Did Giuliani Purge Vitter From His Website?
The now-famous "D.C. Madam" escort service recently released a list of their telephone numbers, which has now led to Republican Senator David Vitter apologizing for "a very serious sin."
It's a setback for the Giuliani campaign, since Vitter is serving as his southern regional chair. At the time, National Journal's Hotline called the endorsement "major" and "important." It also said Vitter would "help whip support among Southern conservatives."
But did the Giuliani campaign purge Vitter from their website, or was there a simple mix-up?
Lots of blogs across the political spectrum, at the time of the endorsement, linked to a press release on Giuliani's website talking up the Vitter endorsement. However, when we go to that page today, we get nothing but an error message saying "We're sorry! The page you are looking for is no longer available."
So did they take down the page? Move it? Is there some other explanation?
UPDATE: Nope, they didn't purge it. They just moved it with some other web changes. So it appears they're still flaunting their support of the guy:
"David Vitter is a good man - a conservative reformer in the Senate who has fought for free market economic policy, ethics reform and much more," Mayor Giuliani said. "I am honored to have David join our team and lead our campaign efforts in the South and in the United States Senate," said Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
