Sen. David Vitter: Another Victim of Gay Marriage →[More:]
Also:

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 reporter: If her husband were as unfaithful as Livingston or former President Bill Clinton, would she be as forgiving as Hillary Rodham 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.”

I saw the second link quoted in the first one, and had to find the whole quote... heh!

Thanks for the link, BP. Jon Swift is often very funny, and good satirical essays are hard to find online.

Mitt Romney recently said that every kid "deserves a Mom and a Dad." I hope that someday we can all agree that mixed-sex couples are not inherently more fit to raise children than same-sex couples are. That smacks of so much moral superiority, which certain members of fundamentalist politics don't really have.

What a remarkable coincidence; it's also a good reason to be religious!

Fake people marry scary people. Appropriately for our entertainment. I do not want to like this story, but I do. No, no, I don't.
