prostitute called New Orleans prostitute tied to Vitter passes lie detector test:

[Larry]Flynt paid for Ellis to fly to California to take the polygraph, which
was administered by Edward Gelb, a past president of the American Polygraph Association…
While Hoeffel [a Tulane Law School expert] said people fail lie detector tests for
many reasons — a certain word might trigger a response — she said it is difficult
for people to feign telling the truth.
“Experts in the field generally agree that results where a person has passed are
more reliable than where they say a person has failed,” Hoeffel said. “You can fail
a test for all kinds of innocent reasons, but to pass one is much harder.
As it happens, many lawyers find them very persuasive.”
It’s about the hypocrisy, folks. He drones on about the sanctity of marriage, then pays $300 an hour to cheat on his wife. He should resign and not show his face in public again.
Don’t know about those experts, I easily passed a lie detector test to get a job and lied my ass off about the drug use. HOWEVER, the real point is Vitter, that scumbag hypocrite. Wouldn’t you love to be in the audience the next time he gives a speech about family values?
