BuzzFlash's GOP Hypocrite Of The Week

Hey, it's Friday, which means it's time to check out BuzzFlash's "GOP Hypocrite Of The Week." It can be a grueling process to narrow the selection to just one Republican hypocrite, but this week BuzzFlash went with Wendy Vitter, wife of Republican Senator David "Where's the Hookers?" Vitter.

An excerpt:

Apparently Wendy Vitter put away her cutlery, because as widely reported, she had threatened to pull a Lorena Bobbitt on her husband, Senator David, if he were ever adulterous.

Of course, as a true Republican hypocrite, that was said back during the Clinton years in reference to impeaching Clinton for getting a blow job -- "I'm more like Lorena Bobbit than Hillary," Wendy V. bragged, "If he [Senator Hooker] does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me." But this week, Mrs. Vitter showed that what applies to Democrats -- and Hillary Clinton, in particular -- doesn't apply to Republicans.

When confronted with her husband's admission that he used a prostitution service in D.C. -- and multiple allegations that he regularly went to at least one brothel in New Orleans -- Mrs. Vitter, well, put down the knife and stood by her man.

Now if that isn't family values hypocrisy -- a blatant double standard -- then what is?

During Senator Vitter's July 16 news conference attack on "partisan politics" disguised as a mea culpa – aka standard GOP operating procedure when caught in the act -- Vitter blamed Dems for his flaming hypocrisy: "Unfortunately, my admission has encouraged some longtime political enemies and those hoping to profit from the situation to spread falsehoods too, like those New Orleans stories in recent reporting."

Sounds about right.
