Sen. David Vitter, R-La., is mulling switching parties and becoming a Democrat, because a Democrat having extramarital sex is not committing a crime, a Republican having extra marital sex is committing a felony and is unfit to serve in public office.

"Liberals hold Republicans to a higher standard," he moaned. "Sen. Inouye was accused of molesting a masseuse by putting his hand under her skirt and NOW called it a political act and called the masseuse a tart. Bob Packwood got drunk and put his arms around women and he was hounded out of office. Robert Byrd was a member of the KKK and is considered a statesman. Strom Thurmond was a member of the KKK and was considered evil incarnate."

We have tried to contact Howard Dean to confirm the ruumor, but he has not returned any calls.
