Republican politicians are just whores who cannot tell the truth, but here is one prostitute who can pass a lie detector test.

A former New Orleans prostitute who says she had an affair with Sen. David Vitter has passed a lie-detector test and will provide details of the four-month relationship at a press conference Tuesday, according to Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt.

Wendy Cortez, whose real name is Wendy Ellis, says she had a sexual relationship with Vitter, R-La., in 1999, when he was a state legislator.

Copies of the results of Cortez's polygraph test, which she took at Flynt's request, will be provided to reporters at the news conference at Flynt's office in Beverly Hills, Calif., Hustler said in a news release Monday.

Vitter spokesman Joel Digrado wouldn't comment on the Flynt news conference. In an e-mail, Digrado said, "Sen. Vitter and his wife have addressed all of this very directly. The senator is focused on important Louisiana priorities like the water resources bill and the Iraq debate."

Larry Craig gets vilified and given the bums rush for possibly trying to make a friend in the men's room, with a man. The hypocritical Republicans jump all over Craig for being unable to control his sexual proclivities and act like he is suddenly radioactive.

However Vitter gets a free pass and continues to represent the American people after being accused of breaking the law by paying for sex, with a woman. Nobody comes out saying he needs to leave office or acts all indignant that he cannot control his sexual proclivities.

Now I know that Craig pleaded guilty to "disorderly conduct", but he could have been faced with those same charges if he had an argument with somebody over a parking space.

But Vitter paid a woman, who is not his wife, to have sex with his pudgy ass! That is a real crime.

Now just in case anybody thinks I am not being fair, I will go on record as saying I could not care less WHAT these guys do to satisfy their sexual urges. Larry Craig could pull a train in the men's room as far as I am concerned. And David Vitter could have orgy's in his hotel room with a dozen or more ladies of the evening. I would never deign to pass judgement on them.

That is if they were not total fucking hypocrites!

If you are a "families values" Republican then you have raised the bar for yourself. You are standing yourself up as an example of the kind of deeply moral individual that your party arrogantly demands that all Americans attempt to emulate.

So if you are found to be the complete opposite of the person you claimed to be, and campaigned as, then you should step down from your public office. Because you attained that office by completely misrepresenting yourself. You are a liar. And we do not need any more liars running our country anymore.

And if you are a party which claims to be the arbiter of that which is moral and ethical in this country, then you cannot choose to treat those who have betrayed your trust based on which betrayal you find personally the most repugnant.

I look forward to watching the Republicans demanding that David Vitter take a lie detector test, and if he fails , to leave office just like they asked of Larry Craig. It is the fair thing to do.
