Vitter may be forced to testify

Rekindling a scandal Sen. David Vitter hoped had faded, the attorney for the "D.C. Madam" asked Friday for a subpoena to force the Louisiana Republican to testify about his involvement in what prosecutors say was a high-priced prostitution ring.

Montgomery Sibley said he had asked the clerk of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., to issue a subpoena to Vitter to testify at a Nov. 28 hearing that could spill salacious details of the scandal that has captivated the nation's capital for more than a year.

Judge Gladys Kessler ordered the hearing to determine whether Deborah Jeane Palfrey, 50, can proceed with her breach-of-contract lawsuit against a woman she once employed as an escort. Palfrey said she signed contracts with all her escorts promising they wouldn't do anything illegal and that Paula Neble broke it by engaging in prostitution.

"The issue at the hearing is whether the lawsuit is legitimate or not," Sibley said in an interview. "Part of the proof will be whether the escort was breaking that contract. Only two people will know that answer: the escort and the customer."

4. Craig didn't pay and didn't have sex

And he's an outcast with the Republicans. Vitter paid for sex, and apparently had something going on with the woman, and he's still in the caucus in good standing. (Yeah, I said "caucus.") The free market lives, baby.

[...of J.Temperance]

7. Larry Craig is an outcast with the Republicans simply because

He's gay or is bisexual.

Senator Shitter is still okay with the GOP, even though he gets off on crapping in a diaper, getting some hooker to wipe his ass and then give him a blow-job....it's okay....Shitter was with a WOMAN....if it'd of been with another man, he'd have got the Larry Craig treatment.

What does that say about the GOP? A party of Homophobes....but they're okay with weirdass pervert's crapping in adult diapers.

When Shitter ran for that Senate seat against Christopher John, there was ALREADY rumors about him and hookers, there was some rumor about how he'd beaten up a few hookers....nothing back then though about his crapping in adult diapers.

He's a freak....I hope we can take him down when he's up for re-election....Christopher John SHOULD run against him again, I bet John would win this time as well.

15. Clinton was with a woman and they didnt give him a pass

[...of J.Temperance]

18. Do I ACTUALLY HAVE to point out to you that

President Clinton is a Democrat?

Look at The Ghoul, Rudy Guiliani, on Mrs. Guiliani III, Rudy obviously can't keep it zipped....but not ONLY does the GOP give Rudy a pass, they consider him TOTALLY okay material to run for President....he's a Republican you see, so his "behavior" is fine by them....were he a Democrat though, well they'd try and gut him obviously.

Total hypocrisy from the Party of Hypocrites.

5. Vitters Response

Goo Goo Gag Gag!

6. Vitter is probably shitting his diaper

8. He might be able to weasel out if he can prove he was

engaged on 'official business' or some such. I think Sen. Craig thought about trying that too. Vitter is a hypocrite law-and-order Repug, as are those that defend him. He's a law-maker that committed a crime. I think it shouldn't be, but it is right now, and the average citizen would be facing some pretty tough consequences.
I hope there's a subpoena and Vitter has to spin to the voters why it's OK that he break the law after making some, and they have to remember and obey them all.

9. Normally, I'd let him slide

but after what the Rep hypocrites did to Bill Clinton, let the litigation roll.

[Beerboy]

10. Why would you possibly consider letting this guy slide?

I think prostitution should be legalized, but it's not. Vitter is supposed to be working for all of us; at least we all pay his salary and benefits to make law, not break it. That's a very minimal standard to which a U.S. Senator should be held accountable, don'tcha think?
This stinks on it's own, it has nothing to do w/ 'revenge' for Pres. Clinton. There might be unfortunate similarities should Vitter wag his finger or tap his toes on the tee-vee whilst lying!
This guy needs to answer a subpoena.

11. I don't give a whit what legislators do once their work day is done.

By all accounts JFK was a certifiable sex addict, and I'm sure that many of the women he slept with were compensated, in one way or another. But I'm sure glad he wasn't impeached for it before the Cuban Missile Crisis (where he saved us from nuclear war with the USSR).

Newt was having an affair while supporting Bill's impeachment. It's this kind of hypocrisy that makes it impossible for me to let the "family values" crowd off the hook, when they get caught with their knickers down.

[Beerboy]

12. I think we agree more than we don't,

but I think you're reaching a bit in comparing the circumstances of a President in a completely different era to a tawdry crime that a lowly Senator did a few months ago.
Yeah, America hates hypocrisy, but if their President is nailing Marilyn Monroe, well, that's just one of the things that makes America a great country:D

[Indi Guy]

13. Sorry to disagree

Sex respects no era. ;)

[Beerboy]

14. All right then, that's what I said in the 1st place!

B-)

16. lovely

17. I hope they don't threaten him with a spanking

[Roy]

20. That will induce a guilty plea for sure. Name the crime he'll confess. n/t

[MilesColtrane]

21. I hope the attorney doesn't Pamper Vitter.

A good lawyer Luvs to get a witness under oath for his testimony.
