Scripture tell us of Jesus admonishing those who should take care of casting stones against sinners if they, themselves, have sinned.
The same admonition perhaps can be applied to politicians who cast pejorative terms against fellow pols.
U.S. Sen. David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican, called Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid of Nevada an āidiotā for comparing Hurricane Katrina with Hurricane Sandy while criticizing those who voted against sending aid to Sandy victims while scrambling to secure aid for Katrina victims.
Idiot, eh? Letās see: Wasnāt it Vitterās name that showed up some years ago on a list of clients belonging to a high-priced D.C. call girl/hooker? And wasnāt it Vitter who issued a very public apology with his grim-faced wife standing next to him when the revelation came to light?
Yes, Vitter isnāt the first pol to toss out a hypocritical epithet against a fellow pol. Nor will he be the last one.
Heās just the latest one to earn a Bronx cheer for failing to take care when casting a stone.
