Palfrey revealed details of her escort service on ABC's news magazine "20/20" on May 4. At the time, ABC said it could not link any information provided by Palfrey to members of Congress or White House officials but did find links to prominent business executives, NASA officials and at least five military officers

1. Jake Tapper's a good reporter - it's too bad he doesn't reference the 20/20 report...

2. If they don't find a Democratic Senator/Rep on the list, you will

"wonder" whether ABC's decision not to publish Vitter's name before was political.

Someone needs to ask Brian Ross whether he called Vitter's office about Vitter's name being on the list. It is hard to imagine Ross wouldn't have seen Vitter's name, and contacted him.

3. Worse than that.

They reminded their viewers this morning that they originally "broke" the DC Madam story. Did not remind their viewers that they then swept the entire story under the rug a few days later.
