"I'm a conservative who opposes radically redefining marriage, the most important social institution in human history," Vitter, a Republican in the U.S. Senate, wrote in a letter last year to The Times-Picayune in New Orleans.
That self-created image, a political winner here since 1991, took a serious tumble Monday with the revelation that Vitter's phone number was among those kept by the so-called D.C. Madam, who is accused of running a prostitution ring.

Republican Senator David Vitter has been forced to admit he used the escort services of Deborah Jane Palfrey, the "DC madam" who is accused of providing call girls to Washington's elite.
Senator Vitter strongly opposes gay rights and is a 'family values' stalwart.
In 2005 he compared same-sex marriage to hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which devestated his home state of Louisiana. "It's the crossroads where Katrina meets Rita. I always knew I was against same-sex unions," he said.
Senator Vitter said in a statement today that God had forgiven him for his sins, along with his wife.
Ms Palfrey claims the services she provided were erotic roleplay and not sex, and therefore she is innocent.
