STAND BY YOUR MAN
I took the day off from Vitty blogging yesterday but thoughts of diapers and look alike Wendys still danced in my head. I'm not the only one to point out that Wendy da Wife and Wendy da Ho look alike but my last Vitty post led to a nice email from Blogenfreude at Agitprop who urged me to use Blue Gal's separated at birth image of the Wendys. Blogenfreude has been all over the Vitty story like a cheap suit; an arcane expression that I find oddly fitting...
The Vitter sex scandal is so Nineties, y'all. It has conjured up images of Bill, Hillary, Monica and the blue dress. Of course, Bill never paid for sex, wore a diaper or pretended to be a moral exemplar like our boy Vitty. Since Hillary is currently trying to extend the family dynasty, her comments on 60 Minutes in 1992 have been hanging in the air like a barrage balloon. You remember: how she wasn't like Tammy Wynette and wasn't some doormat who was out to stand by her man at all costs even though that's exactly what she was doing. Btw, that's not the exact quote but my googling hand is sore this morning: I call it carpal google.
Back to the post title. I was stumbling around YouTube the other day and came upon this choice (cherce?) clip of Lyle Lovett and Tammy Wynette performing Stand By Your Man on the Tonight Show in 1993. It made me think of Vitty and Wendy da Wife as they bask in the harsh glare of the sex scandal spotlight.
Oh yeah, the Lyle Lovett video was inspired by Celcus' Vitty post that quoted Lyle's tune, I Married Her Just Because She Looks Just Like You. Thanks, C.
This scandal just keeps giving and giving and giving ....
What is your take on the T-P's "Wendy" and Flynt's "Wendy". Do they look
like the same person to you? I think they mightily resemble each other, but
I wouldn't say they look like an exact match.
@oyster - I've noticed the same thing, but she looks so similar in facial
shape and in the neck area it seems to be a match.
I think they're the same. I think she's had some "work" done.
So would you hit it?
Every time that song is mentioned I think of Lyle's version that closed out
The Crying Game, which film I remember having seen with you and Dr A...
Another song that needs mentioning, perhaps posting is from the musical of
Peter Pan, which used to be broadcast on TV every year when I was a kid,
the lyrics of which went something like:
At last we have a mother!)
