Diapers

Many years after Monica Madness, I'm back in the "don't give a shit about the personal lives of politicians" camp.* After they opened that door, for awhile I thought everything was fair game for Republicans. But that era is, for a moment, over, and I'm happy to not care except in cases of gross hypocrisy. If you're anti-gay, your gay sex is relevant, for example.

But there's one thing that's been bugging me for years. We all sort of accept that David Vitter's prostitution issue involved diapers. And, frankly, so what. But the only source for this I've ever seen was James Carville. Did the diaper thing get sourced anywhere else?

I honestly don't care about the diapers. I'm just curious about the sourcing.

*Yes the illegality of prostitution makes it a legitimate issue over and above simply being a personal life issue.
