“The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.” ~ Gaius Cornelius Tacitus
One of the most egregious commentaries on the Vitter scandal is offered by Neil Kavanagh, the one man operation behind The Northside Journal. Kavanagh, falling in step with Lee Fletcher, also seems to believe this is simply an old news story conveniently recycled to embarrass Vitter because of his stance on immigration reform. This, claims Kavanagh, is nothing more than political payback for standing up against, of all people, President Bush AND Ted Kennedy.click link to read more from the daily kingfish.
Kavanagh is right about one thing, though: This isn't the first time Vitter's been accused of adultery. However, Kavanagh takes the position that we should have already known about Vitter's predilection for prostitutes and that because Vitter's been accused of extramarital affairs in the past, he doesn't need to explain anything to the people of Louisiana. And ironically, despite the fact Vitter has now demonstrated that he is not the man of principles and morals he claimed to be, Kavanagh writes:
[...]
Kavanagh's inconsistencies are abundant. It is almost as if he refuses to believe in Vitter's admission. One would imagine the "conservative principles" admired by Kavanagh would be grounded in a moral code. It's a hypocritical argument: It doesn't matter whether or not Vitter lives by these so-called conservative principles. As long as he continues to vote the way Kavanagh sees fit, his actions outside of the Senate Chambers are irrelevant.
