One must wonder. . .did the wife drop the dime that Stanford was missing?

[wndycty]

If so, perfect revenge.

1. That's an incredibly plausible possibility. n/t

[damntexdem]

12. Well, she said she wasn't concerned -- likely about as truthful as a GOP politician.

;-)

[malta blue]

2. If I understand the chronology, it was she who came

out and said she had no idea where he was.

[wndycty]

5. She could have very easily provided cover. . . oh he is out of the country with friends. . .

. . .seriously, the press would have backed off a bit.

[malta blue]

13. I have never been in her situation. And yes, she could

have covered for him since apparently the affair was discovered months ago.

I think she did it on purpose. :thumbsup:

[damntexdem]

15. Hey, wait a minute: we knew that the Appalachian Trail was an incredibly appaling cover story.

How do we know that the Argentinian mistress isn't a cover story under the cover story? What's he really hiding? For example, did he really spend the week helping the Iranian authorities crack down on the protesters? ;-)

3. I think it's possible

I was just talking to my mom and she said the same thing, it could have been the wife that told. It certainly would serve him right.

4. While it's not out of the question, I doubt she'd risk her meal ticket

I think his office dropped the dime when they called him at home repeatedly and got nothing out of the wife.

After all, if they'd known about the affair for months, they had to suspect foul play.

[wndycty]

6. Yeah but when the press asked she could have VERY EASILY covered for him

:kick:

[Warpy]

7. Well, she did say he disappeared from time to time

to clear his head (and his prostate?). She did sort of cover for him by saying this was a fairly normal thing for him to do.

Her lack of concern over his whereabouts is what raised all the red flags.

9. DUer Aregritsgroceries said the wife is the one with the money n/t

[Warpy]

16. Now it seems she threw his sanctimonious ass out 2 weeks ago

This guy's judgment has gone totally out the window.

14. What Risk

He won't divorce her, and even if he does she has him by the balls now. Any divorce is going to set her up for the rest of her life.

She may be completely different then Vitter's wife, who was probably very afraid of losing her meal ticket.

[malaise]

8. He said she knew about the affair five months ago

which means those pre-teens also know. She must have seen him packing that car before she took her sons to the beach house for fathers' day weekend.

It's quite possible that she called a few people Thursday night.

[Dappleganger]

11. No doubt those pre-teens knew.

Our teens and pre-teen can read me like a book.

[democracy1st]

10. yes she did she busted this fool

[malaise]

17. Latest - her statement

---------
I think her comment that she didn't know where he was gave the story more teeth, but reading the above suggests she could have done a lot more damage.
