David Vitter spared from the witness stand.
David “WWVD” Vitter has been spared from testifying in the Palfrey trial.
Sen. David Vitter will not have to testify about his ties to an upscale
Washington escort service, a defense attorney said Monday, sparing the Louisiana Republican an embarrassing trip to the witness stand.
So yeah, he has been “spared” the “embarrassing trip”. Of course he is not spared the embarrassing media attention that he will get with this and every other sex scandal that arises between now and his 2010 campaign. And if everyone buys a t-shirt or bumper sticker, we can make sure that nobody forgets his “serious sins”.
