Suddenly, Louisiana US Senator David Vitter, who appeared to be a rising star with his national television exposure opposing immigration reform, might be facing some “reforming” of his own.
Jeanette Maier, best known as the New Orleans Canal Street Madam, who ran a famous brothel and who achieved national recognition has stated Tuesday that David Vitter had been one of the establishment’s customers since the mid-1990’s.
That revelation comes on the heals of Vitter’s allegedly “being outed” by Larry Flynt of Hustler Magazine for being a customer of the D.C. Madam’s network.
On Monday, it was disclosed that Vitter’s telephone number appeared on a list belonging to Deborah Jeane Palfrey (or the now infamous “D.C. Madam” who is facing racketeering charges associated with a prostitution ring). According to news reports, Larry Flint of Hustler takes credit for outing Vitter.
On Monday, Vitter issued an apology, however, he has not issued any other statements since the D.C. Madam revelation nor has he issued any statement since Maier’s claim that he had been a customer of her establishment.
Vitter had been rumored to be a Vice-President Candidate possibility should Rudy Giuliani win the Presidential nomination.
