Now here is a debate........................

[Historic NY]

As is often the case in Louisiana politics, the exchange turned nasty with both candidates hurling accusations and insults at one another. Vitter took issue with a hard hitting Edward’s campaign ad that ends by announcing that Vitter “chose prostitutes over patriots” while he served as Senator.

Edwards defended the commercial, firing back, by saying:

With re­spect to the neg­at­ive ad, if it’s a low blow it’s only be­cause that’s where you live, Sen­at­or. It’s 100 per­cent truth­ful. The fact of the mat­ter is you didn’t say it was un­true. You want me to take it down be­cause you don’t like it. I un­der­stand that you don’t like it. It hits you where you live.

In doing so, Edwards seems to be invoking the age old adage, attributed to Adlai Stevenson in 1952, as well as to other Democrats before him:

If the Republicans will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.

Edwards was unrelenting in the debate, continuing to hammer Vitter for his unethical behavior, without mincing words. As the debate drew near a close, Edwards didn’t hold back. Referring to Vitter, Edwards asserted:

You’re a liar and you’re a cheater and you’re a stealer and I don’t tolerate that.

2. Yeah, diaper baby should just STFU and

thank his lucky stars that the ad did not go into graphic detail about his trysts with prostitutes. Creep!

3. To me, THE MOST astounding thing...

... about Vitter is that he ran again for public office! Does he have no shame? What does that REALLY say about his opinion of the electorate?
