Was it good for you? Hello? Anybody there?

Washington politicians, infected with "inner beltway mentality" are pretty sure the free world revolves around them. Sen. David Vitter, R-Louisiana, no doubt figured his admission that he committed "serious sin" with a hooker (as opposed to the much-less-serious sin with a hooker, you know, building a Habitat for Humanity house with one or something) would rock the political universe.

Wondering if it was Vitter's ego that took the big hit when famed "hooker to the pols" Deborah Jeane Palfrey told CNN she doesn't remember the guy at all?

Here's his voting record. Presumably, folks will go on a "hypocrisy hunt" today.

It is an election year in Louisiana. So this might get play, of course its not Vitters election year but....

Also Bobby Jindal, who has Vitters old House seat, is running for Governor. Currently he has a pretty good lead in the polls.

But given the political history of Louisiana, isn't it kind of assumed -- if not downright accepted -- that if you're a politician from Louisiana, you're probably a sleezebag to some degree?
