The D.C. Madam's Phone Records
News from the DCist, on the escort service scandal that's rocking Washington.
"In Deborah Jeane Palfrey's continuing campaign to get the media to stop focusing on the titillating details of her escort business and instead investigate the myriad injustices being brought upon her by the government, she's decided to release a page from her 46 lbs. of phone records.
In an announcement yesterday, Palfrey said she's decided to sell records from her 13-year-long run providing "legal" sexual services to the men of Washington D.C. in order to raise money for her legal defense.
Last month she turned over a list of over 10,000 clients to ABC News, which will air a report about the case on Friday. As a sample of what classy buyers of Palfrey's list can expect, she's posted a page of phone records from 1996 on her web site." (pdf document from Slate)
