DC Madame's phone records: Is Cheney on the list?-- Palfrey implicates Cheney

[npincus]

Rumors abound... that Cheney was a client of Ms. Palfrey's. Her full, unedited set of phone records for the 13-year span of her business became available to the public yesterday evening.

LISTEN to Prissy Patriot's podcast interviw w/ Ms. Palfrey- she basically outs Cheney in the final minutes of the interview, calling the aftermath of the release of her records "Watergate 3" for the bounty of powerful, famous, political figures on her list. She says "this goes straight to the heart of the B*sh Administration", and indicts ABC for killiing the story, and "needs to get the word out", this "goes to the White House". This is BIG, Sen. Vitter is only the beginning:

Dearest Readers, what an interesting interview with Ms Deborah Jeane Palfrey. Forgive the non-edited version, we need Ray-the-tech-guy to help. Prissy is all thumbs with audio editing and Betty is too.

<snip>

Ms. Palfrey also explains why she thinks ABC dropped the ball and canceled the story. There are the phone numbers of approximately 10,000 clients on "the list".

Some are very powerful men, obviously. Lot's of them. Like maybe 100 of the top level military and senior government officials in this country-many currently holding top level security clearances.

The problem is not so much buying sexual fantasy talk, the problem is men who indulge in this sort of paid play are very susceptible to blackmail. Especially the ones spouting to the world about their own "family values."

<snip>

Wayne Madsen was right-listen to Ms. Palfrey and hear for yourself that Vice President DICK CHENEY is likely on the list...how recently, you ask?

Well, Prissy cannot give you times and dates-not yet anyway, but know this. The only phone records analyzed so far are from 2002-2006-Wayne Madsen claim Dicks visits happened in the 1990's. If you want to hear some other potential list makers, listen to the last five minutes of the show on the podcast below.

Following the judge's lifting of a gag order, "DC Madam" Deborah Jeane Palfrey promised to release her phone records to selected sources. However, those records have now been posted in full to her website.

Because the website has suffered from a series of periodic outages since the records were posted Monday evening, the following message from Palfrey is being reproduced here:

"I have reason to believe the disk – containing a full set of the telephone records for the 13 year operational history of 'Pamela Martin & Associates' – already has been pirated. Despite our very best intentions to maintain control of the information, our efforts seemingly have been for naught. I am concerned about manipulation of the database with false and misleading information. Even though such falsifications can be refuted in time by comparing an altered copy with the original, my attorney, Mr. Sibley and I fear that in the intervening time period, considerable damage can and will be done to the reputations of individual and entities with no connection to the business. Additionally, the overall validity of the records’ contents will be diminished when one false accusation after another begins to manifest. Therefore, to thwart any possible distorted version and to ensure the integrity of the information, the records – in their entirety – are available for downloading."

1. ABC is just shameful in this. They have Assumed the Position for republicon cronies

ABC = republicon crony propaganda and coverup.

Disgusting.

[Ian David]

5. Check first for numbers begining with (818) 460-....

Start by searching the Madam's list for phone numbers begining with (818) 460- . . . .

[npincus]

LOL... I want to know tel no. at DICK'S undisclosed location

back in the 1990's.

[Alexander]

39. LOL! Looks like ABC supplied Palfrey with clients! Explains a LOT.

Like why they made a point of mentioning on 20/20 that "no members of Congress were on the list".

Like Senator David Vitter. :eyes:

[aquart]

2. That picture is just scary.

If Cheney was there, it was years ago. I don't think he could get it up now without actual machinery.

[Lars39]

4. Doesn't rule out Lynn Cheney, or Laura Bush, for that matter.

:evilgrin:

[mitchum]

16. In light of Cheney's bloodlust, viewing of snuff films probably gets him all in the mood

[Eurobabe]

3. That's our DICK!

You just knew this sicko was on there. No wonder he has heart disease, maybe he's got the clap too?

[Ian David]

6. It explains why Cheney doesn't release his visitor logs.

And we've never found out who Jeff Gannon was actually blowing during his nineteen White House Sleep-Overs.

[Mandate My Ass]

9. Enquiring minds want to know...

Because it'd be irresponsible to engage in speculation.

*cough* Karl *ahem*

[bdamomma]

32. Karl, yea, he has many dark secrets.

[Wiley50]

12. According to gannon's website, he is a "top" only

so it's who's been blowing him
and who he was pluggin'

[SpiralHawk]

13. Top only? Hell, republicon Gannon claimed he was a US Marine, too.

But that was just another republicon chickenhawk lie. Gannon and the republicons slimed our honorable US Marines with that, just as Commander AWOL slimed the National Guard with his desertion to snort cocaine.

The most 'honorable' republicon leader is Cheney, who has a world record five (5) military deferments. That's the best the republicons can do.

[Ian David]

41. Gannon wasn't really a Marine? I don't think I knew that. n/t

[npincus]

14. ewwwww

:puke:

[SpiralHawk]

15. The truth is ugly. But the truth...

...will set America free of its republicon perverts, war profiteers, liars, and hypocrites.

[robinlynne]

17. sleepovers? pray tell me more. I never heard there were sleepovers.

24. Nights in White House Satin: The Comings and Goings of Jeff Gannon

Nights in White House Satin
The Comings and Goings of Jeff Gannon

By GARY LEUPP

Why aren't we hearing more about the "Jeff Gannon" (James Guckert) affair? Back in February, always the optimist I wrote, "Perhaps we are on the edge of a major scandal here," and inquiring minds have indeed dug up more dirt.

Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) and Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) got on the case, using the Freedom of Information Act to precisely chronicle, on the basis of Secret Service records, the bogus reporter and real-life prostitute's White House entries and exits. From the Secret Service material, Raw Story researcher
Muriel Kane produced this listing; I've put the more interesting material in bold font:

<snip>

Uri Dowbenko has also been investigating this record.

Okay, maybe there's no scandal here. Lots of people, mostly tourists, visit the White House. But it does seem odd that Gannon was there at least 32 times on days when there were no briefings, or returned later in the day to the presidential mansion after a briefing. Seems he'd spend about an hour or hour and a half in the White House on these occasions. Or he'd be there for an hour or hour and a half before or after the briefings. I suppose that it could be shown he was there to consult with someone about what sort of questions he might raise in the next briefing, that could produce a small scandal. But the media hasn't really taken on the president's manipulation of reporters to date and protested and exposed it effectively.

The records also show days when Gannon checked in but never properly checked out, beginning in July 2003 or five months after he started his White House journalistic activities. This doesn't necessarily cry out "Scandal!" since lots of people have slept over at the Bush White House. But usually they're big fundraisers or family members. For someone like Gannon to be there, apparently sleeping over, on twelve different nights seems curious. Surely he had his own lodgings nearby. But after all, in his "reporter" capacity he was a friend of the administration and like Jacko says, friends often let friends sleep over. Dowbenko indicates that the president was in his house on all these occasions, but I imagine Laura and the Secret Service people were there too. Of course it is a big house, room for everybody and a degree of privacy even in these terror-haunted, well-monitored times.

<snip>

Why was this gentleman in the White House at all hours, so many times, during days there were no briefings or news conferences?

25. Thank you, Ian, for doing the basic work the corporate media will not do for America

A wig-wag of the wings from Ye Olde Spirale Hawke

[Ian David]

26. They should have been shouting, "Wag the dog! No war for Gannon!" n/t

[Marr]

7. ABC went from "this is huge" to "there's no one of note on the list" in hours.

Pathetic. When I saw how vehemently that tool "journalist" was insisting the list wasn't worth looking at- just hours after he'd been salivating about his brief glimpse at it- I knew it must have some very big names indeed.

[MADem]

10. If any "good names" come out of this, Brian Ross might as well go work for FauxSnooze.

It will decimate his credibility.

[MADem]

8. "Straight to the heart of the Bush Administration" could mean any one of a number of people

Not necessarily the guy with the BAD HEART.

Quite frankly, if I had to speculate, I'd not pick that guy first. Even when he was SECDEF he was pretty lethargic, lazy almost, and he liked a good meal. Cheney's appetites, I suspect, go more to steaks, ribs, and game birds, easy on the vegetables, an appropriate "dinner beverage," and a nice, rich dessert.

"The heart of the administration" can also be construed to be any one of a number of BushCo insiders--from the WH staff to the cabinet. Without actual names, we've no way of knowing. It could be Andy Card, the hardworking former Chief of Staff who never went home, or John Bolton, when he was over at State, before he went to the UN--hell, he used to patronize Plato's Retreat back in the day. It could really be anyone....

[npincus]

11. have a listen...

Palfrey utters the name "Cheney" along with others (including Dick Morris)... she very strongly "suggests" his name is there without saying so directly. Must be some Madam's oath of Omerta as far as revealing (verbally) the names of her clients.

[JoDog]

19. If Cheney did

do business with Pamela Martin, I doubt that he used any phone number that could be easily traced back to him. Cheney may be dispicable, but he is not stupid. And if the recent WP series about him is an accurate portrait, he's also a little paranoid. I imagine him maybe calling from a hotel room, a public phone, or perhaps having an aide make the call. That would inject plausible denal into the equation--"I had no idea this stuff was going on in my office." etc.

I'm not saying that the big fish aren't on the list. I'm just saying that these guys became big fish because they know how to cover their tracks.

[catmandu57]

20. Maybe he liked to watch

live action.

[MADem]

37. A Chauncy Gardener type, perhaps?

[catmandu57]

44. Yes but, Chauncy was pure

The only thing this dick is pure in is evil, pure evil.

[MADem]

49. Certainly--darkness needs light to be darkness, now, doesn't it?

Pure needs Pure Evil, too, I reckon!!!

[Ian David]

28. I'd bet money that the guy who shoplifted from Target is on that list.

It sounds like he had issues with "impulse control" and was addicted to risk taking.

Remember THIS one?

Friday Night Surprise: White House Aide Caught In Shoplifting Scheme

When Claude Allen, the former Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, resigned suddenly a few weeks ago, the White House gave its official explanation for the departure:

President Bush’s domestic policy advisor, Claude A. Allen, has resigned to spend more time with his family, the White House said.

Many were skeptical of the White House’s explanation. It turns out the suspicions were justified: Allen was arrested yesterday and charged in a “retail theft scheme.” From the police report:

The Target Loss Prevention Manger contacted Montgomery County Police and through the police investigation it was learned that Allen had been receiving refunds in an amount exceeding $5,000 during last year. Some of the fraudulent returns were made at Target stores and some at Hecht’s stores. He would buy items, take them out to his car, and return to the store with the receipt. He would select the same items he had just purchased, and then return them for a refund. Allen is known to have conducted approximately 25 of these types of refunds, having the money credited to his credit cards.

Throughout 2005 he obtained refunds for items ranging from clothing, a Bose theater system, stereo equipment, and photo printer to items valued only at $2.50.

If we can’t trust the White House to tell us the truth about a simple personnel matter, how can we trust anything they tell us about more substantive issues.

[MADem]

36. What totally cracks me up is that there's this B Roll (file footage) that MSNBC has of Bush

that features that asswipe, Bush and Rove stumbling along in front of the White House...they show it all the time, and I never fail to point out old Claude the Clod and mention his receipt-scamming scheme!

[yardwork]

55. Claude Allen would not have been hiring female prostitutes.

Does the madam run male escorts? It's been an open secret for decades that Claude Allen is gay.

[The Witch]

18. Can anyone paraphrase for those of us who don't have time to listen?

How does it implicate Cheney?

[npincus]

22. don't have a transcription, here are snippets:

"if names come out, the Administration will collapse"... "once it's released the truth will be gotten to"... "once released to a multitude of responsible journalists, in those records 20, 30, 100, or possibly more Randall Tobias's, Dick Morris's, Harlan Neumann, and yes, the name Dick Cheney has been touted on more than one occasion in those recods and it will be Watergate times that many people"...

If you have about 5 minutes, just fast forward to the end (last few minutes).

[L. Coyote]

21. SO! Where does Cheney get implicated? Or is what she predicted happening at DU?

"the overall validity of the records’ contents will be diminished when one false accusation after another begins to manifest."

Is that an apt description of the OP?

[npincus]

23. listen to the interview

particularly the last 5 minutes or so, then make your own judgement.

[JoDog]

34. Listened to it

and she never says anything to the effect of "Dick Cheney is on the list. I can confirm that." What she says is there are several "Dick Morrises" on the list, and Dick Cheney has been "touted" as being on the list. All she is saying is that she knows there are other "Dick Morris level" government people on the list, and that other people have said that Dick Cheney is on the list. It sounded to me that Palfrey herself is unsure of who exactly is included on the list. To me, her comment about Cheney was in reference to speculation from those famous "unnamed sources" that a VP phone number is included in the records.

[MADem]

40. Maybe the one using the VP phone was Scooter "Bear Poker" Libby

Hey, ya never know...that could be why his wife always looks so pissed off!!!!

[robinlynne]

27. no. CD madam says so in the interview.

edited to add:
She added one word like purportedly or allegedly.

[tandot]

29. If Cheney would have been on the list, Ms. Palfrey would have been already disposed off

[John Q. Citizen]

30. Wow! Everyone know that blowjob = impeachment.

[bdamomma]

31. oh god I hope so, Cheney using a escort service

ugh, what a thought.

[Perky]

33. I would not hlod my breath on Cheney being on the list.

first of all, the NSA monitorsall his calls from any devise.

Secondly, the Secret Service would have been rought in tow....And while they are obviusly discreet, It is sort of hard to imagine this not being out there by now if it occured..Never say never...but I would not hold my breath.

[Mabus]

35. He could've called before he was VP

Look for Halliburton and Wyoming numbers.

In the meantime, I did spot a Senate phone number 202-224-9655 (bill date 1/22/99)

As I understand it the 224 prefix is for the Senate.

The Senate numbers are listed here: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm Notice that they all start with the 224- prefix. If you check out the House numbers they all begin with 225-

The date of this call is 12/26/1998 and the call was made at 5:07 p.m. It can be found in the number 10 records on the list located at: http://deborahjeanepalfrey.com/Jeane10c.html

[MADem]

42. Could be an unlisted number, or a fax. Not on that list, anyway.

The principals do have private phone numbers that aren't listed. In some/most cases their Chiefs of Staff have access to them as well, so they can listen in on conversations on the extension, to take notes and to protect the principal. A COS could also use that number if he or she so desired.

[Mabus]

43. That's what I was thinking

I know there are the numbers that are given to the public then there are the private numbers. Either way, it is there and I hope it can be traced to a particular office.

[AZBlue]

38. Oh dear God...I just threw up a little.

There's not enough money in the world...

[notadmblnd]

45. I used the way back machine

for the Senate home page, all pages have been deleted except for year 2004. Leaves me wondering who on that list they want us to see.

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/

[npincus]

46. very interesting....

[MADem]

50. Awwww, SHIT!!!!!

I used to have all those old numbers way back when. Damn. Surely there's got to be some other slob besides me, who hasn't thrown away those old directories....!!!!!!

[MonkeyFunk]

47. aww... I was excited

until I saw this came through Wayne Madsen. that pretty much enures it's not true.

[MelissaB]

48. ditto

[npincus]

53. it didn't come through Madsen... Prissy Patriot said she (Palfrey)

confirms what Madsen had published.

51. DEVELOPING STORY FROM KOS: DICK "JOHN" CHENEY ON HER LIST TOO?

by KStreetProjector
Tue Jul 10, 2007 at 07:31:14 AM PDT

Just came in from Coffee at the Caribou Coffee at 16th and L in DC.

Ran into one of my old cronies.

DC Madamm talk is all the conversation in DC.

Brace Yourself.

I was just told Dick Cheney, while CEO of Halliburton, used her services regularly, they are trying to spin up a message to explain that members of his staff, in his offices, used this service to entertain foreign clients.

Apparently several of his ex-staff at Halliburton are already being besieged by calls.

Make of it what you will. I think I would be happier knowing the Dick can dance like a John.

* KStreetProjector's diary :: ::
*

I would also like to make this note, as an Executive who has been trained in how to stay within the law of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

I was specifically instructed by our corporate lawyers never to pay for such services of clients, it is always found to be a violation of the FCPA.

Does this mean, the WH spin, which we will see coming out in the Next 24 hours will be:

* Dick Cheney did not use an Escort Service...instead he committed violations of the FCPA and ordered others to do so?

Interesting Times.

Can we Impeach yet?

call it the :"trickle up effect"; let's see when the MSM is forced against their will to cover this.

54. Thanks for posting that interview with Palfrey -- she clearly implicates Cheney. n/t
