The Louisiana Democratic Party has launched a “tongue-in-cheek” Web site attacking Republican Sen. David Vitter, poking fun at the 2007 revelations about Vitter’s involvement in the DC Madam prostitution scandal.
“The site, doingavitter.com, will offer tongue-in-cheek commentary on Vitter’s personal escapades, serve as a clearinghouse for information on Vitter’s record as a public official and create an online community for Democratic activists in Louisiana,” said a news release from the Louisiana Democratic Party.
The Web site, doingavitter.com, draws its name from a comparison, made by an anonymous Republican staffer, between Vitter and Sen. John Ensign — two embattled Republican senators who have been dogged by sex scandals.
“The Republican, who was not identified, accused Senator John Ensign of “trying to do a Vitter” after the Nevada Republican admitted having an extra-marital affair with a member of his staff,” the news release said.
Vitter’s office couldn’t be immediately reached for a response.
