Not just a condemner of moral turpitude, he's also a client

Slate Magazine:By Michael Weiss: Sinnin' ain't easy:
Louisiana Sen. David Vitter is not just a condemner of moral turpitude, he's also a client. Phone records show that he was a frequenter of Pamela Martin and Associates, the high-priced Washington prostitution ring managed by federal racketeering indictee Deborah Jeane Palfrey. 'I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling,' said Vitter. ...


It does rather seem that the preachers and pols who go on (and on) about sin are particularly inclined to know its temptations from direct (and intimate) personal experience. Maybe they can tend to their own needs for a while and leave the rest of us alone.

And I say that as a professional ethicist.
