In the wake of the scandal involving Senator Vitter, Wendy has chosen to stand by her husband throughout this time. When the Lewisky scandal broke, former First Lady and current NY Senator Hillary Clinton chose to do the same. I haven't heard of nor have I witnessed any backlash against Senator Vitter's wife for the decision that she made, yet when Hillary made that same decision there was backlash against her for choosing to stand by her husband. Doesn't that sound rather hypocritical?

yup.

that's the message that i get from the conservative pundits out there who are openly expressing admiration for this woman who has been so thoroughly humiliated by her sleazy husband.

oddly, many of these same people condemned hillary clinton when she stood by her husband for having an extra marital affair that didn't involve prostitutes, fetishes or diapers.

In either case its a private matter, but of course Clinton was dragged through the mud by the Clinton haters. Clinton committed perjury in a deposition in a case (Paula Jones) that never came to trial, if that were the big deal the opposition makes it out to be then most divorce cases would end up with everyone in jail for perjury.
He choose to plead guilty as his legal bills were astronomical.
Hypocrisy is the middle name of the Republican party, much to its shame the past few years have consisted of them pulling apart people for some of the dumbest things, like haircuts, and middle names, and shoe size, and we, the people gobble it up.Sometimes it is for more serious things, like destroying the reputations of men in the armed services because their man never went. If they are hypocrites, we are fools too easily led.

the rules are not the same for dems and reps. Reps are going for a dictatorship and Americans are allowing it to happen by not speaking up. The double standard is running rampant in the US. Bush just needs a little mustache now.

I agree with you. Most Republicans are hypocrites. Do not vote for this party. I have become an independent rather than be affiliated with the GOP.

Cons went after Hillary the same way they always go after people - go back and listen to the kind of garbage that right wingers were spewing back then.

Democrats aren't going to stoop to that level.

And Republicans just want it to quietly go away.

There is no difference. Small brained thick headed republicans think there is. But it's always a "different" matter when it's one of their team members that gets their hands caught in the cookie jar!

Some differences here, but he is still wrong.

1) He did admit to it once he knew he was caught. Unlike Clinton who said he was never alone with "that woman".

2) He didn't lie to any committee to cover it up. Clinton even went on national television and pointed that crooked finger and said"I did not have sex with that woman".

Yeah it is hypocritical, but isn't that the American Way? Drives me nuts! Maybe because people like to talk about hetrosexual sex scandal, but not gay sex scandals.

Your thinking does not follow the republican doctrine of do as I say not as I do. It's okay for them, but if it's a dem then it is not moral.

I'd have more respect for Wendy if she left him if it happened again. Hillary keeps on standing time and time again.
