Adult magazine publisher Larry Flynt brought the former prostitute who claims to have had an affair with U.S. Sen. David Vitter before the media on Tuesday and called on Vitter to resign the seat he won by campaigning on a platform of conservative values.

----ORIGINAL POST----
oyster over at your right hand thief has the link to and most excellent commentary on david vitter prostitute wendy cortez nee wendy yow.

yrht snip:
The bottom line in that statement from Vitter's spokesperson is that Vitter is not directly denying questions about Wendy Cortez, as he has done so in the past. He remains here, and avoids telling his side of the story while more and more revelations surface and while hearings, meetings and votes are taking place on Capitol Hill. (The T-P also reported that the D.C. Madam's service called Vitter twice during House roll call votes in which he participated.)

I'm sure I'll update this later with more commentary.
