Andrew Breitbart: David Vitter Is As Bad As Anthony Weiner

WASHINGTON -- Andrew Breitbart says he is "not a fan" of Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) for the same reason he doesn't like ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner: Both led sleazy secret lives that could have compromised the public trust.

Speaking freely with a wine glass in hand, the conservative online publisher whose work helped bring down Weiner told a Netroots Nation activist over the weekend that the problem is that such men are vulnerable to extortion.

Weiner sent lewd photos to women over Twitter, then lied about it. Vitter admitted in 2007 he was on the client list of a D.C. madam.

"I tend to think all these guys who behave this way put themselves in a position to be blackmailed," said Breitbart in a phone video recording of his chat.

He also mentioned former Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.), ex-Gov. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) and former Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) as politicians who could have been extorted.

Ensign admitted to an affair with an aide and quit amid an FBI probe into whether her husband was steered work to help cover it up. Sanford was censured after he was caught flying to South America to cheat on his wife. Foley quit after sending suggestive emails to congressional pages.

"I'm not a fan [of Vitter],” Breitbart said. "I'm not a fan of Ensign. I'm not a fan of Mark Sanford. I'm not a fan of Mark Foley. The guys who put themselves in these positions -- if they're Republicans or they're Democrats -- I don't like them."

But unlike Weiner, Ensign, Foley and Sanford, Vitter remains in his position of authority, although some conservatives are calling for him to quit in the wake of the Weiner resignation, which takes effect at midnight, June 21.

"I don't like Republicans or Democrats that behave this way with the public trust, including Vitter," Breitbart added.

Breitbart is a fair and even handed critic, unlike those in the liberal media, who would have buried the Weiner story of they could...

Then why did Louisiana forgive Vitter and re elect him?? Don't the voters in Louisiana have more power than Breitbart??

Plus Weiner is a very sick Pervert who was eased out the door by Pelosi and Obama..

Now Lakhota loves Breitbart.

Paul should start a pool about how long this will last.

The difference is that Vitter never lied about his situation, claiming he had been hacked. He manned up right away and admitted his guilt.

Yeah, just like he "manned" up about the doctored James O'Keefe pimp videos and the doctored Shirley Sherrod video, which Mrs. Sherrod is suing him over. Yes, Breitbart is a real man-upper.

... This is true, however didn't Weiner man-up by showing the country his naked pictures to prove he was a man? (joke). I think denying he was the guily party for so long negeted his manhood. Kudos to Brietbart for staying on the story!
K to you for your new well-deserved status....

Just my opinion, I have always liked him.
