Yea, chesterar, You and La. voters send the perfect example of why politicians bend you over and laugh at you as you consider an opponent of Vitter’s who admitted to committing adultery while his opponent whom I have heard of No ethics charges or other transgressions a scum. You folks in La. just surpassed Illinois as the, ‘State with the most moron electorate’
