“One would hope… that when an officeholder commits serious offenses, the negative reaction of the citizenry would make it impossible for him to govern effectively.”
—State Rep. and Tulane and Loyola Law adjunct professor David Vitter, writing about the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinski scandal in a New Orleans Times-Picayune op-ed in 1998.
“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. I think fear is a very good motivating factor in a marriage.”
—Wendy Vitter, in an interview with Newhouse News Service in 2000, discussing what she would do if her husband cheated on her.
“You paid the man for two years after he pled guilty to three misdemeanor charges against women,” he said. “He stabbed her … big scar under her neck … he choked her. What do you say to that?”
—Former Plaquemines Parish Sheriff and State Rep. Ernest Wooton, one of six participants in a debate leading up to the 2010 U.S. Senate election, questioning Vitter on why his former aide, Brent Furer, remained on staff for two years after being arrested on suspicion of assaulting a female friend with a knife and threatening to kill her.

Saban: ‘I’m not going to be the Alabama coach’ ESPN 12/21/2006

Hahahahaaaaa!!!
Bringing it all together….
Money and power are the greatest motivators and aphrodisiacs in the world. If Wendy the wife had really taken her philandering husband to account she would have given up both and faded into obscurity. She might have gotten a nice settlement but lost the Washington address and now her shot at the governor’s mansion. What’s a little self respect when you can have all the goodies that follow when you have a powerful husband?
