- sonofdy1, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5shawnfassett: 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.
- vatosplace, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Good for Sean Hannity.
- vatosplace, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Sexual relations between two consenting adults is one thing. Clinton was impeached because he lied. What Vitter did is AGAINST THE LAW. Note to your Reich wing self.
- Gadren, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4O_O It's a sign of the Apocalypse!
- sonofdy1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2The 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 - sonofdy1, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5He 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.
- thcobbs, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3And 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.

- sonofdy1, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3I am applying the same standard to vitter and clinton. Thier sex lives should not force them to resign. Why should the standard clinton was held to be different for vitter?
- jmpeagle, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2"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. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1The 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.
I'm quite surprised Hannity said this instead of toeing the party line like he usually does. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1But Hannity isn't calling for Vitter to resign over his sex life. He's saying Vitter called for any politician having an extramarital affair to resign therefore Vitter should follow his own call for resignation.
If Vitter had said any politician who blew up the moon should resign and then Vitter blew up the moon himself then by his own words he should resign.
The affair isn't why Hannity believes Vitter should resign. - sonofdy1, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4Why should he? The clinton case has established that extra-martial nookie is distastefull but not a reason to resign. He should be judged on his job performance not his sex life. Just like clinton should have been.
- TheNapalm, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2hannity is the best on foxs' staff
- Vicujozobenaxod, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0And 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 ***** gets a free pass when he cheats on his wife. It's not about hypocrisy, it's conduct, plain and simple.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3It's about hypocrisy. Clinton never went around preaching that others were unfit to govern and should resign for having affairs - Vitter did. Vitter doesn't practice what he preaches - he's a worthless phony liar.
- CaptainNoPants, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1the argument of "well the other guy did it so its ok if this guy did it" is ridiculous and childish. At what point do you drop that and start holding people accountable?
- shawnfassett, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1sonofdy1 has different standards for his 'team', unfortunately sonofdy1 and other anti-American conservatives don't understand that the larger team they play for is AMERICA not the GOP. Fools.
