were the brain scans done on infants and then compared with their behavior as adults?

Vitter sorry for Maddow comment
Posted: July 17th, 2010

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) – Republican Sen. David Vitter apologized to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow Friday after jesting on a radio program that she only looked like a woman “a long time ago.”

“Regarding my remark during a radio conversation today, I apologize,” Vitter wrote in a letter to Maddow. “The hosts made their comment and I obviously chimed in. While we do not usually agree on the issues, I do not think you deserved that comment.”

Vitter’s comments came during an appearance on Rush Radio 99.5 in New Orleans Friday morning, during which the radio hosts joked about a high school photo of Maddow with long blond hair. The MSNBC host currently has short brown hair.

“Must have been a long time ago,” Vitter joked when the hosts said the photo portrays Maddow as “looking like a woman.”

Maddow has not responded to the comments

Vitter is currently in a reelection fight against Democratic Rep. Charlie Melancon. Despite a tumultuous first term, Vitter's favorability rating remained high and Melancon has as yet struggled to gain serious footing in the race.

Nice traps.  Needs to bring up her delts a bit....

Vitter... the guy with the DIAPER FETISH with HOOKERS...  doesn't really have all that much room to criticize anybody.

She looked good back in the day. 

God only knows the trash she was exposed to in college that drove her to this.  She probably dated some dirt bag and turned lesbo. 

That sounds like that "Higher Learning" movie.

In other words, it's the proverbial chicken-vs.-egg argument. Are the brain patters the cause or the effect of the homosexual behavior? You mentioned abuse. Listen to a number of men who have left homosexuality and they will tell you that they were abused as children. Gospel singer and pastor Donnie McClurken struggled with gayness, after his uncle raped him, when he was a boy.

I personally know a kid, who's friends with my older daughter (has/had a crush on her). Now, according to my wife, he's claiming he's gay. Of course, I also know that this kid was sexually assaulted by a male classmate and ain't been right since then. The humiliation caused him to transfer schools and he's been seeing shrinks, since the tragedy occured.
