You won't believe what Wendy Vitter said in 2000 about unfaithfulness.
Look out, David.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0707/4850.html

"Vitter, 46, then became Louisiana’s first Republican senator since the end of Reconstruction, and has built a reputation as a solid conservative, opposing abortion rights, same-sex marriage and gun control. Last month, he took a leading role in efforts to kill the comprehensive immigration overhaul bill.

In 2000, Vitter was included in a Newhouse News Service story about the strain of congressional careers on families.

His wife, Wendy, was asked by the Newhouse News reporter: If her husband was as unfaithful as former President Bill Clinton, would she be as forgiving as Hillary Clinton?

“I’m a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary,” Wendy Vitter told Newhouse News. “If he does something like that, I’m walking away with one thing, and it’s not alimony, trust me.”

“I think fear is a very good motivating factor in a marriage,” she added. “Don’t put fear down.”

12. A self-admitted castrating something-or-other.
Why drag religion into it? :-)

2. Is this for real, and where is the Senator sleeping tonight?
If he's at home, he better lock his room. :rofl:

13. It appears to be from the year 2000.
When the now-wronged little dear heart was taking a self-righteous stab at the Clintons.

Wendy: always with the knives.

10. Question about Vitter and the list.....

The article about a month or so ago said that when the list came out, everyone would see that it is "very non-partisan"

We're all talking about Vitter.. but is there still a list of names "waiting to be released"? http://eliteleague.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/duh!.gif

11. Alimony or sliced baloney? What a dilemma.
Neither David nor Wendy sound like "the marrying kind."

14. Wasn't Vitter himself in the House then?
If so, he must have been another one of those Rethug hypocrites voting to impeach Clinton!

18. Whether taking a stab at the Clintons or not, that response says a lot
It says to me that the Vitter house has never been a great place to be. I would have never poked fun at anyone using serious bodily harm to be funny.

And she wasn't even funny. x(

20. Classic conservatism in a nutshell.
Tough on crime, fidelity, welfare... easy to be strong and tough as long as it's SOMEBODY ELSE you are being tough with. When it's your own turn, well then, forgiveness, second chances, and privacy are all you hear.

Note to conservatives: You can be charitable and understanding ALL THE TIME. And you can even do it without letting crime run rampant, having sex with your dog, and putting everybody on welfare.

23. So remember boys and girls, if you find a penis on the side of the road,
don't pick it up, for it might Vitter's.

25. Can you imagine what it might go for on Ebay?
Especially if you can see the face of Jesus or the Virgin Mary on it.

27. The other Wendy
'...
But after nearly a year of regular paid assignations with Vitter, the lawmaker asked her to divulge her real name, according to Treen, citing the account he said she gave him. Her name was Wendy Cortez, Treen said. She said Vitter's response was electric. "He said, 'Oh, my God! I can't see you anymore," John Treen told me, citing the woman's account to him and noting that Vitter's wife is also named Wendy. And Wendy Vitter does not appear to be the indulgent type.

Asked by an interviewer in 2000 whether she could forgive her husband if she learned he'd had an extramarital affair, as Hillary Clinton and Bob Livingston's wife had done, Wendy Vitter told the Times-Picayune: "I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary. If he does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me."
...'
