If the govt wants to know whether or not these gals offered sex, have them ask Bill Clinton...he knows the difference between sex and no sex!

Meh ... must be a slow news day if this is a top story.

Awesome idea, Jim. What we need more than anything else is everyone paying attention to tabloid-worthy news rather than real issues. You rock.

Prostitution should be legalized. It is a consensual activity between adults which harms nobody!

Since when i prostitution a federal racketeering crime??? Haven't the feds heard about Las Vegas?

This is a political crime and the thought police are making arrests

What's funny are the people here (republicans) who either say that only Republicans will get blamed or the ones who say to just ignore it, while getting a dig in at Barney Frank.

It's like they already assume it's going to be another Republican...ie. Foley, Haggart. Hey, maybe there is a God.

so did i.

Interesting that the government said they may "confiscate" the proceeds if the madam decided to sell her phone list. Guess you could call that a "rebate" huh?

David -- I fully agree prostitution should be legalized. But until the idiot politicians continue to arrest, prosecute, and ostricate those who frequent, lets see how many of them are hyopcrites in the mean time.

Tom -- that was hilarious.

:-) Thank you Eric....sometimes truth can be hilarious

I think this is great. Let's expose these corrupt politicians for what they really are....

Maybe we can get some new blood into the House, Senate and Exc branches and have a country ruled by THE PEOPLE once again. Personally, I think the govt is trying to gag her due to the harm it would cause them. I don’t blame her for trying to expose these people for what they really are; sleazy and corrupt.

I call this period the great unravelling.... into things unknown.

Bill

That threat to confiscate the
proceeds is as good
as a confession, but far more
damning.

D.C. again leaves Vegas in the dust:

Who could THIS judge be
protecting?

this should be a (another) lesson to people who hold information that is damaging to those in power: first, make multiple copies, second people with power WILL abuse it: when your operation comes under fire, distribute your info quickly before it is suppressed. You may have to give up the potential profits.

bring the federal grand jury to the capitol steps and line up all accused of patonizing ms. pelfrey's business. then, all in unison,they can wag their fingers and say "i did not have sex with that woman's women". all will surely be re-elected.

I'm going to do everything in my power to convince the prosecutors to drop all the charges against this woman. It's obvious to me that she's being railroaded. Ken Starr is behind this. I can feel it.

HAHAHAHEHEHEHE

Palfrey has claimed that her service's clients were "upscale" and "came from the more refined walks of life."

..............HAHAHAHEHEHEHE

What a wonderful way to purge our crooked congress. Out with the kleptocrats of both parties. Juicy sex is about the only way to clean house in this whacky nation. Let's get those stories and the dirtier the better.

The reason this is a story,is because who is possibly on the list. I doubt that her business is totally legit, however, it is definetly no worse than anything else going on in d.c. at this time. She or one of her associates, pissed someone off that used her business. As far as getting rid of politicians who are corrupt, is fine, however, they would only be replaced by newer corrupt ones. They only serve those who have the money to pay. Maybe 1 or 2 percent are honest and wanting to work for the people, otherwise forget it.
