'Hustler' Call May Have Prompted Vitter Admission

A call from Hustler magazine may have prompted a Louisiana Republican senator to expose his past with an escort service run by the so-called "D.C. Madam," the Blotter on ABCNews.com has learned.

Sen. David Vitter, R-La., sent a statement to the New Orleans bureau of the Associated Press late yesterday confirming that he had used the now-defunct Washington, D.C. escort service Pamela Martin and Associates, whose former proprietress, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, has come to be known as the D.C. Madam, thanks to her high-profile federal prosecution.

Last week, immediately following a judge's order, Palfrey turned over phone records for her service from 1993 to 2006 to Washington, D.C. investigative reporter and author Dan Moldea, with whom she is writing a book, Moldea told ABCNews.com.

The next day, Moldea told ABCNews.com, he discovered a phone number connected to Vitter in the records.

Moldea, who also works as an investigator for Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt, contacted Flynt with the information, he said. Flynt did not immediately respond to a request for comment from ABCNews.com.

1. Ooh! Ooh! I have an idea! What if...

WHAT IF we ALL called our Congress-Critters, identified ourselves as a reporter from Hustler Magazine, and left a valid phone number for them to "return" our call?

That would be WRONG, I know.

But still...

Hypothetically speaking... what IF??

3. Don't be giving me any ideas.

A sick mind is a terrible thing to waste.

[Mabus]

10. I like how you think

:rofl:

2. HeHe. Another Republican "A**hole of the Month"

They can't help thmselves.

[Lindsey]

4. I love the idea of invoking Larry Flynt's name and see if the participants

in the "escort" servce will come out now instead of waiting for it to break on the news. I'd like to call Inohof's (? on sp.)first...

5. ABC is trying to cover up for their sloppy jouranlism

They stated no one of any importance in congress was on the list. Now there is one. LOL

[bluestateguy]

6. And in the end, a hard core porn magazine did better investigative journalism

Pathetic.

[Alexander]

9. No, ABC covered up for the fact that THEIR numbers were on the list.

Two of the numbers, at least, can be traced to ABC stations.

I suspect Ms. Palfrey gave ABC the list to see if they'd be honest and fess up first.

11. Deborah is one sharp lady

and is being railroaded, believe me. I've been in contact w/ her for awhile.

7. gotta remember to get a subscription to that magazine...

i've heard good things about their articles. :yoiks:

[Barrett808]

8. Moldea's "Dark Victory: Ronald Reagan, MCA, and the Mob" is essential reading

Turns out Reagan was a front-man for the Chicago mafia for decades.

[David Zephyr]

12. Here's hoping that Flynt will investigate Cheney's involvement at Halliburton

That would be the grand slam of all times. Cheney using this very same prostitute service while he was CEO of Halliburton, wouldn't it?

Larry are you listening?

13. larry fuckin flynt

:patriot:

14. Love those investigative articles in Hustler.

Although the porn in that mag is not my cup of tea. I prefer softcore erotic films and natural nude glamour photography with no dudes blocking my view. B-)

15. Moldea is a force to be reckoned with

If you are unfamiliar with this man & his work, do yourself a favor and check out http://www.moldea.com

He and Flynt did some real damage to the repukes back in '98 http://www.moldea.com/Barr.html
