Remember the famous words of Wendy Vitter, wife of David, in 2000.

I thought of them again yesterday as I watched him be given enough credibility to question Hillary. I kept remembering what his wife, Wendy, said in 2000 when she was asked how she would act if her husband had an affair.

Wendy Vitter about unfaithfulness, year 2000.

"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.”

Scandal-linked senator breaks a week of silence

Vitter, 46, acknowledged in a statement last Monday that his number was included in the telephone records of an escort service run by Deborah Jeane Palfrey, a woman dubbed by the news media as the "D.C. Madam."

In the statement, Vitter said the incident was "a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible."

"Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and from my wife in confession and marriage counseling."

Vitter's wife, Wendy, told reporters she had forgiven her husband when she learned about the escort service several years ago.

"I made the decision to love him and to recommit to our marriage. To forgive is not always the easy choice, but it was, and is, the right choice for me," she said. "I am proud to be Wendy Vitter."

I don't care what he does in his private life, but to give him the credibility he got yesterday is sickening.
