File this one under "If he was a Democrat this would be all over the evening news and drive-time radio":

Louisiana Sen. David Vitter may be called to testify in the upcoming trial of a woman accused of running a high-end Washington prostitution ring.

The Republican senator was identified Monday as one of several possible witnesses as jury selection began in the racketeering and money laundering case against Deborah Palfrey.

Vitter has acknowledged being involved with her escort service. But after issuing brief statements apologizing for "a very serious sin," he has ducked follow-up questions.

On the witness stand, he would not have that luxury. One of Palfrey’s previous attorneys has said he wanted to make Vitter say exactly what services Palfrey’s company provided the senator.

But it gets better (h/t HuffPost):

A car carrying U.S. Sen. David Vitter ran into a No Parking sign in the Gonzales Police Department parking lot Monday morning as the senator was attempting to evade members of the media, including the Gonzales Weekly Citizen, following a Town Hall forum event at Gonzales City Hall.

No one was injured in the incident, but the car – in which Vitter was a passenger – sped away from the scene with visible, but light damage following the wreck.
