In the first hour, Ian chats with Deborah J. Palfrey, the 'D.C. Madam' who had all of her assets seized by the IRS.

Ian Punnet will interview the DC Madam - starting right now. This could be interesting. She's on to complain about government prosecutorial abuse.

[REDWOOD99]

She picked a good place to complain about a gov’t cospiracy!!

[GovernmentIsTheProblem]

I have more sympathy for her than Tammy Faye... At least her customers got what they paid for. ;)

Paulfrey on being called “DC Madam”: “I have been called far worse.”

Ian asked her about having her assets seized by the IRS. Madam says the government froze all her money and left her penniless. “They kept pushing and pushing for me to plea out.”

This interview may be leading to an effort by some in the government to get hold of dirt on people in DC (such as elected politicians).

Why exactly does the government care what she and her clients were doing?

From what she said, the government got a search warrant after she closed her “business” and then wired $70k to Germany where she was buying a condo and was planning to “retire”.

I don’t know if the g-men were all that off base. Someone running an escort service in DC (whose clientel included at least one U.S. Senator) all of the sudden deciding to move out of the country... There could be far more to the story than she’s letting on.

An interesting angle I haven't considered..

Yet they don’t publicly out terrorist supporters in this country.

[Shortstop7]

Do you have to be an a** on every thread?

I’m no fan of Tammy Faye, but your stupid comments are getting annoying. The woman just passed away. At least show some class, even if you didn’t care for her.

“I’m no fan of Tammy Faye, but your stupid comments are getting annoying. The woman just passed away. At least show some class, even if you didn’t care for her.”

Are you stalking me across threads?

Guess what bubba. In life, sometimes you will run into opinions that you don’t like.

The solution isn’t to seek out more words from the people you don’t like, and then call them names because you availed yourself of them.

Pretty pathetic - asking someone to show class while calling them an ass. How about taking a little of your own advice to heart - stalking and name calling are not too classy.

Palfrey: “The girls were instructed not to engage in any illegal sexual behavior... I told these girls not to behave in any criminal fasion, they signed a contract.”

[Shortstop7]

Don't flatter yourself. As if your comments were worth the time. I just read through the thread about Tammy's death, and this thread was at the top. You, had to make a stupid comment about Tammy Faye, on a totally unrelated story. I calls them as I see them. Total lack of class.

[GravityFree]

If she paid the taxes due on the income she made I have no problem with her “occupation”. I think the thought of her leaving the country along with her “little black book” scared the bejesus out a lot of high profile clients.

RELATED STORY

D.C. Madam: Navy officer was an escort

WASHINGTON, July 22 (UPI) -- The woman who has become notorious as the "D.C. Madam" says a female Navy officer stationed in Annapolis worked for her escort service.

Deborah Jeane Palfrey told The Baltimore Sun the officer charged $275 an hour for "erotic fantasy services."

Palfrey denies promoting prostitution, saying she simply provided escorts and did not know if her clients obtained sexual services. She made her telephone records public after a federal investigation was opened into her business.

The Sun said a number Palfrey identified as the naval officer's appears hundreds of times in her phone records.

"Her name is splattered throughout the records," Palfrey said. "We would not talk to each other if the girl wasn't working."

Palfrey said she would never tell clients that an escort was a military officer.

The scandal has already snared two powerful clients -- Sen. David Vitter, R-La., and Randall Tobias, who resigned as deputy secretary of state.

I’m sorry. Did I miss something in the link? Was there something about Tammy Faye that I didn’t see?

I didn’t know her. But, on PTL, in 1975, her voice singing songs of praise were a major help to me, as I was losing a child. Please do not ridicule that or sell short what she was able to do for so many others. Thank you.

You’re right, in signing off your message as “Total lack of class.”

Q: More Congressmen on the list?
Palfrey: There may be
Q: Judges?
Palfrey: None that I know of.

Palfrey mentions other "candidates" - Dick Morris, Harlan Ullman (sp?).

Palfrey now speculating that blackmail resulted from her business. She says her attorneys talked with "intel" types who suggested that some DC people were compromised as a result of her service.

She claims that this is the reason she released the phone numbers, so that anyone on the list would be already revealed to prevent further blackmail.

Palfrey also says that Dick Morris "did use my service". No big surprise there.

[Ken H]

Palfrey says she's going to fight. Facing 55 years in prison. Says she has superb lawyers.

Oh, I thought it was just the Tammy thread...

But now I see you are over here disciplining this thread as well.

I'll be careful over here.
