Anyone notice the D.C. Madame case dropped right out of the MSM...
For so many people in government at risk of being publicly indentified, this story has simply gone silent. Granted given the gag order, there won't be much new information about the names being released by the D.C. Madame and/or her attorney. However, there was lots of information available that has been reviewed and individuals identified.

Is there not one member of the MSM willing to pick up this story where ABC News left off?

1. John Stossel took care of that very neatly.
"Nothing to see here, folks. Move along."

3. That list will never see the light of day. At least, not an uncensored
one.

4. Yeah, just like the Gannon thingy.
Is there any truth to the rumor that Cheney used the service? Wasn't he with a different woman during his quail hunting incident? That was all hush hush.

6. The gall of CorpMedia...
Remember how they went after Gary Hart? Remember the non-stop coverage of Bill Clinton? Yet, when they are the ones caught with their pants down, it's "hush-hush" time.

I suppose controlling scandals is one perk of owning the nation's airwaves...

7. Journalists are competitive by nature, must be some heavy pressure to stifle this one...
You know there are media people with the information, and the risk of being associated with the disclosure of that information has 'put a lid on it.'

That is why I am a big fan of making sure there are extra copies of information in the hands of foreign news sources. It can be squashed there too, but only if it is discovered before it has already been published.

8. Who pays these journalists salaries?
The same corporate owners who support Bush and GOP.

9. Well, sexual indiscretions are an impeachable offense, nevermind the high crimes and misdemeanors.

11. Wouldn't it be nice if all we were dealing with was a BJ??
I mean that is ALL we heard about.
These guys are breaking the laws and rewriting them everyday!
I wish all they lied about was a BJ!
