Louisiana U.S. Sen. David Vitter, who loves him some whores, got spanked in a totally different way by our own U.S. Sen. Harry Reid today. (Sorry, Sen. Reid. It had to be done.) Here’s the account from the New York Times:

The Senate’s approval [of the $410 billion spending bill] came after one last round of angry debate over a number of amendments, including a feud between the majority leader, Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, and Senator David Vitter, Republican of Louisiana, over competing proposals to eliminate automatic annual cost-of-living pay increases for members of Congress.

Mr. Vitter wanted a provision ending the pay raises to be attached to the spending bill, while Mr. Reid proposed stand-alone legislation that would have to be approved separately by the House. Mr. Vitter blocked Mr. Reid’s proposal, calling it legislative trickery, only to then have his own amendment fail by a vote of 53 to 45.

Now that had to hurt. And not in a good way.
