Ouch

"Family-values" Republican Senator David Vitter (LA) becomes the first pol ensared in the DC Madam scandal.

OK, so a Christian Right politician is exposed as a hypocrite. Not exactly the first time this has happened (and no, I don't think it discredits the Christian Right). But the weird thing is this old quote from his wife Wendy, included in a Salon piece about Vitter:

"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," - Wendy Vitter, 2000, talking about the Clinton scandal to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
