WASHINGTON -- The "D.C. Madam" served a subpoena Tuesday on Sen. David Vitter, R-La., requiring him to testify about his use of the Washington, D.C., escort service federal prosecutors say was a prostitution ring.
The subpoena calls on the freshman senator to testify at a federal court hearing Nov. 28 looking into the business operations of the $2 million escort service Deborah Jeane Palfrey operated in the nation's capital for 13 years.
Vitter has acknowledged being a client of Palfrey's company, Pamela Martin & Associates, and his telephone number appeared six times in the firm's phone records between 1999 and 2001, when he was a member of the House of Representatives. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004.

Palfrey's attorney, Montgomery Sibley, said Vitter is being summoned to testify about what transpired during his sessions with the escorts. Sibley said he thinks Vitter might have been a client of Neble, and the subpoena also requires him to show up with any records relating to her or the service.

Vitter declined to say whether he would honor Palfrey's subpoena or challenge it. A spokesman said, "Sen. Vitter is completely focused on critical Louisiana priorities in the U.S. Senate."
Uh huh. Riiiiiight.
