On Your Marks... Get Set...

David VitterThe Washington press corps had better spend some time at the gym this weekend. They're sure to be jostling with cameramen and journos from outside the Beltway for the first glimpses of Sen. David Vitter, R-La., since his admission that he was a client of the so-called D.C. Madam, Deborah Jeane Palfrey.

Vitter missed several votes on the Hill this week to be with his family -- and stay out of sight. Fellow GOP Sen. Jim DeMint told AP that he expects Vitter to return to his job on Tuesday, when the Senate will be holding votes.

The Baton Rouge Advocate reports Vitter could face an ethics reprimand, and the Times-Picayune has an interview with a prostitute who says Vitter was a regular client.
