The FEC says Senator David Vitter may not use campaign funds to pay legal fees resulting from his connection to Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the D.C. Madam. Yes, it is the height of arrogance to try to pay one’s legal fees with campaign contributions, but Vitter is a Republican, so arrogance is part of the routine.
