Sen. Vitter May Testify In 'D.C. Madam' Trial
Louisiana lawmaker May Be Called To Give Testimony In Prostitution Ring Trial
WASHINGTON (AP) ― Louisiana Sen. David Vitter may be called to testify on behalf of a woman accused of running a high-end Washington prostitution service, attorneys said Monday at the opening of trial.

The Republican senator was among several possible witnesses identified Monday in the racketeering and money laundering case against Deborah Palfrey. Prosecutors said they planned to call about a dozen former escorts and several clients.

Vitter, a Republican senator in his first term, has acknowledged being involved with Palfrey's escort service. But after issuing brief statements apologizing for "a very serious sin," he has ducked follow-up questions. At trial, he would not have that luxury.

Prosecutor Catherine K. Connelly called the witness box "maybe the hottest seat in D.C. this year." Attorneys for both sides told jurors they would see former clients discussing embarrassing and sometimes graphic details about their personal lives.

"It gives me no great pleasure to walk these people through these situations," Palfrey's attorney, Preston Burton, told jurors during opening statements.

19. Dave Vitter = "GOPer Family Values"
I pity Dave's poor stupid wife. Stupid or she would have hit the road by now. Maybe Dave is bringing in enough cash to make her think twice about kicking his stinkin' ass to the curb. Greed trumps everything else including pride in Pubbieland I guess. Mizz. Vitter can't be too proud of "sinful" Dave Vitter the Shitter.(or Shitee) I'll bet Mizz. V ain't happy when she hears the Whiffin'poop Song! Prolly leaves a bad taste!

2. Senator Vitter Ordered to Testify at D.C. Madam Trial?
Justin Rood Reports:

A U.S. senator who admitted to using the "D.C. Madam" escort service is fighting a subpoena to testify at her trial –- down to the opening gavel this morning.

Defending herself against a sortie of felony charges stemming from running an alleged interstate prostitution business, Deborah Jeane Palfrey has subpoenaed Sen. David Vitter, R-La., to testify.

Vitter's telephone number appeared in the phone records of Palfrey's business for February 2001, which Palfrey had released to the media. At the time that was revealed, Vitter issued a statement confirming he had used the service. Through his lawyer, Vitter has said he will not testify.

At a last-minute hearing Friday, U.S. District Court Judge James Robertson appeared to reject an argument by a lawyer who has represented Vitter that his client's testimony would be "totally inappropriate," reported Legal Times. The judge declined to nullify the subpoena.

If Dave has nothing to hide, why would he not want to take the stand and set the record straight?

6. Courtroom Fireworks Predicted as D.C. Madam Trial Opens
Snip>

The alleged D.C. madam -- she prefers "Washington Madam," thinking it more refined -- announced her own trial in a news release and has held raucous press conferences outside the federal courthouse and in Georgetown eateries.

Since her indictment last March, she's cycled through four lawyers, depending on how you count, and two judges. After haggling with a federal judge, she got her company's phone records released and implicated customers, including a U.S. senator, a former State Department deputy, the defense strategist who coined the phrase "shock and awe," and a prominent lobbyist. Even an Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld secretary was dismissed last year for moonlighting as one of Palfrey's employees.

If a hearing in federal court on Friday was any indication, the trial is bound to serve up heaps of make-you-blush moments. Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Butler asked Judge James Robertson if in opening statements he could mention that a witness had contracted a sexually transmitted disease (presumably, in the course of employment for Palfrey). After giving his approval, Robertson deadpanned: "By the time we get past a day or two of this , STDs will be the least of our worries."

At that same hearing, Henry Asbill of Dewey & LeBoeuf moved to quash a subpoena issued to his client by Palfrey's lawyer, Preston Burton of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe. Robertson denied the request.

10. "I did not have Beastiality with that hooker." - Sen. David Vitter (R)
"I had good old fashioned republicon diaper sex with her. But Jesus has already forgiven me, so go away and leave me alone. We republicons need not answer to the voters. Smirk."

13. Don't get another brown Wad in your panties Dave!
The GOP side of Congress is the perfect place for a shit monger like that to hide out.

The GOP stinks so bad who could ever pinpoint the poop?

Too cheap to buy toilet paper so they just let nature erode those messy stains away over time.

I'll bet if you had that dirty jobs guy on TV to do a show about the GOPers in congress, the'd all have those heavy duty, smelly, brownish, Dave Vitter style, skid marks in their unter-drawers.

Not only is Dave a John, but now he tears up that sign outside that courthouse and drives off without reporting the damage to public property.

Shit and run, led to hit and run!

Dave/John is a sinner and a criminal!
