ABC refuses to name clients of 'DC madam'...
Drudge Report ^ | 6 May 07 | Andrew Buncombe - Matt Drudge

Posted on 05/06/2007 4:13:05 PM PDT by SkyPilot

There was an almost audible sigh of relief in parts of America's capital this weekend after a TV network said it would not reveal the identities of scores of clients of the alleged "DC madam" because they were not well enough known to be "newsworthy".

I doubt that, highly.

One of two things is happening here. One...they have high level SocialistLiberalMarxistDims on the list.....

OR they have some high level PUBBIE or three on the list...and ABC is holding their leftist Democrat powder until the election.

For ABC, but what about the madam? If she is prosecuted, can release the list with no accusation?

NASA officials? I wonder if Gore’s friend, Jim “Global Warming DemocRAT Hack” Hansen was among them?

I wonder what Democrats are being protected. Now I really would like to see those names!! When has the media ever turned down a good story. Bill Clinton’s name must use the service frequently. But then who can blame him with what he has at home.

Must have been too many Democrats on the list and not enough Republicans.....

Exactly what I was thinking.

Expect ABCDisney to release the names in October of 2008 as election day nears.

They're all Democrats. If the clients were Republicans, they would have been named by ABC in a New York minute.

So ABC threw in the towel and consoled themselves with destroying one man appointed by a Republican.

This little episode needs to appear in all public school textbooks that discuss the horrors of "McCarthyism".

Political witchhunts continue into this day. The DNC is in collusion with the Mass Media to smear the political opposition party. They even have termed it "the culture of corruption".

It is only considered the failings of ONE of the parties by a biased media that censors all reports of corruption and moral failings committed by Democrats.

I assume she has copies and could give them to some other person or organization. The fix is in. Don't expect the names to become public. Expect her to get a reduced sentence.

In other words, if it wasn't a life worth destroying, it wasn't worth the effort.........

Scary stuff.....

Al and Tipper Gore didn't mind destroying the lives of a number of people in the music industry (including those of retail clerks who sold "the wrong albums" to vice squads).

Their mid-1980s Senate records burning campaign is all but a bitter memory. MTV-Viacom and the Zappa kids have endorsed Al Gore. In the end, the Gores destroyed lives over a political issue that didn't matter much to them. But it did put Gore on the national stage. His father, Sen. Al Gore Sr., had seen fellow Tennessee Senator Estes Kefauver rise to the VP nomination after some Senate hearings on the influences of juvenile delinquincy (like comic books) back in the 1950s.

Or, in other words, too many employees of ABC and its affiliates were on the roster?

ABC is busy trying to find all the Republicans, and making sure that they don’t name any democrats.

No matter what the political persuasion of this woman’s clients, why on Earth would they use their real names? Surely these customers weren’t stupid enough to pay by check or credit card?
