Repug Vitter's wife threatened to Bobbittize her hypocrite senator husband

[Guest Harry Hope]

"I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary," Wendy Vitter told

Newhouse News Service in 2000, speaking of the Clinton scandal.

 

"If (my husband) does something like that, I'm walking away with one

thing, and it's not alimony, trust me."

Press: Hypocritical Republican family values

 

By By Bill Press, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST

 

 

Republicans routinely paint themselves as the party of "family

values," without spelling out exactly what values they're talking

about.

 

Well, now we know. Louisiana Sen. David Vitter, one of the leading

"family values" Republicans and Rudy Giuliani's Southern regional

campaign chairman, is caught keeping company with prostitutes - and

fellow Republicans rush to his defense.

 

Vitter's is the first politician's name to appear in the not-so-little

black book of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the so-called "D.C. Madam."

 

Charged with running a high-priced prostitution ring in Washington,

Palfrey at first offered to sell her phone records to the media but

later, unfortunately for Vitter, published her entire list of clients

- all 15,000 names and 46 pounds of it - on her Web site.

 

As we soon learned, this wasn't Vitter's first walk on the wild side.

Jeanette Maier, known as New Orleans' "Canal Street Madam," revealed

that Vitter had been one of her regular customers too, beginning in

the mid-1990s, paying $300 an hour for services received.

 

And that's not all.

 

Details also resurfaced, as first reported by The Louisiana Weekly, of

Vitter's twice-weekly visits to a prostitute in the French Quarter in

the late 1990s.

 

Running successfully for Congress in 1999, and again for Senate in

2004, Vitter got away with dismissing allegations of sexual misconduct

as nothing but dirty politics.

 

When his name showed up on Palfrey's client list, however, Vitter had

to fess up - and did, sort of.

 

In a written statement, he admitted having committed "a very serious

sin," but he also insisted that was the end of the story.

 

"Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and

my wife in confession and marriage counseling," he boldly asserted.

 

"Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter

there - with God and them."

 

Wait a minute.

 

That's not what Vitter said about Bill Clinton in the fall of 1998.

 

When Clinton made the identical argument about consulting God and

wife, after details of his affair with Monica Lewinsky became public,

Vitter - then still a state legislator - condemned Clinton as "morally

unfit to govern."

 

If no action were taken against Clinton, Vitter wrote in the New

Orleans Times-Picayune, "his leadership will only further drain any

sense of values left to our political culture."

 

By his own standards, then, Vitter should be tossed out of office.

Indeed, his offense is worse than Clinton's, because Vitter also broke

the law.

 

Last time I checked, prostitution is not only considered immoral, it's

illegal.

 

Yes, believe it or not, prostitution's a crime even in New Orleans and

Washington, D.C.

 

As it turns out, Vitter's not the only one who has a double standard

when it comes to sexual hijinks.

 

So does his wife.

 

"I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary," Wendy Vitter told

Newhouse News Service in 2000, speaking of the Clinton scandal.

 

"If (my husband) does something like that, I'm walking away with one

thing, and it's not alimony, trust me."

 

Ouch!

 

If you think David Vitter's wife is more forgiving of her husband than

of Bill Clinton, hear what his fellow Republican senators had to say.

 

Utah's Orrin Hatch, who helped lead the charge against Bill Clinton,

said of Vitter:

 

"I've never judged a human being on those type of issues."

 

(Does he think our memory's so short?)

 

North Carolina's Richard Burr saw no problem:

 

"David has already resolved this with his family and taken

responsibility for it."

 

And South Carolina's Jim DeMint seemed to suggest he could be next:

 

"We all think that we're not vulnerable to something like that

happening, but the fact is this can be a very lonely and isolating

place."

 

So why does all this matter?

 

It shouldn't matter, frankly.

 

Who cares what two consenting adults do behind closed doors, even for

a fee?

 

And it wouldn't matter at all if Vitter weren't such a hypocrite.

 

But here's a man who posed as "Mr. Family Values" in public,

condemning his political opponents as immoral, while leading his own

immoral and illegal life in private.

 

He's a hypocrite, and so are all those self-righteous Republicans who

make excuses for him.

 

At least a prostitute is honest about who she is.

Now the Repug REALLY has a reason to frequent prostitutes.

 

 

Bret Cahill

[Guest Bret Cahill]

Threats of violence are actionable under the law. Now Vitter has

every reason to visit prostitutes (who also break the law of most

states including the District of Columbia).

Slow day around your house?

 

(Snip)

 

 

Obviously, there were several slow days around Vitter's, as well as nights.

 

Is it "Stand by Your Man"....or "Can't Stand My Man"?
