Louisiana: Land of the Bayou, Oil-Soaked Beaches and Lying Senators

Not only has GOP Cocksucker #301 (SEN. DAVID VITTER) lied about patronizing hookers to change his dirty diapers, now we've got him on another one.

This one involves his former aide, GOP Cocksucker #399 (BRETT FURER) .

#399 pled guilty two weeks ago to threatening his girlfriend with a knife. The minute that news became public and Furer's history od DUI's and cocaine possession, #301 said, he forced #399 to resign.

When #301 went to file papers for his re-election, he sat down to talk to reporters, which is standard in this situations. To his amazement, he wasn't asked softball questions about filing for office. Instead, the reporters started peppering him with questions about #399 and the hooker business, which, a year later, STILL won't go away.

A flustered Vitter, asked why #399 worked on woman's issues even after he knew about the knife incident, said #399 DIDN'T work on women's issues. He was asked this again to make sure his position was correct and he said yep, that was the case. Never worked on women's issues. And he didn't know about Furer's DUI's or cocaine possession. Second he found out, Furer was told to get out.

Now, knowing Vitter's history of lying, ABC News didn't take his word for it. It decided to check out that claim about women's issues. It didn't take the news network long to find the congressional staff guidebooks, like the one published by Capitol Advantage, for example, which lists #399 as #301's point man on women's issues. C.A. gets it's information from the congressional office listed. Other similar guidebooks say the same thing.

Then ABC interviewed Beth Meeks, the executive director of the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Meeks said she was told that in #301's office, #399 was the one to see when it came to women's issues.

So this means that either Meeks, Vitter's office and the guidebooks are lying or Vitter's lying. Which one do you think sounds more plausible?

With thanks to ABC News and TPM Muckraker.
