Rudy Giuliani is a straight-shootin’ law-and-order man, the guy who hounded the Mob (going after all Five Families at once!) and cleaned up Gotham, but when you look at his associates, you see some people who really know how to party.
First his state chairman, and now his Southern campaign chair. I don’t even want to know what his national chairman’s been up to, whoever that is.
But this business is not all fun and games. As the WashPost’s Dana Milbank reports, David Vitter has been sort of scarce since the news broke. And with good reason:
His wife, Wendy, told Newhouse News Service in 2000 that if her husband cheated on her, she would react less like Hillary Clinton and more like the Manassas woman who cut off her sleeping husband’s penis in 1993. "I’m a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary," Wendy Vitter said. "If he does something like that, I’m walking away with one thing, and it’s not alimony, trust me. I think fear is a very good motivating factor in a marriage."
No wonder they say he’s run off to hide in the Big Easy.
But that wasn’t the most interesting part of that item, from a South Carolina perspective. Check out this very strange comment that our own Sen. Jim DeMint offered when asked by reporters about the Vitter story:
"All of us have to look at it and say that we could be next. We all think that we’re not vulnerable to something like that happening, but the fact is this can be a very lonely and isolating place."
Say what?

This blog’s becoming pizza without pepperoni. A Brad monologue. News with no reaction until the news is history.
This is how censorship thwarts thought.
But, at least Brad provides a heads-up on the saucy stuff that’s coming, particularly if it’s headed at a Republican.
But don’t blame Brad for that. He can’t help it if the news that comes his way is gathered and filtered by an anti-Republican horde.
Anyway, who needs discourse when I can pretend to take both sides?
Me, that’s who.
