Your good SPB follow the paper trail. Now I can't stop singing the song " Here's to you Mrs. Robertson". As for Vitter he's hosed, but now his wife is something else. Why in the world did she go to a press conference wearing a lady of the night dress. Is she now dressing and acting like the prostitutes her husband goes to see. Is this how she is saving her marriage.
Under Vitter's picture it should read be careful what you say about others it could happen to you next.

And a classic movie that will live on. Wonderful actress that played Mrs. Robinson: Anne Bancroft. Ah, and that leg showed her seduction.

And yes, I did see late yesterday the press conference of Vitter and his wife. And I couldn't stop laughing with the lepard outfit that Ms. Vitter was wearing. If she is "standing by her man", you don't want to wear a lepard, leather, and lace outfit to a press conference where your hubby is being accusing of having sex with prostitutes!!! What was she thinking? Female colleagues around the office have a few choice words about Mrs. Vitter's outfit. And they are brutal!!! And Vitter got caught with his pants down. And it is a shame that he is not doing his job and skipping important votes!!!

Senator Vitter is a hypocrite. I saw Senator Vitter and his wife on CBS yesterday evening.

"Why in the world did she go to a press conference wearing a lady of the night dress."

Mrs. Vitter did look cheap with that outfit. I don't think he will stay in office too long.
