David Vitter/Prostitution Ad Features Mysterious Shadow, Maybe?

by Jim Newell  3:26 pm April 28, 2010

The Louisiana Democratic Party has released this new ad, “Forgotten Crimes,” to remind Louisiana’s voters that one time David Vitter wore diapers around and had sex with prostitutes, but faced no prosecution or professional punishment. Well, okay. But more importantly, Question of the Day: around :15-:16, are we seeing bush, grundle, scrotum, shadow of cock, or something else? Why is the Louisiana Democratic Party trying to “smear” David Vitter with these gritty pube videos? [Forgotten Crimes]

Reminding people that Sen. Vitter likes to wear diapers is a smear campaign (ahem).

Extemporanus April 28, 2010 at 3:32 pm

I’m pretty sure that’s David Vitter’s vaginal-rectum area. The bugs all but prove it.

weejee April 28, 2010 at 3:32 pm

You wouldn’t want them to pamper him would you? Oh, um, er…

Larry Fine April 28, 2010 at 3:33 pm

I didn’t see any schlong, did you?

TicChiracTac April 28, 2010 at 3:33 pm

Smear, get it? Because he’s a flaming bag of poo one must step on to extinguish. High five!

JMP April 28, 2010 at 3:34 pm

Part of Vitter’s problem was that he liked being smeared.

But I’m just glad to see that the Louisiana Dems have made an ad that, for once, doesn’t follow the usual political attack ad template, but is actually somewhat clever. Now if only the national Dems could do the same. Oh, and stop being afraid and remember that sleazy attacks are OK if they’re true.

[re=566385]Larry Fine[/re]: nope. studied closely, too.

SayItWithWookies April 28, 2010 at 3:36 pm

First, I have no idea. Second, I’m not going to look for long enough to figure it out. Third, who the hell wears a leopard-spotted hooker dress to her husband’s I-Was-Unfaithful press conference? That’s the question that’s been puzzling me about this whole thing. Well — besides how they made Deborah Jean Palfrey’s murder look like a suicide, but that’s not terribly funny.

freakishlystrong April 28, 2010 at 3:37 pm

“bush, grundle, scrotum, shadow of cock”, ummm..I don’t know, Depends?

Extemporanus April 28, 2010 at 3:37 pm

[re=566384]weejee[/re]: Depends…

(Had to get that out of the way.)

memzilla April 28, 2010 at 3:37 pm

Oh and thanks, Jim, now I can’t stop thinking of the old Cat Stevens tune, and substituting “Cock” for “Moon.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGNxKnLmOH4

Limeylizzie April 28, 2010 at 3:39 pm

Um, excuse me for asking , but what is a grundle (some grundle?)?. Excellent ad.though

Now that I’ve watched this clip, I’m thinking maybe yes, it would be good to punish him for breaking the law. Oh wait, I forgot: not gonna happen.

That was the raddest political ad since the Demon Sheep.

When does Chris Hansen show up?

bureaucrap April 28, 2010 at 3:55 pm

Those five seconds of shower-plus-whatever are actually from my favorite gay-porn movie, “Cardinal Sin”, starring several priests and the Archbishop of Austria.

BigDupa April 28, 2010 at 3:55 pm

Hate to remind you people, in LA, it’s all good unless you are caught with a live boy or a dead woman.

[re=566396]Extemporanus[/re]: They’ll never get to the bottom of this. Too many powdersmoke-filled rooms in Looosiana pollticks.

Aurelio April 28, 2010 at 3:57 pm

[re=566385]Larry Fine[/re]: I think Jim just made that “cock shadow” up to titillate us and to smear poor sad Mr. Vitter, because why not?

[re=566421]weejee[/re]: Does Venerable Vitter call his private shitter in his office the Powder Room?

Jazzman April 28, 2010 at 3:59 pm

People are so afraid of Vittles that they want to be blacked out for anonymity like mob witnesses? Makes it creepier, but somehow far less effective. I think clown makeup would do the trick nicely.

Extemporanus April 28, 2010 at 4:02 pm

[re=566421]weejee[/re]: I dunno. There’s still a chance that some hardboiled private dick will come along and crack the case.

Canuck13652 April 28, 2010 at 4:03 pm

It is sort of testament to the dumbness of Americans that political ads need to sound like movie trailers for anyone to pay attention to them.

Mr Blifil April 28, 2010 at 4:06 pm

At least when Vitter is handily reëlected we’ll have this to look back on with pride.

Ducksworthy April 28, 2010 at 4:06 pm

See. See. Going after Vitter is just like the RNC campaign about Obama rewriting the constitution, except it refers to something that already happened.

Jazzman April 28, 2010 at 4:08 pm

Come now. There are plenty of countries dumber than America. Alaska for instance.

Ducksworthy April 28, 2010 at 4:09 pm

[re=566393]SayItWithWookies[/re]: She did it to confirm that she was serious about her commitment to give baby Davy all the hot diaper buttsex he could stand, and then some.

SayItWithWookies April 28, 2010 at 4:09 pm

[re=566406]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: I’m thinking there’s some Big Book of Facial Expressions for Sociopaths that they all get it out of. Eliot Spitzer seems to have gotten his from Stone Phillips, but I’m not sure of the provenance from there.

TakingAmes April 28, 2010 at 4:10 pm

[re=566393]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Word.

And I’ll bring it up again, (mostly) sans snark. Why, when Democrats are caught doing illegal/immoral shit (Spitzer, Jefferson, Blagojevich, etc) do they resign semi-gracefully (except for Blago, but the hair requires significant upkeep), while Republicans who are caught doing illegal/immoral shit manage to stay in office while shaking their fingers at the rest of us over family values? I just don’t get it.

Spiro Agnew April 28, 2010 at 4:12 pm

I’m proud to say I interned in Senator Vitter’s office during the time he would have been banging whores. Also, I was in his apartment one time to deliver something from the office, while I saw no whores present, I assume they were in the closets likely with diapers on.

El Pinche April 28, 2010 at 4:17 pm

THE DEMONCRAPS ARE HOOKER-BAITING!!!!

Ducksworthy April 28, 2010 at 4:18 pm

[re=566453]TakingAmes[/re]: See here’s how it is. There’s two bibles never mind the Jews/Christians thing, this is old testament, the part with all the rules and most of us only get the one with all the rules but a small group of select people, people who live in or associate with the C Street House, also Michelle Bachmann and her prosperity church of the divine grifter, they get to learn about another secret bible that’s made only for them that says, Rules are for Fools! We are the Chosen! and Fuck You All! Amen!

mumblyjoe April 28, 2010 at 4:19 pm

Honestly, I hate to say it, but as funny as shitty diaper baby David Vitter is, I’m kinda sad that that’s what we all focus on. Seeing a prostitute while preaching family values, sure, but, well. Honestly, there are a lot of people that are into very strange, even disturbing things, like yiffing, or getting beat up by sexy clowns, justforinstance, that are nevertheless, are just what gets them off. And further, honestly, it even makes sense for someone with a poopy diaper fetish to seek the services of a “professional” when the thing that gets you off is that esotheric and gross, you’re looking at a limited pool, when it comes to uncompensated partners. It certainly makes more sense than Spitzer, who really just cold loved fucking ladies, but apparently couldn’t find a groupie if his life depended on it, also.

I mean, by all means, call him out on hypocrisy, and if it happens to be hypocrisy compounded by egregious political malfeasance, a la Ensign, call him out even more. But making fun of a deviant because of his deviancy seems unfair, and certianly doesn’t make us better than those family values fundie types.

Why am I putting on this enpassioned defense? Well, I have to come out with something here: I get off on human suffering. Not the pain-causing sadism sort, but just the knowledge that the things that I do happen to becausing deep-seated existential suffering to a large number of people. There’s nothing quite like it. Fortunately for me, though, I heard the RNC is hiring, and my fetish is a lot cheaper and easier to for them to slake than, say, being into naked lesbian bondage clubs.

betterDeadThanRed April 28, 2010 at 4:20 pm

This sounds like an ad for a series on cable. I think the Democrats are on to something here. They could do a whole series with the number of f-ed up things Republican politicians have done. There show would probably make money too.

[re=566453]TakingAmes[/re]: The “Liberal” media makes a big deal out of Democrats messing up.

Ducksworthy April 28, 2010 at 4:22 pm

[re=566471]Ducksworthy[/re]: Sorry. That too was sans snark, also. This is the cult feels it deserves to run Amurikkka. And they will not take no for an answer. Not this time.

[re=566437]Canuck13652[/re]: In a world… where everyone is horny….and one man…must wear a diaper.

And for the record, Canuck, you puck-eating syrupheads are stealing the last remaining good jobs in Southern California with your tax credits and your gay rights and your lack of deaths-by-earthquake. Of course, if the film industry were run out of Vancouver, it’d take like 2 years before everything looked like student-made Truffaut knockoffs instead of the spectacular awesomeness of Michael Bay blowing shit up for 90 minutes.

Or alternately, an Oscar-winner.

[re=566453]TakingAmes[/re]: It’s the same reason why everything former politicians like Gingrich, Palin, and now Cheney say is important and relevant, while the words of many current Democratic officeholders are routinely ignored, and forget about former ones (unless they’re caught in an affair, in which case it’s treated as if they were President).

Why is there a white hood hanging from a door knob in the background of the mysterious ‘former Senator Vitter supporter’?

Depends.

Why? To cover up some democrapic scandal in the offing!

Tim April 28, 2010 at 8:54 pm

Don’t ya’ll love how no one can tell the difference between the prostitute and his wife? They’re almost identical, and both named “Wendy.”

[re=566512]SouthernDem[/re]: Yes yes, definite wangdoodle. Happy now? Me neither. The real question is which gay porn site this ‘re-enactment’ was stolen from.

What Fresh Hell is This? April 28, 2010 at 10:50 pm

Can we get that show down-loaded onto our Grundles?

schvitzatura April 29, 2010 at 7:03 am

Spitzer can recover from his brush with “the oldest profession” because he was paying to satisfy his relatively sedate sweet tooth with multi-gemstone whore-diamond level call girl.

Vitter’s kink could only be satisfied by sex workers on the low end of the payscale, willing to put up with his diaperpoopy shenannigans.

Lifetime political recovery for Vitter? No. Lifetime of snickering and TMZ-gotcha style adverts at every turn?

Hell yes!

PlanetWingnuta April 29, 2010 at 8:55 am

Grundle ? i prefer Taint!!!!!

misterpearce April 29, 2010 at 10:37 am

As a man whose seen a lot of dick in his days, I can say with all certainty, that was a dick we all just saw. The 13 second dick.

hillarys_left_nut April 29, 2010 at 10:44 am

so it’s customary for poopy diaper sex enthusiasts to shower BEFORE? Seems kind of, I don’t know, pointless.

canadasteve April 29, 2010 at 12:37 pm

Bypartizoa April 29, 2010 at 10:46 pm

Seriously, the working girls he frequented referred to him as “Vitter The Shitter”
