Flaming Liberal: Thank you Jeff for taking my call, always a pleasure to talk to the Congressman. Congressman, since spokesperson for the Republican Party William Bennett has said character counts. I would like to put the same challenge to you that I put to Representative Perkins and he accepted. Would you be willing to sign under the penalty of perjury an affidavit saying you have never had an extramarital affair and you have never known, met or been in the company of one Wendy Cortez.
Jeff Crouere:
Are you finished Flaming Liberal?
Flaming Liberal:
Yes Sir
Jeff Crouere:
Ok sir.
David Vitter:
Flaming Liberal thank you for repeating all these vicious rumors that my political enemies are trying to bandy about and those rumors are absolutely true and they really don’t belong in any political campaign and I’ve stated very clearly that they’re lies, but I’m not going to start jumping through hoops and taking orders from my political enemies who have absolutely no credibility. So, I’ll speak very clearly about that. I have in the past; I’ll continue to do so.
Cut #2
Caller “Tom”
Congressman Vitter, your answer to the Flaming Liberal’s question reminded me of Bush’s refusal to confirm or deny past drug use during the presidential campaign.
My question to you sir is this, would you have any reservations or trepidation about appearing on the people’s station WTIX on the people’s show Ringside with Republican Vincent Bruno as a co-guest to discuss the topic of one Wendy Cortez and if so, why?
Jeff Crouere:
OK, Tom. Congressman, I think you’ve already addressed that.
David Vitter:
Well, I’ll be happy to address that very directly. I’m not going to appear anywhere with Vincent Bruno because he is a thug and a liar. I’m not going to demean myself; I’m not going to demean the debate in the campaign by doing that.
