WASHINGTON — A woman accused of running a prostitution ring in the nation's capital is free to distribute thousands of pages of phone records after a federal judge lifted a restraining order on Thursday.

U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler's order granted the request of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, 51, of Vallejo, Calif., to quash restrictions by government prosecutors that prohibited her from giving away the list.

"As a result, Jeane has determined to release those records under certain conditions to qualified individuals or organizations," wrote her attorney, Montgomery Blair Sibley, in an e-mail.

Palfrey and her attorney have said the list contains up to 15,000 names and could shake up Washington by revealing high-profile individuals.

I wonder which of these esteemed public servants was dumb enough to call from a phone traceable directly back to them.

Bob Beckel, (did I spell it right?) comes to mind.

No why oh why would the gubmint lawyers want to quash the release? Why are they afraid? What do they know about that list that they don't want made public?

After all, Gary Condit isn't in Congress now. /s

***... and a nervous shudder was felt through Washington as wives ears perked up.***


Time to insert an email joke.

Subject: FW: Alabama Preacher

Alabama Preacher

The Alabama preacher said to his congregation, “Someone in this congregation has spread a rumor that I belong to the Ku Klux Klan. This is a horrible lie and one which a Christian community cannot tolerate. I am embarrassed and do not intend to accept this. Now, I want the party who did this to Stand and ask forgiveness from God and this Christian Family.”

No one moved. The preacher continued, “Do you have the nerve to face me and admit this is a falsehood? Remember, you will be forgiven and in your heart you will feel glory. Now stand and confess your transgression.”

Again all was quiet. Then slowly, a drop-dead gorgeous blond with a body that would stop traffic rose from the third pew. Her head was bowed and her voice quivered as she spoke, “Reverend there has been a terrible misunderstanding. I never said you were a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I simply told a couple of my friends that you were a wizard under the sheets.”

The preacher fell to his knees, his wife fainted, and the Congregation roared!

“I wonder how many names of our esteemed Senators and Congressmen will be on the list”

The Democrats don’t have to worry. Their names will never be on the front page.

Your name could be on the lady hooker’s list of customers but that doers’t mean you bought sex.

All of a sudden we are to believe a hooker’s word? Now, now, don’t be naive. Prostitution rings are probably more numerous in D.C. than lobbyists. (In a way hookers are lobbyists). You can bet any lobbyist worth his salt has a list of people who will provide boys, girls, billy goats or football boots to whoever has influence for sale.

Now, if the lady hooker chief has Vito's to go with the list, it will be a different matter. ROTFALMAO.

Are you kidding? I’m sure Fat Teddy was thinking about us, his constituents, as he was rogering that waitress with his good pal Chris Dodd. That’s probably how he “held out,” if you catch my drift.

If you are rich and successful in DC and have to pay for sex, you are sad.

Even the most disgustingly fat rich guys get some in DC without paying for it.

I bet even Michael Moore could get sex in D.C.!
