Family Values:Republican U.S. Senator Busted Using Hookers. Wants To Pay Legal Bills With Campaign Money. Three Republicans On Federal Election Commission Don't See A Problem With This.

As you may know, Senator David Vitter of Louisiana was implicated in the D.C. Madam case and has admitted that he committed a "very serious sin."

Not only is he still serving as a United States Senator from Louisiana, but now he wants to use his campaign money to pay legal bills related to his being subpoenaed in the case.

This guy just can't leave well enough alone.

Anyway, the issue recently went before the Federal Election Commission.[1]

They apparently agreed that he could use campaign money to pay for "$31,341 in public relations costs and legal work related to a complaint filed with the Senate Ethics Committee."
