GOP Senator's Phone Number on Wrong List

The DC Madam has posted her phone list on the internet, and one GOP Senator is getting some unwanted notoriety:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. David Vitter, R-La., apologized Monday night for "a very serious sin in my past" after his telephone number appeared among those associated with an escort service operated by the so-called "D.C. Madam."

Vitter's spokesman, Joel Digrado, confirmed the statement in an e-mail sent to The Associated Press.

"This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible," Vitter said in the statement. "Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there - with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way."

Why couldn't it have been one of the GOP Senators we don't like? Of course, being from Louisiana this will be seen as a standard rite of passage for a Louisiana politician.
