Louisiana GOP Senator David Vitters mixes Religion with Politics and adds a lil' Prostitution

Check out this Chris Kelly blog from today on The Huffington Post. Kelly skewers Louisiana GOP Senator, David Vitters, for dragging his Catholic school upbringing into his current mess with hiring prostitutes. Kelly goes on to show an example of how Ken Starr used Easter Sunday in his report on Bill Clinton's blowjob prob to flame the fire in every way he could.

Ken Starr understood how to use the high holy days to push Christian buttons in a sex scandal. That's why his report (What was he investigating again?) went out of its way to say -- not once, but four times -- that one of the Clinton/Lewinsky encounters happened on Easter. Here's the juiciest one:

After this Easter Sunday conversation, the President and Ms. Lewinsky had a sexual encounter in the hallway, according to Ms. Lewinsky.(318) She testified that the President touched her breasts with his mouth and hands.(319) According to Ms. Lewinsky: "I think he unzipped [his pants] . . . because it was sort of this running joke that I could never unbutton his pants, that I just had trouble with it."(320) Ms. Lewinsky performed oral sex. The President did not ejaculate in her presence.(321)

The same day Jesus rose from the you-know-what! Try substituting the words "April 7th" (or "Jackie Chan's birthday") for "Easter Sunday." It's just not half as tawdry. I mean, if you were raised right.
