lower the bar again. Maybe we should change the practice in this country of introducing politicians as "The Honorable". Maybe we should wait until they earn the title.

Jeff, forgive me but I do not see why everyone is so interested in Vitter's actions so many years ago. He has stated that he "sinned". He sought forgiveness from God and his Wife. He has worked toward making his marriage work. His wife has said as much and she is willing and eager to stay in that marriage. That should be the final decision. Larry Flynt has stated he is out to get certain individuals. Polygraph tests are regularly "beaten". They are mostly not allowed as evidence in most cases. Looking at the timing and the fact that so far Vitter is the only one brought out seems not only suspect but politically motivated. Vitter had just proven himself most capable in defeating the "old guard" in the likes of Kennedy on Illegal Immigration. Frankly in a state that is famous for its "womanizing" politicians, this seems a stretch too far. I am more interested in Vitter's work and success in the Senate. There is a great many things needed to be done not only for Louisiana but for the nation. This man has proven he can be an effective leader. Let's leave his personal life where it belongs with his wife. It is frankly none of our business.
