One thing is for certain, ABC will milk this prostitution scandal for as much as its worth.

Watch the special tonight. ABC needs the cashflow.

ABC will make as much money as it can by getting paid off to keep some identities secret, and the end result, will be ABC giving out as little information as possible to the American public.

It's called, 'Journalism'.

Don't hold your breath for the big scandal. The TRUE scandal is how ABC is protecting the scandalous.

What do you call it when the scandals accuse the scandalous?

Victimless crimes? What about the "wives" of many of these soon-to-be exposed cheaters. high-powered officials and gov't muckety-mucks who pretend to be happily married. I'm sure the wives will be blindsided. I know. I was one. No, the wives become the unseen and unheard and very embarrassed and very hurt...victims.

It's rather quaint the way the head of ABC News has declared that the names on the D.C. Madam's phone list that indicate any politicians or people of power should be withheld because of the irrelevence they may have to the interest of the public.
This will do little to dispell the growing conclusion that the media is just a mouth piece for the government regardless of how much the term "free press" is bandied about.
And too, once again we get to witness "justice for all"!
Of course there's two sorts of justice these days be it for criminal sentencing, investigations or even which sort of picture we get to pose for in a mug shot.
More and more there seems to be one type of justice for the wealthy and powerful and one whole other type for the common man/woman in America.
Can't say Mr. Ross didn't give it a heck of a try. He scooped the other news sources.
Too bad he didn't get the needed support from his management.
Obviously, they'd already ppicked which side they wanted to be on.

I hope that 20/20's report on the DC Madam, Jeanne Palfrey will include some of the information reporte by the San Fransico Cronicle and San Diego Tribune a little over a month ago. Those articles gave much insight into the personality of Palfrey and make one question her reliability with regard to tendancies to embellish the facts far beyond the edges of the envelope.
Apparently, she is a paranoid ex-confict with a history of stalking given to illustions of granduer. I hope not too many people will become victims of this "looney-tunes" character

I think it's hysterical when these swaggering, pompous hypocrits get exposed. Expose them all! They did something illegal. If they will commit one crime they will commit another. Obviously, being dishonest doesn't bother their conscience. I don't think we should mind our business at all. Expose the lawyers too if they are on the list. How can they be trusted to be ethical? If you see one roach, there are 1,000 more hiding in the cracks.

This is truly symptomatic of the Bush administration and their hypocrisy. So, someone whose approach to the spread of AIDS was abstinence and faithfulness was unfaithful and frequently used prostitutes?

Furthermore, why are we pulling the madam into court? Without clients, she wouldn't have been in business. The gender bias is rampant.

It's a good thing that not one of the readers would even THINK of getting a massage like that. All the high-horse riders come out on days like these.

I find it interesting that people who disagree with the abstinence message always come out of the woodwork to dance at the human tragedy when one hypocrit can be found... maybe such effort would be better spent in intellectually supporting your ideas.

The behavior of "total abstinence" czar Randall Tobias reminds me of a quote from "Bob", avatar of the Church of the Sub-Genius: "I don't practice what I preach, because I am not the kind of person I preach to." It is a pity his withdrew from giving the commencement speech. I think it would have been one of the highlights of the students education in governmental ethics.

If any of the fine "sheep" actually believe that there were no "big names" on that list, then I have
a big bridge in my backyard for sale, cheap! I'll bet there were plenty of "big names" on that
list, including members of staff, congress ceo's and media types. If they got rid of everyone on
the list, we wouldn't have any government (if that is what you call it) at all and tv and big
corporations would have to shut their doors. This is the way it always is. . . they fire a few
poor secretaries trying to eek out a living and ruin their lives and cause them to commit suicide
and the "big dogs" all slink away scott free with their zippers in tact. This the AMERICAN way
don't you all know this? As well, ABC or any other media group cannot release these names until the TRIAL.
To do anything other than this would be considered slander in a court of law. The best thing to do is BOYCOT
ABC and then they will find out what they should have done.

The bush administration is the most corrupt that has ever been in the history of the US. They rely
on their moral right "sheep" to do their bidding and then they can get away with their dirty work
without anyone seeing them for what they really are. It is funny to me that now the Repubs are being seen for
the true "family values" everyone wants to legalize prostitution. It should never have been illegal
and if the US Government could figure out a way to TAX prostitution, it would definitely be legal.

There is something I have noticed in my long life. When you find any person who is constantly
going on and on and on about any subject, and they make comment after comment when no one has
really asked them you can "bet your boots" that they are doing that very thing they are commenting about.
This includes people in religion, government and even regular people. (ie "Methinks thou protesteth too much.")

All I have to say is "YOU VOTED FOR 'EM". . . . glad I didn't

Hypocrisy does not disprove the validity of the principles the hypocrite espouses.
