Another Political Sex Scandal

This one involving Sen. David Vitter, R-LA, whose name has appeared on the infamous D.C. Madame list. Mayor Villaraigosa could learn something from the senator about how to pick oneself up after having fallen down:

"This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible," Vitter said Monday in a printed 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."

Meanwhile, we can all be glad for the sake of Vitter and Villaraigoa that we don't live in Iran.
