David Vitter: Yet Another Dumbass

Obviously the big problem with Vitter is YET AGAIN it’s some dumbfuck hypocrite who has built a career throwing tantrums re: sanctity of marriage and “family values” et al who gets caught with his hand in the nookie jar. YET AGAIN it’s some fuckwit who was jumping up and down that Clinton cheating on his wife will single-handedly destroy America, the children and apple pie that gee, what do you know, is full of shit. And of course what’s become even more dangerous is these are the people that have spent the last two elections preaching and successfully convincing voters that “family values” and “character” are all that matters when it comes to choosing our leaders, be it at the expense of competence, intelligence and vision.

But the thing is, I don’t and never have believed these people. Any politician that starts Bible-thumping and acting holier than thou, I simply do not believe. Look at W – all this horsehit about what a great husband/family guy he is, what a great “Christian” he is, do you REALLY think that he never cheated on Laura? Even after he was done (at age 40) snorting eight-balls and drowning in Jack, do you honestly think he wasn’t getting all the ass he could? Please. Fuck, Ann Coulter can’t go 120 seconds without reminding us what a Christian she is for fuckssake. These people are simply unbelievable; yet these are the people we’re following off a cliff cause we’ve trapped ourselves into caring only about “family values.”

And now once again, we have some family-values huckster getting busted. But to be honest, that’s not even my favorite part – all my predictable anger re: hypocrisy et al has been written here 1000 times before. My favorite bit is in his written statement:

This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible. Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there - with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way.

You see that? He asked for AND RECEIVED forgiveness from God. Hmm. Really? He knows for fact that God forgave him? Can somebody please ask him how? Did God text him? I mean, did he really just say that? How can he say that and nobody asks him how this hapenned? And can I use this in court maybe? “Listen, your honor, I already talked to God and he forgave me for stealing the car, so you might as well let me go.” I guess him saying this horseshit makes it okay. Am I crazy, am I the only person on Earth thinking it's a bit much to believe that "God" reached out and spoke to this dipshit? A bum on the street talking to Jesus is "crazy", but we're alright with Vitter having God on his speed dial. Camon.

But we all sit and watch him “apologize” and “repent”, I’m sure there’s some nice footage of him tearing up while talking about Jesus, and we all nod our heads and forgive a man who has built a career on the very thing for which he is asking (and receiving!) God’s forgiveness. I could give a fuck if someone cheats on his wife, but this politics of REPEATED hypocrisy and forgiveness is getting more and more dangerous to our country. Maybe if we dropped this act of giving a shit how many times someone goes to church every week and worry a little more about little things like healthcare, education and not getting into pretend wars so that 4 people can get rich? I know, I know, I'm going to hell.
