Sen. David Vitter has clarified his denial that a recently fired aide, who'd remained on staff for two years after being arrested for knifing his girlfriend, handled "women's issues." Apparently, he handled things like abortion, which is unrelated to women.

Brent Furer, an aide to Sen. David Vitter, resigned today over reports that, among other things, he'd knifed up his girlfriend good in 2008, sending her to the hospital. And he was the aide in charge of "women's issues." Ugh.
