May 1: DC Madam
by Mark Murrmann
Almost one year to the day after appearing in Federal Court on charges of money laundering and running a prostitution ring, 52 year old Debrah Jeane Palfrey was found dead at her mother's house near Tampa, Florida. A list of clients included Sen. David Vitner (R-LA) and former Deputy Secretary of State Randall Tobias, who resigned upon having his name associated with Palfrey. On April 15, a federal jury convicted Palfrey on money laundering charges, racketeering and using the US mail for illegal purposes.

Cause of death? Ratting on Republican scum!

... seriously!! Or, much more likely, the powerful scum she never got a chance to rat on!
Puleeeeeeeze, Mother Jones, get your best investigational reporters on this one--but provide them with bodyguards and good flak jackets!

It was a list of 300 that
could/should be boiled down
to 30 public types.
Larry Flynt said he wasn't
sure weather to release the
names slowly or all at once.
MSM treats this story like
the plague. But I say the
public shuold use it as
leverage in order to
re-instate the Constitution.

Can we please officially abandon the fiction that she died by her own hand? For her mother to find?
That is what motel housekeepers are for.(Hopefully, the deceased leave an extra large tip...)
