Villere Officially Demands McAllister’s Resignation

From the Hayride
The pressure mounts (more than Villere in article)
Not a huge Villere fan, but looks like the right call on his part.
I am actually OK with him not resigning as long as he doesn't run in November.

unsubstantiated hooker allegations =/= video with best friend's wife
How can you trust your elected representative to represent you, to be a voice for his constituency when he's caught lying about being religious and caught doing his best friend's wife. Horny politicians have been cheating on their wives since the dawn of time, but your best friend's wife is always off limits. If he will betray his best friend, he's going to betray his constituency for much less than a Klondike Bar. I generally don't hop on the sex scandal band wagon, but this is unconscionable. It's not just a violation of trust, it's a violation of the "bro code", and bros don't tolerate bros who break the bro code.

"unsubstantiated"?
quote:
Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) apologized last night after his telephone number appeared in the phone records of the woman dubbed the "D.C. Madam," making him the first member of Congress to become ensnared in the high-profile case.
The statement containing Vitter's apology said his telephone number was included on phone records of Pamela Martin and Associates dating from before he ran for the Senate in 2004.
The service's proprietor, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, 51, faces federal charges of racketeering for allegedly running a prostitution ring out of homes and hotel rooms in the Washington area. Authorities say the business netted more than $2 million over 13 years beginning in 1993. Palfrey contends that her escort service was a legitimate business.
"This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible," Vitter, 46, said in a statement, which his spokesman, Joel DiGrado, confirmed to the Associated Press.

Depends on what your definition of "hooker" is.

Things that have come out since this scandal:
1) He's banging his best friends wife
2) He played the faith card to get votes
3) He supported medicaid expansion to get democrats to vote for him in the runoff
I wouldn't trust him to wash my car at this point.

He was probably going to run unopposed. What an idiot.

He should flip to a Democrat, then he would become an instant star to the party like Clinton.

So does Villere want Vitter to resign too???
Should Jindal resign because he is a phony??
Should Villere resign because he refused to allow the rightfully elected Paul delegates to the republican state convention elect the delegates to the republican national convention??
Yes on all three.
Ironic Villere decides now to have some principles. Could it be because his good ole boy, hand picked by the RINOs lost to this guy McAllister??

Honestly think it has more to do with the fact that McAllister would not call him back, and when his Chief of Staff, Terry Adams, finally did, it devolved into a yelling match.
Like I posted, I am no fan of Villere. That said, this is the right move.

Agreed.
David Vitter is also a piece of shite who will never receive a vote from me.

fricking this. McAllistar is getting railroaded. It's complete hypocrisy that the party's loudest voices somehow stopped short of calling for Vitter's resignation.
If this is the case, if I'm McAllistar I'm going balls to the walls for the FBI to catch the leaker. However far up the GOP chain it goes, the better.

Vitter ran on a family values platform too. If Villere is going to call for McAllister's resignation, he should call for Vitter's as well. He won't, though, because Roger Villere and that entire group on the LA GOP Executive Committee is a bunch of hypocritical hacks.
Personally, I don't think Vitter should have resigned, and neither should McAllister. If Villere was this great conservative he claims to be, he'd realize that with Louisiana's current budget situation, we shouldn't be paying for any unnecessary special elections. Just wait until the regular Fall election, and IF McAllister even runs, I'm sure he'll get hammered out of even making the run-off.
The REAL reason Villere is being a hypocrite in all this? The entire LA GOP leadership backed Riser in the special election from the beginning because that is who Jindal and Teepell told them to back. Jindal's Victory PAC basically pays the staffing salaries of the LA GOP right now. They're sold out to him. You know...speaking of hookers and prostitutes...

Meh, at least Vitter had a nice history of voting like a conservative and had not been known to be trouble before.
I get your point though.
I hate politics.

Bill Clinton set the bar on that one.
Resigning is for suckers.

Demanding this guy's resignation is ridiculous. Most politicians do things that are way worse than this on a daily basis.
