The Big Sleazy’s Insane Governor’s Race
What’s politically worse than having your name found on a call girl’s client list? Well, David Vitter might tell you allegedly fathering a child with one of the prostitutes is a start.
The senator from Louisiana pulled off what ended up being a minor miracle by finishing in second place in Saturday’s primary election for governor of the Bayou State, putting him in a two-way runoff. He was the odds-on favorite at the start of the campaign cycle but watched his lead slowly fade after a summer plagued by the ghosts of his past.
One ghost in particular has cast quite the shadow: a woman named Wendy Ellis.
.....
Then the Ellis interview dropped.
During the hourlong Oct. 13 interview with American Zombie, she added to the complicated situation claiming that she was terminally ill with lupus, which was compelling her to speak now while she still has the chance. Additionally,
what was deemed as more of a bombshell was her claim that she and Vitter conceived a child during their three-year relationship between 1998 and 2000 and that she gave the baby up for adoption despite Vitter’s urges that she get an abortion.
In 2007, Vitter apologized for a non-specific “serious sin,” alleging he had settled the issue (as best as one can) with his wife.
“This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible,” Vitter said at the time. “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. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way.”
