thinkprogress.org — Last night on Fox, Hannity said that Vitter should heed his own advice and resign: "I think Senator Vitter should probably live by the line that he put out for Bill Clinton back in the Monica Lewinsky scandal."

He is a politician, I would think the terms worthless phony liar should be implied. Why should he resign when clinton who did basicaly the same thing has shown that this is not a reason to resign? I think he should be judged by his actions in congress not his actions outside of congress. If actions outside of congress were reasons for resigning, then there are alot more people in congress who should resign as well. To start with, patrick kennedy.

shawnfassett: I am saying that the same standard should be applied to all regardless of party. The Clinton thing set the standard and so everyone should be held to the Clinton standard. The sex life of politicians should be off limits and no reason to resign. How is that anti-American? How is holding everyone to the same standard anti-American? To me it seems like you are the one bringing party into it.

The point is Vitter should hold himself to his own standards. Back then he called for Clinton's resignation for the same thing he is guilty of now.---------------Which makes him a hypocrite, no doubt. So apply a consistant standard. The private sex life of politicians should be no reason to resign. After all this is the reasoning that keep clinton in office. Lets keep it consistant

And you know what. He should resign. To call someone out for their impropriety and then not follow your own advice is hypocritical at the very least.

"Sexual relations between two consenting adults is one thing."how is that not what Vitter did? He hypocritically hired a prostitute but isn't that contract automatically a consensual one. Sure prostitution is illegal in D.C., but if he had done it in other parts of the country such as in parts of Nevada, it would have been totally legal. Government has no right to legislate sexual relations between two consenting adults.Sean Hannity is an ass and this remark proves it more. The only good thing that would happen would be that Vitter resigning would allow the democratic governor of Louisiana would be able to replace Vitter with a democrat giving the Senate an anti-war democratic majority since there current 51-49 is more like 50-50 in the senate given lieberman's positions.

And here we have the ironic hypocrite doing some cherry picking. Just because one guy went around talking the talk, doesn't mean someone who comes off as a perverted assh**e gets a free pass when he cheats on his wife. It's not about hypocrisy, it's conduct, plain and simple.
