Well, Diaper Man Dave Vitter, Republican Senator from Louisiana, is at the center of yet another controversy involving women, this time regarding a former aide who was arrested for violence against a woman.
Furer was arrested for attacking a girlfriend with a knife in 2008, but Vitter nevertheless kept him on staff for two years until the altercation was publicized, at which point he was ousted, supposedly for failing to disclose unrelated DUI charges.
Then it came out that Furer was Vitter's "point man" on woman's issues. How interesting. Vitter denied this (bold and parentheses mine):
Vitter faced the press again -- this time in Alexandria, where reporters again asked him why Furer's portfolio included women's issues. According to Vitter, "he [Furer] handled issues including abortion issues, including several other issues, but not women's affairs."
This revealing comment, comes from a so-called "family values" hypocrite who impeached President Clinton over Monica Lewinsky, all the while cavorting with prostitutes who were forced to diaper him as part of his sex play. The other fetishes mentioned in the post linked to above can only be surmised.
We're talking about, among other things, Diaper Fetishism. That's right folks, according to a trusted inside source, Vitter was well known among other Canal Street Brothel patrons to like diapers as well as other bizarre "fetishes"
Here is a press release from Vitter's website.
U.S. Sen. David Vitter today announced that he plans to use every procedural tool under his senatorial rights to filibuster, "hold" or block the Freedom of Choice Act from moving forward in the Senate. FOCA has not yet been introduced in the 111th Congress, but U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer authored a version of FOCA in the 110th Congress.
"The new make-up of this Democratic Congress and the Obama administration are much friendlier to abortion advocates," said Vitter. "I plan on making sure that the views of the many Americans who find this practice to be abhorrent are represented and to raise awareness about all the facts related to this expansive abortion legislation before it is quickly passed into law."
It is very telling about the real motives fueling many in the anti-choice movement. It has nothing to do with "saving babies", if that were its concern, US child and maternal health wouldn't be as bad as it is. The real motives in Vitter's case have to do with personal issues (I'll leave the diaper thing to Dr. Freud) and the desire to control women.
