HomoQuotable - Matt Foreman

"We are writing to state the inherent contradiction between your treatment of allegations of ethical misconduct by Senator Larry Craig and Senator David Vitter and to insist that you open an investigation into Sen. Vitter’s conduct. There is no explanation for the diametrically opposed responses to these two situations, other than hypocrisy tinged by homophobia. There are only two ways to resolve this: drop the investigation into Sen. Craig or investigate the allegations surrounding Sen. Vitter." - Matt Foreman, Executive Director of the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force, in a letter to Senate Ethics Committee chairs Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and John Cornyn (R-TX).

There has been no Senate investigation of David Vitter, despite his acknowledgment of having visited a New Orleans prostitute. In July, a complaint was filed by the Citizens For Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). CREW spokeswoman Naomi Steiner: "It’s outrageous that they don’t seem to be investigating. They seemed to jump so quickly with Mr. Craig and gave Sen. Vitter a standing ovation in the Republican caucus."

It should be noted that the Hill story mistakenly credits the NGLTF with pushing ENDA through the House last week. The NGLTF opposed the T-less ENDA.
