Network refuses to name clients of 'DC madam'
There was an almost audible sigh of relief in parts of America's capital this weekend after a TV network said it would not reveal the identities of scores of clients of the alleged "DC madam" because they were not well enough known to be "newsworthy".
IOW: Would have been more damage to the Donks than the Trunks. Or perhaps there was an ABC exec in the mix . . . .
ABC News said Aha! that, the execs immedately confiscated the evidence upon its arrival at the office and having locked themselves in a room with it ploughed through 46lbs of phone records, it had discovered that among the clients of Deborah Palfrey's alleged prostitution ring were senior business executives, Nasa officials and at least five military officers.
And among the women working for Ms Palfrey - who ran the network in Washington DC from her home in California - were an instructor at the US Naval Academy and a legal secretary at a prominent law firm. The secretary was suspended after telling her bosses she worked for Ms Palfrey "for spa money".
Now that's saucy! How about a 'burger Friday night? And bring the Little Bo Peep outfit this time, eh? You'll never know when that might come in handy.
Ms Palfrey, 51, faces federal charges of racketeering and money-laundering associated with prostitution. She claims she offered only "fantasy sex" and she was not breaking the law.
Standard Reply #36 for those in the trade, I'm sure.
The only government official known to have been a client was Randall Tobias, at the State Department. He resigned after being confronted by ABC.
Just couldn't resist, eh? So did he use a condom?
Another client named was Harlan Ullman, a columnist for the Washington Times and a senior adviser at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank.
I'm shocked. Awed, really.
