Hmm, is not soliciting prostitutes illegal in the jurisdiction in which Vitter allegedly did so? Then 'tis no mere prurience, methinks! Besides, the question of consent is rather clouded by the presence of financial transactions, especially as a legal framework confining sex workers to the shadows leaves them with minimal protection against abusive exploitation.

Oh and also, I see Mr. Wallace still has yet to issue a wide enough denial to rule out my scuttlebutt that maybe he was referring to <a href="http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2008\/05\/21\/mccain-backer-hagee-said_n_102892.html" target="_blank">a certain John Hagee sermon</a>.
