David Vitter is a Republican Senator from Louisiana. What is significant about this senator- well he was caught in a sex scandal after his phone number was found in a famous case almost two years ago. Apparently the Louisiana Senator was having an affair with a prostitute in the famous D.C. Madam prostitution ring. In an article found in The Natchez Democrat, Senator David Vitter publicly announced that he apologizes for his sin. The Senator has been reported saying, "several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling"..."Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there -- with God and them." Apparently God's forgiveness played a very important role to Senator Vitter overcoming the scandal.
I find it almost ironic that this Senator was reported as being a religious man, yet he was caught in a sex scandal. I still find it surprising that not only Vitter was found in a sex scandal, but many other Congressmen as well. This makes me really question how religious people are and also makes me think that everyone can make a mistake.
