Reluctant to Publish

As the so-called "D.C. Madam" case unfolds in the nation's capital, with alleged prostitution ringleader Jeane Palfrey claiming a list of thousands of prominent clients, Washington-area editors say they are following the story, but remain reluctant to print such a list, were it available, without serious scrutiny.
Funny how "authorized journalists," whose primary function is to watchdog government, perceive no ethical quandary watchdogging citizens, and publishing the names of those with concealed gun permits.

Methinks Ms. Palfrey's girls aren't the only whores in town.

  1. You just have to get the list to the right paper. What was the name of that paper in Virginia? Surely, for the sake of the public they will publish the list.

  2. I doubt any paper will touch this list, as it no doubt consists of some high mucketymucks with the power to destroy the madam and those papers, or even make them disappear forever.

  3. Of course there's always the possibility that some of those "reluctant" editors may be on the list themselves...

  4. I've been trading e-mails with a fine American lady who knows something about this industry named Jessi Winchester. Here is her very good summation of the (dis)similarities between hookers and lawmakers.

    "In the bordellos I worked with
    professional businesswomen who rented
    their bodies. In politics I was surrounded
    by whores who sold their souls."
    ~ Jessi Winchester
