Moody75 says: "You may remember that Rep. Bob Livingston (R) was the congressman who was running the impeachment of Clinton until Larry Flint outed him for having numerous affairs.

Livingston called Flint a 'bottom feeder.' Flint responded 'Yes, I am a bottom feeder, and look what I found when I got down here.'

Here is the best part: Livingston's replacement was a one Sen. David Vitter (R). Ooops...

200707101639 Until his disclosure on Monday night, Vitter had been a rising star in the Republican Party's social conservative movement. He has stressed family issues, supports a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage and has pushed for reauthorization of an abstinence education program."

Vitter, R-Metairie, apologized for "a very serious sin in my past." "Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling," Vitter said in the statement. "Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the mater there -- with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way.
