Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) is still the Southern regional chairman of the Giuliani for President camapign, and the DC Madam still wants to call Vitter as a witness at her trial.

If Vitter is forced to testify, he would have three options, the Times-Picayune observes:

A subpoena would present Vitter with an awkward choice, legal experts said. He could say he hired a prostitute. He could assert his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and say nothing. Or he could acknowledge that he hired an escort but that nothing illegal happened.

Fun choices.

Late update: CREW has filed an complaint against Vitter with the Senate Ethics Committee.
