Or maybe I should say "Only God knows." But God isn't telling me.

I know I said I would try and avoid writing about politics and religion, but...

Another politico has been caught in what he calls "a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible."

Sen. David Vitter's (R-LA) telephone number turned up in the files of the so-called D.C. Madam, Deborah Jean Palfrey.
Vitter issued a statement Monday that said: "Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling."

That's nice, but in 2000, Wendy Vitter told Newhouse News Service she could not be as forgiving as, say, Hillary Clinton.
"I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary," she said. "If he does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me."

Hey Wendy, if you're gonna talk the talk...
But apparently the counseling worked.

Need a major dose of irony? In the House, Vitter succeeded GOP Rep. Robert Livingston, who was in line to replace Newt Gingrich as speaker until Livingston admitted to extramarital affairs and quit Congress. Livingston had been a critic of President Clinton, calling on him to resign over his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Wow. Vitter...Livingston...Gingrich...Clinton. A political all-star team of babe hounds. Bipartisan, too.

I don't care what they do in their bedrooms. Or hotel rooms. Or offices. Or for all I know, their cars. I just don't. As long as they do their jobs well, that's their business, not mine.

But I don't want them...I don't want ANYBODY...preaching to me about family values, about morals. I'm a big boy, I have my own. They're nobody's business but mine, and they've evolved over the years as I get older and (ever so slowly) more mature.

So let me leave you with the BIG QUESTION. And it is a question, because I don't know.

Vitter says he received forgiveness from God.
Really? Did they chat?
Did God say, "Tsk, tsk Dave. Here comes Wendy with sharp scissors, but I'll be your wingman."?
Doesn't God have better things to do?

Oh I do hope so.
