Though it would be interesting to see this followed up on.

4. There are sooooo many

Major D.C. Sex Scandal, ISO Congressman
By Justin Rood - December 7, 2006, 11:50 AM

For the last couple months a great little story has been bubbling on a back burner, threatening to burst into a classic D.C. potboiler: the feds busted a long-time prostitution service operating in the Washington, D.C. area, with the suggestion of ties to lawmakers.

Indeed, it was the madam herself who told a reporter from the Smoking Gun Web site that the Feds must be going after her as part of a larger investigation into "some Duke Cunningham-type bigwig client that got caught up in something<.>"

Our ears perked up. Has our long-lost Duke-connected hooker arrived? Alas, no hard evidence emerged. The madam, Deborah Palfrey, said she never kept records of clients and commanded her employees to destroy records within hours of a rendezvous. And Palfrey hasn't offer up any names from memory.


But now, juicy tidbits from a new 19-page court filing make the story even more tantalizing, with excerpts from the madam's in-house newsletter and more. (We've got the whole filing for your enjoyment, right here.) <MORE>
