Rachel Maddow Reminds America That David Vitter Is Still A Senator

video
» 36 comments

It seems that Louisiana Rep. Charlie Melancon‘s attack ad against Republican Senator David Vitter have reawakened long-dormant attacks on Vitter for his various ethics infractions. Last night, Rachel Maddow brought up the ad in the context of how little criticism Vitter has received for his previous behavior, noting that Melancon had “crossed the Rubicon” in leading the charge against it. But why did it take so long?

After leading her segment with one of her favorite Vitter punchlines and explaining what she perceives as Vitter’s “coffee-up-the-nose stunning hypocrisy,” Maddow had as her guest someone well-versed enough in Louisiana politics to explain to her why Vitter seemed to keep trudging along when so many other politicians have had to resign for much less. Clancy Dubos, owner of the Gambit Weekly, noted that in following Louisiana politics closely, he perceived that Louisiana Republicans “loved” Governor Bobby Jindal but only “tolerated” Vitter, and that the latter’s “soft underbelly” was with female voters, making the ad expertly targeted in his opinion. He also added that he believed there to be some fear as to what would happen to people, especially within the Republican Party, who chose to bring up Vitter’s past troubles.

The interview with Dubos via MSNBC below:

    “He said in his defense he always selected the girl who made the lowest bid, so he’s fiscally prudent.” –David Letterman

    “Well now more problems with this Vitter guy. You gotta go on his website, he’s like Mr. Religious, Mr. Family Values. Well now a second madam has come forward and told the Associated Press that he was also a customer at her brothel. This guy was cheating on his hooker with another hooker.” –Jay Leno

    “And this madam says that Vitter was not only having sex with the prostitutes — this is unbelievable — he would also pay them to dress him up in a diaper. See, that’s what you call a pampered politician. And she also said today in an interview that he sometimes paid $300 an hour just to have the hookers talk to him because his wife didn’t listen to him. Well, I bet she’s all ears now.” –Jay Leno

    “Louisiana Senator David Vitter held a press conference this week, where he admitted yes, he was a client of the DC madam, but he said those stories of hookers dressing him in diapers were not true. Boy, what do you do there? Are you supposed to take the word of a politician over a hooker? It’s a tough decision for people.” –Jay Leno

    “Vitter’s wife was by his side when he made the announcement. She called the senator her ‘best friend.’ Unfortunately, his best friend is someone named Thumper.” –Jay Leno

    “At his press conference yesterday, where he admitted being involved with prostitutes, Louisiana Senator David Vitter apologized to his longtime supporters — the working men and the working girls of Louisiana.” –Jay Leno

    “Last night, down in Washington, DC, they had the all-night Senate session. The senators were there all night. It was the DC madam’s slowest night ever.” –David Letterman

    “The darling of the religious right, conservative Senator David Vitter of Louisiana, not only admitted to having sex with prostitutes, he would pay them $300 to make him wear diapers. And today that crazy astronaut called him ‘my dream guy, he’s got my vote!” –Jay Leno

    “Vitter put out a statement saying he only started cheating on his wife after he started hanging out with the wrong crowd, you know, Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, the mayor of LA.” –Jay Leno

    As usual, the extremists on the right cannot discuss the topic at hand. Rather they must villify the author, and make childish comments.

    “Rachel Maddow Reminds America……..”

    One look at her ratings Frances and one can come to the conclusion that nobody bothered to listen.

    Maybe that should read “Rachel Maddow reminds a ‘Very’ small group……..”

  • OperaGuy

    Maddow is REALLY annoying. Let’s attack a waste of a person to try and get support for gay marriage… insane.
    Vitter is a d-bag and should have resigned when he got caught (better yet he should not have gone outside his marriage but… whatever).
    Prostitution should be legal.
    Gay marriage should be legal.
    And there should be term limits.

    Why is this news? All Rachel does is attack republicans. She has one standard for the crimes/misdemeanors/violations of dems (it’s all good) and another for republicans (it’s all bad).

    MSNBC=meltdown.

    Some Morally Superior Demcorats For Rachel

    WOW!!! I’m impressed!! Your research is impeccable!!! And so in depth!!! Now…can we have the same in depth reporting for the opposite side of the aisle? Rumor has it they aren’t too many saints over there either. Just checking? Remember…”Fair and Balanced”!! They’re all thieves and scumbags. Supporting either side of this mess makes you part of the problem. Your pompous assed Republican attitude exudes from your reporting but we both know better don’t we? The right is just as bad …or good as the left. They are both the same, all thieves and liars, the only change is the package they are shipped in. Wake up fool!

    Are there any pictures of Rachel Maddow without that absolutely obnoxious SMUG expression on her face?
    I guess not.
    What a miserable, unlikeable bitch.

    At least she has the balls to show her face. How about you? Gonna criticize anonymously? Shows true guts!

    Thank you Bill, these idiots think the Republican party is a pack of angels. Both parties are full of crooked lawyers what does one expect? You who staunchly support either party are a pack of fools with no vision or common sense. If you firmly believe one party is superior to the other seek psychological help, you are extremely delusional. The evidence against both parties is out there, try looking at the side you support once in a while and maybe…just maybe you might learn something on your own and not due to lying politicians and the WWE of news Fox> Wake up people, we’re running out of time and MONEY!!!

    Gee.. how does that differ from Fox attacking the left? Or either party attacking the other? Or either of their fan bases (that would be you the fan ….politics has become ALMOST entertainment) attacking each other? Don’t you blind fools realize we are in serious jeopardy due to the very people you cheer for and defend?

    jimW. Did Rachel report on any of these democrats? She’s the professional reporter, not me.
    Does fox report on any of the republicans,, Yes. All of the above. The liberal media(especially Maddow) presents one side all the time. She rarely has anyone on her show that disagrees with her position. Olbermn is the same. You can say what you want about BO but he has liberals on his show all the time and even conservatives that he disagrees with. Maybe thats why he’s Number 1.

    Here’s another example of the left wing progessive media: I tried to disagree with Rachel on “Maddow blog” and my commets were deleted. While the moderator allowed someone else to curse at me. The liberals are good at name calling but their cowards. If I had called a liberol a “pompous ass” like you called me, I would have been deleted. Maddow and her followers are cowards. They do not want anyone to know both sides. And what was her point? An anti Vitter negative campaign ad perhaps? Why didnt she spend one minute telling us how great his opponent is? Instead she bashed vitter, (who is bashable for sure). MSNBC has turned into nothin more than a negative campaign advertisement for candidates running against conservative or tea party candidates. Chris Matthews should be able to claim Harry Reid as a dependent as much free negative campaigning Matthews as done for him.. The most hated man in liberalville, Glen Beck, presents infromation about public policyk, history, specifics, etc etc. Ive watched the liberal MSM trying to figure out just what it is that progresives stand for and from all I cant see, there not for anything, there just hate conservatives , tea party fools and of course Fox News. Not a singlel MSNBC show goes by without the host putting down Fox. Perhaps that is why Fox is #1?

    It doesnt bother me to be called a pompous ass, because its so far from the truth. I dont have a pot to pee in, Im retired military, my kids are grown, but my life isnt that bad. I just want a smaller, more efficient government that keeps its hand out of my pocket and out of my personal business. i want the same things for you and Maddow. What does she want for me? Bigger government, higher taxes, government in my bedroom, kitchen, car, billfold, etc etc. That is what concerns me today.

    Poor Bill Adkins, nobody has ever heard of the people on your list. LOL.

    If I wanted to go down the rolls of voters labeled democrats that are criminals, the list would be so long it might take days just to get to YOU.

    By the way, how are the drug sales going these days? Still selling to 5yr olds?

  • felixw

    Typical Maddow…..playing gotcha over some news story from years ago. She is desperate to change the conversation from the disaster that is happening right now in Washington D.C. But voters will see through this pathetic smear-of-the-day game that she plays. And Rachel will lose more viewers as she focuses night-after-night on irrelevant stories simply because they allow her to score points over minor issues relating to minor figures.

    So so does Jimmy Horn. He lifted that list from a right-wing website without attribution. – a crime known as “plagiarism.” He’s glad you approve, I’m sure.

    Bill Adkins: Can Dimmy Horn copy the right way to quote a source from you?

    “All Rachel does is attack republicans.”

    Not true. She calls out Dems on a regular basis. Of course, you’d have to actually WATCH her show to know this before attacking her.

    “What a miserable, unlikeable bitch.”

    Tell us whatever she said that was factually incorrect. We’ll wait. Tick . . . tick . . . tick. . . .

    No one should care if he’s gay or not. EVERYONE should care that he’s a liar and a hypocrite.

    “Your research is impeccable!!!”

    – and STOLEN.

    “how does that differ from Fox attacking the left?”

    Fakes “News” uses distortions, half-truths and outright lies to”report” their version of the so-called “facts.” For all of the neocons weeping and freaking out around here, virtually NONE has ever produced tangible proof of factual error by MSNBC or anyone on it.

    I have asked about two-dozen times for proof of factual errors by Media Matters. No one here has ever responded to that request to my knowledge, though I may have missed a pertinent reply.

    MM recently goofed on a story about two of Glenn Beck’s substitute goofballs. MM promptly corrected its own story. Fox tells the lies and backs them up to the (very) bitter end. They used old video to “pad the crowd” at a Tea Party event last year, then grudgingly apologized for making a “mistake” when they got caught.

    “The liberal media(especially Maddow) presents one side all the time. She rarely has anyone on her show that disagrees with her position. ”

    Maddow has repeatedly asked Sharron Angle to appear on her show. She famously hosted Rand “Aqua Buddha” Paul when he made his his foot-in-the-mouth comments about the Civil Right Act. To his credit, Paul later said Maddow had treated him fairly. She has covered the travails of Dems like Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters, accurately and honestly.

    There is an innate tendency among politicians to seek out favorable media venues. Conservatives “rightly” fear crossing swords with the astute, politely persistent Maddow.

    “Here’s another example of the left wing progessive [sic] media: I tried to disagree with Rachel on “Maddow blog” and my commets were deleted.”

    Maybe you tried to post stolen material there, too?

    ” While the moderator allowed someone else to curse at me. The liberals are good at name calling but their cowards. If I had called a liberol a “pompous ass” like you called me, I would have been deleted.”

    ALL libs are name-callers? ALL libs are cowards? I HATE it when everyone makes blanket statements.

    FWIW, I don’t think you’re pompous.

    ” Maddow and her followers are cowards. They do not want anyone to know both sides.”

    The content of her show disproves your assertion. Why not watch it some time?

    ” And what was her point? An anti Vitter negative campaign ad perhaps?”

    Definitely. She was reporting on it. So?

    ” Why didnt she spend one minute telling us how great his opponent is?”

    Because she was reporting, not promoting. Have you become so inured to Fox’s “cheerleading/reporting” that you can no longer differentiate the two?

    ” Instead she bashed vitter, (who is bashable for sure).”

    What, if anything, did she say that was factually inaccurate? She told the truth about Vitter, which hardly qualifies as “bashing.”

    ” MSNBC has turned into nothin more than a negative campaign advertisement for candidates running against conservative or tea party candidates.”

    They report on the inconsistencies, disarray and untruths they find on the political right. This does not constitute “advertising.”

    ” Chris Matthews should be able to claim Harry Reid as a dependent as much free negative campaigning Matthews as done for him.”

    Matthews is a commentator, not a reporter, per se. This is also true of Beck. the crucial difference is that Beck routinely lies and distorts, twisting the facts to suit his agenda.

    Matthews has opinions, of course. He probably makes factual errors, but does not purposely distort them as far as I can tell. Admittedly, I don’t watch his show often.

    You are free to disagree with Matthews’ opinions, but you aren’t free to create your own facts, a la Beck..

    “. The most hated man in liberalville, Glen Beck, presents infromation about public policyk, history, specifics, etc etc.”

    Beck’s version of “etc., etc.” is a rambling, shambling mess of fabrications, lies and distortions. MediaMatters.org works overtime checking his fallacies against proven sources and finds Beck and Fox lacking – frequently. MM provides copious links to the sources it references. I have followed their links on several stories in the past and found their critiques of Beck, et al, to be valid. They did goof on a recent Beck story but promptly corrected it.

    ” Ive watched the liberal MSM trying to figure out just what it is that progresives stand for and from all I cant see, there not for anything, there just hate conservatives , tea party fools and of course Fox News.”

    Progressives stand for good government and its potential to make our country and our lives better. They don’t “hate conservatives”; they hate the dishonesty and misrepresentations that too many conservatives espouse. The Tea Partiers are, too often, uninformed and misguided. They are being duped by wealthy conservatives into acting against their own best interests – and ours.

    ” Not a singlel MSNBC show goes by without the host putting down Fox. Perhaps that is why Fox is #1?”

    Another blanket statement. How much MSNBC have you actually watched?

    Rupert Moredreck dumped a half-a-BILLION dollars into Fox over its first five years. He essentially bought optimum channel space on cable systems. MSNBC has had to play catch-up in a more difficult financial climate. MSNBC is often placed on premium tiers while Fox is on standard tiers, limiting potential viewership. You can’t make the same 1-to-1 ratings comparisons that you can with over-the-air TV stations.

    Even so, what do ratings prove? That Fox is better at lying to and pandering to its audience?

    Fox is firmly in the pocket of the Republicans, conservatives and “Big Money” – all of which support it very well. But ask yourself; what does MSNBC gain by exposing Republican/conservative/Big Money corruption and misconduct? They certainly don’t endear themselves to those groups and individuals. Though MSNBC is owned by GE, they don’t appear to have been impeded in their efforts to report the facts – even those facts which may be uncomfortable for their corporate owners.

    “I just want a smaller, more efficient government that keeps its hand out of my pocket and out of my personal business. i want the same things for you and Maddow. What does she want for me? Bigger government, higher taxes, government in my bedroom, kitchen, car, billfold, etc etc. That is what concerns me today.”

    When did she say she wants bigger government and higher taxes? She most certainly wants the government – and everybody else – out of our bedrooms. She has essentially said so. You’re being brainwashed by Fox’s right-wing propaganda. If you want to know what Rachel thinks, listen to Rachel.

    Nobody wants to pay taxes – but EVERYBODY wants government help at some point in their lives.

    “Im retired military”

    Your military pay and bennies were paid for with MY taxes. You’re welcome – and thanks for serving.

    I’m not sure how government “gets into” your kitchen and car, except to the extent that it mandates safety and efficiency measures for appliances and vehicles – leaving you safer and with a few more bucks in that billfold of yours. You’re welcome, again.

    gordonbloatedscam: “Do you put your shoes on by yourself?”

    At least he doesn’t put them in his MOUTH, as you so often do.

    “Poor Bill Adkins, nobody has ever heard of the people on your list. LOL.”

    Yeah, “unknowns” like Jack Abramoff, Randy “Duke” Cunningham, Tom DeLay, Rush Limbaugh, “Scooter” Libby. . . . Hilarious.

    Your shallow, vacuous responses are thoughtless, baseless and pointless. You are a self-delusional fool who only drags down and embarrasses yourself and the rest of your equally clueless “comrades.” Every word you say sinks your guys even lower – so keep talking . . . and talking . . . and talking. . . .

    “Typical Maddow…..playing gotcha over some news story from years ago.”

    The ad she mentioned is current – as is Vitter’s hypocrisy.

    An “old” Republican scandal is no longer a scandal? I’m sure you felt the same way about Bill Clinton’s conduct – right?

    Seems Vitter’s hypocrisy isn’t the ONLY example here.

  • felixw

    I just heard Glenn Beck on his show give a detailed overview of the unemployment situation. This is the difference between Fox and MSNBC. Fox is covering the big issues that people worry about. MSNBC is obsessed with smears and character attacks — or, at best, trying to score tiny debating points against little known conservatives.
