Veni, Vidi, Vitter
Another day, another GOP wanker:
Today, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 16-1 to approve President-elect Obama’s nomination of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. Casting the sole “nay” vote was Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), who was concerned about Bill Clinton’s “multimillion dollar minefield of conflicts of interest.” Vitter has long been a Clinton foe, calling on President Clinton to step down in 1998 because of his affair with Monica Lewinsky. In 2007, Vitter also revealed that he had been a client of the D.C. Madam’s escort service, but refused to resign.
Actually, this post is simply an excuse to post what might be the best YouTube video ever:

You’re welcome.
Vitter Casts Lone Vote Against Hillary Clinton [Think Progress]
It was because of SecStat Hilsbot’s stance against subsidizing adult Huggies.
I’m sure that this will all be cleared up just as soon as Bill cuts a check to Monica.
After all that grandstanding, nobody followed him? If you’re going to be a point man, there’s supposed to be a line behind you.
