Who’s In That Little Black Book?

Oh it’s going to be an exciting Friday night in our nation’s capital. People will be sitting clustered around the politico hangouts drinking Grey Goose and waiting with baited breath for ABC’s 20/20 to start.

Why, you ask?  Well, the DC Madam as she is infamously now known handed over her little black book of telephone numbers of her clients, movers and shakers in the political world of Washington DC politics. 

Already that little black book has brought down one deputy secretary of state and the DC Madam’s witness list includes “a Bush administration economist, the head of a conservative think tank, a prominent CEO, several lobbyists, and a handful of military officials.” (WaPo 5/1/07)

To be sure this will be a nonpartisan blowup with the revealing of names with torture-like slowness since she apparently has thousands of phone numbers from her “escort” business.

While I am sure that many of the owners of those telephone numbers are hoping that she just pleads guilty to the charges and goes quietly, it doesn’t look as if that will occur since she gave the numbers to ABC News.

Indeed 20/20 will be the hottest ticket in Washington DC on Friday night.

My guess: Billy Clinton is in there somewhere.

And all the first exposures will be conservatives/Republicans.  The libs in her little black book, because I’m sure there are just as many of them, will get second billing.

Because that’s how it works in the liberal media.

I guess we’ll have to wait and watch on that one, Rob.  But we don’t have to talk about Newt or Rudy do we, since you brought up Clinton.

(oh, by the way, you might want to correct a couple of spelling errors in the headlines; Moorhead not Moorehead; Increasing not Increasnig. No snark intended)

What’s going to happen: those who celebrate sexual freedom will be exclaiming these names far and wide. They’ll be hypocrites.

Granted, many of the social conservatives and Democrats (they do exist) will be shown to be hypocrites and this information is good to get out.

But everybody else who isn’t a social conservative? It won’t matter. If they are Republicans or even if they just merely espouse any conservative ideals, they will still get the treatment by those who label themselves as socially liberal.

We’re about to see an explosion of hypocrisy on all sides.

I don’t understand what all the excitement is about.  After all, it’s just about sex… isn’t it?

They won’t be anymore hypocritical than the men who preach family values getting caught with hookers.

Again, massages.

As long as the “ladies” involved were all properly compensated for their services this should not be any sort of an issue.  After all, we wouldn’t want these professional escorts to get “stiffed,” would we?

And since Puzzlefeet is a good union supporter, we should probably put in a good word for ”feather bedding”…

Could be the threat to name names is to prick the conscience of the guilty?



For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

Better the conscience than the condom.

But, come to think of it, perhaps the hole thing will just blow over, though I’ve seen some analysis that suggests that the prosecutor is merely pussy-footing around… or was that beating around the bush?

B1: You’re really taking advantage of me!
And as much as it pains me to lie down and take it, I can’t screw up my courage to stay awake much longer!
Just remember that the four letter word for intercourse is....talk!

When you really get down to it, here in the Unit-ed States, the comfort ladies experience is second to none. So don’t dick around with our freedoms! ‘Night!

Funny thing! Andy L keeps calling us bigots for abusing him, when we would insult anyone who was that big of a jerk regardless of sex, creed, race or religion!

Andie,

There’s no need to get indignant over this.  There’s actually nothing personal involved.  I just can’t stand people who are really, really stupid, and yet insist on showing off their intellectual ineptitude like it was a new tattoo or a five dollar bill you found in the parking lot behind some porno theater.

Hey! Did that five have Lincoln on it? ‘Cause I’m pretty sure I had a five with Lincoln on it when I left the house yesterday!
