Washington D.C.--And so, this is what the GOP saved horn-dog Senator David Vitter for-- to obstruct in the saving of a vital American industry from itself.
Sen. Vitter was spurned by the rest of the electorate and the majority party, then spake:
Congressional Republicans, left out of negotiations on the package, expressed grave reservations. A handful in the Senate promised to block the measure, which could delay a final vote for days.Sen. David Vitter, R-La. said the package has an "ass-backwards" approach to curing what ails the U.S. auto industry giving carmakers money immediately, and only later demanding that they restructure.

Smartly dressed journos should be asking the senator if he ever rode with Shirlington Limousine for trips to the Westin and the Watergate (Condi has an apartment there, and so did Monica Lewinsky! Oh yeah, and there was a break-in there once...). In light of the comments of the prosecutors of Deborah Jeane Palfrey that they felt "bad" about her suicide, we should be asking Vitter how he feels about it.
Would it surprise anyone that the investigation into the DC Madam began thanks to Vitter's philandering? How pathetic would that be?
"Ass-backwards." He would know. If they're dumb enough to pull-the-trigger and take the responsibility for the collapse of the auto industry (they won't), then the inevitable collapse of the rest of the economy, then be my guest. Obstruct away. Vitter and the rest of the GOP are anachronisms. Dangerous ones.
