D.C. Madame to Sell 10,000 Phone Records of High-End Washington Clients
http://www.politico.com/blogs/anneschroeder/0307/DC_Madame_to_Sell_10000_Phone_Records_of_HighEnd_Washington_Clients.html

Deborah J. Palfrey is unhappy. And, if you know who Deborah J. Palfrey is—and especially if you know her by Jeane—you probably don’t want her unhappy. From 1993 until this past summer, Palfrey ran Pamela Martin and Associates, a “high-end adult fantasy firm which offered legal sexual and erotic services across the spectrum of adult sexual behavior,” according to a statement she put out today hoping to raise funds for her legal defense.

The way she plans to raise those funds could reverberate through Washington’s power corridors. She is considering “selling the entire 46 pounds of detailed and itemized phone records for the 13 year period,” reports The Politico's Ryan Grim. In October, the Internal Revenue Service seized her assets; the sale of the records would fund her fight against the seizure.

3. Palfrey sent an e-mail to prosecutors this year that warned of the disclosure.
Palfrey sent an e-mail to prosecutors this year that warned of the disclosure. "I simply cannot emphasize to you the terrible and quite unnecessary ramifications this case (civil and/or criminal) will set off if permitted to advance," she wrote. "The press will have a field day. . . . I can state with unequivocal certainty this situation will be a very long and unpleasant one."

I bet there are going to be some sleepless nights in Washington.

5. Oh goody. More of my tax dollars being used to go after consensual adult behavior.
Good grief. If everyone's a consenting adult, the government should get the hell out. If prostitution was legal, the IRS would get paid just like everyone else.

21. ????
What I'm saying is that all this would have been exposed by the "liberal media" starting in 1994 ... every Democrat involved would have been outed ... Gee, didn't they have every woman within a klick of the White House being investigated for sleeping with Clinton?

7. Why can't the prosecutors and the state focus on real issues
Like all the failing schools? Leave the madame alone, she is only exploiting the sexual fantasies of pathetic and lonely men. I don't care about these "Johns" names being released, I just hate that taxpayers are funding this witch hunt.

9. Excellent, I truly hope that she indeed sells the records and they are made public
The hypocrisy and corruption in DC need to be brought to the light of day.

Perhaps this might lead to a desperately needed housecleaning.

16. Absolutely!
This is going to be more fun than when the DC cops were blackmailing "straight" guys from the suburbs going to gay bars.

How many of those 10K are family-values Repukes, do you think?

17. I am betting a good chunk of them are republicans
what I am looking forward to is the tale of Senator Blah Blah and how he promoted his call girl of choice to his Chief of Staff and how now she is his new trophy wife...

or even finding out that the Big Pharma companies were paying for these gal's services to the congress..and even better...big pharma logos tattooed over their asses...a corporate tramp stamp....so when the congressmen were enjoying it they could see who was paying for it...

:evilgrin:

19. A corporate tramp stamp!
:rofl:

I wouldn't put it past 'em, though you probably have to count all of the corporate pimps as well: Monsanto, the oil and gas industry, Mal-Wart, media conglomerates, Ford and GM, the 700 Club.

13. Sounds like she is trying to blackmail the IRS and Bush* Administration
Hope they don't go along with her and she has to release the records. I am sure there will be many Democrats that will sufffer but hey if you can't do the time then don't do the crime...

14. Wonder if she has the phone numbers for Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al?
May I bid on all NeoCon numbers?

18. Cheney and Rumsfield get off on killing...if they hired a call girl
I bet their fun would be strangling her..

I am thinking Santorum would be on that list..or perhaps Gingrich although I thought his preferences would be more along the lines of farm animals.

15. Would love to see where this goes
There is a long and sordid history of policians and and pros, remember the male prostitute ring uncovered in the 80's?

She seriously needs to relocate to an undisclosed location and do all her work via teleconferencing, cause the hit is probably already been called.
