Senator's Number on 'Madam' Phone List

Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) apologized last night after his telephone number appeared in the phone records of the woman dubbed the "D.C. Madam," making him the first member of Congress to become ensnared in the high-profile case.

The statement containing Vitter's apology said his telephone number was included on phone records of Pamela Martin and Associates dating from before he ran for the Senate in 2004.

Vitter is another one of those conservatives who is against gay marriage rights.

From Wikipedia.org:

In June 2006, Vitter came out strongly in favor of amending the U.S. Constitution to ban same sex marriages. He said, "I don't believe there's any issue that's more important than this one ... I think this debate is very healthy, and it's winning a lot of hearts and minds. I think we're going to show real progress."

It is more important for this guy to do something evil like pushing an amendment that would be the first to limit freedom and discriminate against a minority group than solving problems that Americans actually care about like our occupation of Iraq, global warming, or our broken healthcare system. Could someone explain to me why the world is so insane that a guy like this gets elected to the U.S. Senate?!

He doesn't want gay people to have equal rights to the benefits of marriage, but he is free to enjoy those same benefits, which he so easily wants to deny to others, while he abuses his own marriage by committing adultery?

I think that marriage rights should be equally accessible to everyone, but if anyone deserves to be banned from marriage rights, it is adulterers like Sen. Vitter, not homosexuals.
