Interesting fall out going to happen from this. 15,000 client names is going to do lots of damage in the Washington DC political world. She had a point in her press conference though!

I love this story. I mean, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this story. I think it's been posted in another thread on babble but I can't find it.

Anyhow, what I LOVE about this story is that this woman is sticking it to all those hypocritical big shots in Washington who have no problem with making prostitution illegal, but avail themselves of the services and then would like to hang her out to dry.

Name them all, Palfrey! Atta gril!

The latest.

quote:
Already, revelations by the 50-year-old California woman, dubbed the D.C. Madam, have cost Randall Tobias – a respected former CEO of one of the largest U.S. drug companies – his job as head of the U.S. government agency in charge of international development.

Mr. Tobias's name turned up on Ms. Palfrey's modest list of 10,000 to 15,000 clients' phone numbers, accumulated during 13 years of running what she called a perfectly legal “erotic fantasy service.”


I think it absolutely sucks that she was barred from selling her phone records in order to pay for the cost of her legal defence. I thought it was a brilliant strategy on her part - start a web site stating that she will be putting her phone records up for sale unless she receives enough donations to her legal defence fund to cover her expenses.

Here's the old thread. But since it went off topic, I'll just leave this one open and we can continue here, unless people start replying in the old thread.
