'D.C. Madam' Sorry for Outing Client

[RamboLiberal]

Source: Breitbart.com/AP

A woman apologized Monday for outing a former top State Department official as a client of her escort service but said it was necessary to prove her company was doing legal business.

A federal grand jury indicted Deborah Jeane Palfrey in March on charges of running a high-class call girl ring in the nation's capital from her home in Vallejo, Calif. She maintains the escort service did not engage in prostitution.

Palfrey said she turned over phone records to ABC News hoping the documents would unveil thousands of clients, such as Randall Tobias, and compel them to testify on her behalf.

Tobias, who resigned Friday as head of the Bush administration's foreign aid programs, confirmed to ABC News that he used Palfrey's escort firm, Pamela Martin & Associates, but said he only received legal services such as massages.

Prosecutors have accused Palfrey of seeking to intimidate witnesses by outing them publicly.

H'mmm, are they getting to her?

[Tarheel_Dem]

1. Well, I'm sure she's probably received a couple of death threats..

at the very least. I don't envy her, or anyone who has intimate knowledge of this whole sordid mess.

[Bicoastal]

2. It's hard out there for a pimp...

:nopity:

[Ian David]

3. Surely, if The Abstinence Czar was a client, then the business must have been wholesome and legit.

That is why, I am sure, Randall Tobias's wife and children were also frequently treated to massages through Pamela Martin & Associates.

Right?

Right?

No?

Oh, well.

4. Legal ahe? Then why did homeboy quit?

[daleo]

5. I thought "outing" johns was pretty standard these days?

"Prosecutors have accused Palfrey of seeking to intimidate witnesses by outing them publicly."

Around here they send people to "john school", impound their cars, send letters to the wife, etc.

8. Imagine how many D.C. judges, attorneys, pundits, besides

the politicos, lobbyists, and other movers and shakers are on that list - you damn right they want to shut her up. IMHO this should be public and now!

[LiberalFighter]

16. Ohhhh I hope the likes of Sentelle are on the list

[Laughing Mirror]

6. They can certainly try

But how well she holds up won't matter so long as ABC has those damning phone numbers. Hers is a brilliant defense strategy, however. God Bless Pamela Martin & Associates and their ever-loving phone files.

[On the Road]

7. Intimidating Witnesses?

That's a stretch.

[brentspeak]

9. Doesn't sound like she's going to reveal any more names

[PaDUer]

17. There's an article

that says she's outing them all and notified all her girls to lock their doors and they're exposing all their clients which I'm waiting to see who's on that list..this could get real interesting..I wonder how many of our buddies are on that list..You can bet their carrying around extra underwear.

[anotherdrew]

10. don't be sorry, I'm damn glad another damn republicon hypocrite has been exposed

I hope the worthless piece of shit never works again. May he become homeless ASAP.

[truthisfreedom]

11. More power to her.

I hope she takes the whole city down.

[SpiralHawk]

12. Being a republicon means never feeling the need to speak honestly, or

accept responsibility for any of your own lies, corruption, cheating, stealing, mistakes, malfeasance, perversions, treason, or whatever you got

[alfredo]

15. There could very well be some Dems on that list.

[Mike Daniels]

20. I'm pretty sure that there are more than enough Dems on the list

Sexual impropriety doesn't play political favorites.

[slampoet]

21. Improprietry does come to the GOP more often. But also this kind of kink is nearly 100% Republican.

When someone talks about LEGAL Sexual Roleplaying, what they are talking about is S&M, B&D, submission, and other kinds of sex play that all revolve around POWER.

There have been dozens of surveys that show the people into these kinds of kinks are overwhelmingly Republican and Wealthy.


Democrats generally don't have sexual hangups and when they do these hangups are rarely about Power.

[alfredo]

23. Politically, the Dems are in a better position due to the GOP

setting themselves up as the guardians of morality, the family, and family values.

[rocktivity]

13. It was necessary to prove she was legitmate? LOL!!!!!

I admit I got a little scared when I read the thread title, but what she's really doing is tightening the screws. Think about it--exactly HOW does outing her clients prove she wasn't doing anything illegal? It can hardly be "witness intimidation" if it's true that no sex went on--all the clients would have to do is say so. That makes about as much sense as Al Qaeda following the troops home!

:headbang:

[slampoet]

22. Which would be better for you to admit to your mother, wife, and children??

You had straight sex with a prostitute? (Illegal)

You had someone spank you while they rode you around like a Pony? (Legal)

[Decruiter]

14. What about the rest of the numbers?

If ABC has possession of the entire client base, but elects not to disclose whatever part of it, do they now throw away what they don't disclose?
Or do they file it away as political capital to be redeemed later for access or scoops?
Who watches the watchers? How much will we let the holders of the documents tell us what they say?

[Orsino]

18. Why i s she apologizing?

Her defense is that nothing illegal took place. It's the criminal case that has forced her to use the info.

Let the puritans who want prostitution outlawed apologize.

[acmavm]

19. Sounds to me like she's putting out the warning 'get me off or you'll be

damn sorry you ever did'.
