As pointed out in comments, Sen. David Vitter — DC Madam client — was a Giuliani supporter, doing outreach to the evangelical community. (Hindsight hilarity alert!) He has, of course, apologized for his “serious sin.” (Frivolous sin, in the Vitter doctrine, is apparently a-okay.)

As if you couldn’t already tell, Vitter is something of a confused person. It comes out in his policy as well. CQ reported this week on a move in the Senate to roll back the rather astonishing amendment Vitter added to the No Child Left Behind Bill that allowed military recruiters full access to student personal information. Vitter has argued in the past that the amendment is intended to address the needs of students that intend to enlist but then forget.

Because those are the exact kind of soldiers the army needs.

UPDATE: Link fixed, sorry.
