NRSC Should Return Vitter Money

While I'm sure the NRSC staffers are currently busy reading up on David Vitter receiving phone calls from brothels during House votes, maybe they should consider returning the contributions they took from the fundraiser that Vitter hosted for Liddy Dole and the committee:

Dole has also designated other senators, such as John Sununu (N.H.), Trent Lott (Miss.), Ted Stevens (Alaska), John Cornyn (Texas) and Orrin Hatch (Utah), regional fundraisers.

And she has put lawmakers in charge of fundraising events. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) hosted a fundraising event Tuesday evening with the NRSC's "Inner Circle," a group of donors who must pay $2,000 for annual membership.

Senate Assistant Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) tonight will host the committee's 11th annual Senate Majority Celebration, a mega event honoring Vice President Dick Cheney. And tomorrow, Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) will host a fundraiser with members of the committee's "Presidential Round Table," a group of business and civic leaders. (The Hill, 9/28/05)
