David Vitter refuses to answer re: Brown

Here's the context: I previously asked him about the racist magistrate that refused to marry an interracial couple. Vitter declined comment and put out a statement saying that judges should follow the law and not make it up as they go along. So I followed up by asking the Senator if he thought the Supreme Court correctly decided Loving v. Virginia - the case that declares state anti-miscegenation laws unconstitutional. Vitter, a lawyer, said he hadn't read the case. Well, today I tried asking him about Bernanke and whether or not he'd be putting a hold on his nomination. Vitter told me he was late for a meeting. I said, "C'mon Senator, that's a yes or a no". He said "Your right, it is. And I'm late for a meeting." Another reporter walked up to Vitter and asked the same question: would Vitter be placing a hold on Bernanke's nomination? Vitter responded that he was inclined to do so and answered a coupla more questions. When he was finished, I decided to ask about Brown v. Board of Education...

Isn't Vitter the guy who busted with prostitutes while being married?

No surprise here from Vitter.

Maybe, he should be called "Vitter the Dither."

Isn't that what he is doing here "dithering?"

@Marvin27 hahahahahahahahah well said sir

Oh come on. We learnt about this in GCSE History in Britain. When 15 and 16 year old British kids know more about Supreme Court cases than a Senator...you know something's wrong.

"Senator, the real media is changing."

He shoots, he scores!

The diaper-wearing whore-chasing Vitter is in real danger of losing his Senate Seat in Louisiana to a Democrat.

He will not comment on these cases because he absolutely can not afford to lose the racist votes in Louisiana.

someone please send this to keith olbermann and rachel maddow, this has to be picked up by the main stream media. Then maybe those 10% blacks and 40% latinos who voted republican will actually know what the republican party thinks of them.... the GOP is just a club of bigots!!!
