More WhoreGate News: D.C. Madam Feels for Clients' Families
D.C. Madam Feels for Clients' Families
July 18, 2007 - 1:15pm

WASHINGTON - Alleged D.C. madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey tells WTOP she does feel some kinship with Sen. David Vitter's wife Wendy after his name showed up on Palfrey's escort service records.

"I doubt there isn't a woman anywhere in this country -- and this definitely includes me -- who has not experienced an encounter with a cheating/lying husband/boyfriend/lover," Palfrey writes in an e-mail. .....

"Regarding the ruination of others lives," Palfrey writes. "I believe it is unfair to place such an onus of responsibility on me."

Palfrey wonders how she could possibly be responsible for knowing the marital status of her clients. She likens her role running an escort service to another profession: "Does a bartender ask each and every patron if he/she is a recovering alcoholic?"....

While it's impossible to determine how many of her customers were in committed relationships, Palfrey writes, "As a woman I find it rather despicable for any person (man or woman) to cheat on a spouse/significant other."

Vitter on DC Madam 'borderline disastrous:' MSNBC
David Edwards and Josh Catone - July 16, 2007
http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Vitter_on_DC_Madam_borderline_disastrous_0716.html


David Vitter (R-LA) today broke his week long silence and spoke publicly about being linked with the so-called 'DC Madam.'

... Chris Matthews characterized Vitter as "contemptuous" and "angry." ... Norman Robinson, the anchor for NBC affiliate WDSU in New Orleans, talked about how Vitter's remarks raised more questions about his conduct including who paid for the sexual services and whether he broke the law.

============
I find it noteworthy that Vitter did not actually deny anything. He said "falsehoods...are not true." DUH!

Transcript - Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) Holds a Press Conference in Metairie, La.
(Speakers: Sen. Vitter and Wendy Vitter)
Courtesy CQ Transcripts Wire - July 16, 2007 - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/16/AR2007071601348.html?hpid=moreheadlines

SEN. VITTER: Good afternoon.

Last week, Wendy and I thought it was very important to have some time alone with our children...

Wendy and I dealt with this personally several years ago. I confronted it in confession and marriage counseling. I believe I received forgiveness from God. I know I did from Wendy, and we put it behind us. ....

Unfortunately, my admission has encouraged some long-time political enemies and those hoping to profit from the situation to spread falsehoods too, like those New Orleans stories in recent reporting. Those stories are not true. ... Now, having said all of this, I'm not going to answer endless questions about it all over again and again and again and again.

1. I don't get it
If she is so concerned about wife's who have been fucked (so to speak) by cheating husbands, why does she make it convenient for husbands to cheat?

5. Yes, the husbands are clearly the victims here.
Unable to control themselves, when faced with the "convenience" of a woman who is willing to let him screw her.

7. I don't think that's a good analogy... she didn't 'make it easy for husbands to cheat'
she made it easy for lonely single guys to get laid. That would be like saying Ford or Chevy makes it convenient for car bombers to work....

The guy KNEW HE WAS MARRIED... it's all on his back, you can't blame anyone else

9. I'm not blaming her
Edited on Wed Jul-18-07 02:15 PM by BOSSHOG
but she's babbling on about how she feels sorry for wives whose husbands cheat on. It would be like the Ford Dealer feeling sorry for the spouse because her husband bought a Ford.

12. She makes it convenient for men to have sex.
Are they supposed to fill out forms with check boxes for Married? Single?

Men take vows of fidelity in the marriage ceremony, don't they? If their vows are worthless, why are you blaming HER?

The madam is not cheating on the wives. The husbands are.

Men who cannot take responsibility for their own actions should not be allowed to vote or own property.

14. I'm not blaming her for anything
I have to chuckle at her feeling sorry for spouses who been cheated on by spouses in her establishment. I know the husbands are the bad guys here but I find it ironic that the Madam would even care about the spouses. And I whole heartily agree with your last sentence.

3. It still boils down to the guy taking responsibility for his own actions...
which they don't seem to be able to do. Don't blame the woman/wife for coming unglued when she finds out. The man surely knew his wife/woman well enough to guess what her reaction would be if she found out, so why do it? Same goes for women who cheat on their husbands.

You play, you pay! Sorry! No space on this one.

10. "a cheating/lying husband/boyfriend/lover," Give me a f...ing break these are her customers!
Edited on Wed Jul-18-07 02:24 PM by Sapere aude
She feels for the wives? WTF, I guess only single not attached men should be her only clientele. She needs to check marriage records before she accepts a john! Maybe you should need a note from your SO?

Maybe we need to put it on the national identity card that it is ok or not for you to fuck a whore.

The men are so bad but the women who fuck for money are angles I guess. I guess it isn't a victim-less crime if you think the SO is a victim.

15. Transcript of LARRY KING LIVE ... Interview With Larry Flynt, Jeane Palfrey
Aired July 17, 2007 - 21:00 ET
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0707/17/lkl.01.html

Up next, the so-called D.C. Madam and Larry Flynt, the publisher who was apparently responsible for uncovering a Louisiana senator's sex scandal.

.....

KING: Hypocrisy running rampant on Capitol Hill. Senator Vitter was an outspoken of all things wrong, including prostitution ..... Joining us now in San Francisco is Jeane Palfrey, the alleged madam of Washington, D.C. In Miami is her attorney, Montgomery Sibley; and her in Los Angeles, Larry Flynt, the publisher of "Hustler" magazine, who -- you broke this whole thing, right?

LARRY FLYNT, PUBLISHER, "HUSTLER" MAGAZINE: Yes. A lot of people are confused on that. The madam deserves the credit. My chief investigator was working on the ad he took out in the "Post." And he had already had a relationship with her and...

KING: That ad is where you say you'll looking for who will give rewards?

FLYNT: Yes. And he got a phone number from her and he just dialed it up at random.

KING: And up came Vitter. .......

16. HELLO WORLD: "...there are more escort services than there are McDonald's in D.C."
KING: Montgomery, are you shocked?

SIBLEY: Well, I'm shocked about two things, if I might, Larry. Please understand that this is one escort service out of approximately 60 in the Metro D.C. area. And indeed there are more escort services than there are McDonald's in D.C.

Now what's happened here is one service by the coincidence of Jeane being in California had all the calls recorded in the telephone records, and therefore were able to track the customers back through the record numbers. As the other escort services may or may not coming forward, we're going to get a real full picture of what have goes on in the District of Columbia environments.

KING: Do you know the names that Larry Flynt appears to know, Montgomery?

SIBLEY: Larry, I'm the custodian of the telephone records. And I've given probably three-quarters of them to Larry's agents. There's another set of records that are still being scanned and are going to be released in the next couple of days as well. I don't know the names and that's one of the reasons we released the list. Jeane needs the names for her defense because we have to bring these people in to testify as to the legal sexual behavior that was contracted and provided for.

KING: Are you going to give her the names, Larry?

FLYNT: We'll cooperate with Jeane in any way we possibly can.

19. ‘Brandeis Boys’ come to D.C. Madam’s rescue with website of phone listings
‘Brandeis Boys’ come to D.C. Madam’s rescue with website of phone listings
By Kevin Bogardus
July 19, 2007
http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/brandeis-boys-come-to-d.c.-madams-rescue-with-website-of-phone-listings-2007-07-19.html


As the phone records of the “D.C. Madam,” Deborah Jeane Palfrey, became public last week, curious Washingtonians started searching a mysterious database at dcphonelist.com that had organized mountains of her documents.

In their first on-the-record phone interview, the men behind the website spoke to the Hill about who they are, how they created the database and why they put it online.

Kevin, Igor and Yoni described their experiences in a conference call. The crew’s fourth member, Danny, was not present. ...........
