Busy Guy
You say you got paid to have sex with Sen. Vitter (R-LA)? Well, lady, get in line ... (just out from the Times-Picayune)

U.S. Senator David Vitter visited a Canal Street brothel several times beginning in the mid-1990s, paying $300 per hour for services at the bordello after he met the madam at a fishing rodeo that included prostitutes and other politicians, according to Jeanette Maier, the "Canal Street Madam" whose operation was shut down by a federal investigators in 2001.
Late Update: Ahhh yet more fun. David Corn digs up a 1998 column Vitter wrote insisting that Clinton's moral depravity was an impeachable offense.

Pretty Friggin' Late Update: Quite apart from the prostitution, several TPM Readers note, even more disturbing is the question: what's a fish rodeo?

Yep, Even Later Update: "He seemed to be one of the nicest men and most honorable men I've ever met." Character reference from Jeanette Maier, former New Orleans brothel owner, on her alleged former client, Sen. Vitter.
