Everybody knows Louisiana politicians are really corrupt versions of the already incredibly corrupt DC politicians, so it comes as no surprise that one of them shows up on the DC Madam’s list. The surprise is that Republican Senator David Vitter admits to paying to screw some gals. Well done, Senator Vitter! We appreciate your candor, after you got caught. MORE »

What else could anyone conclude from this bit of weirdness, in today’s Roll Call:

Vice President Cheney isn’t not on the phone records of the alleged D.C. Madam, who is accused of running a high-price call-girl ring in Washington, the accused madam’s lawyer said on Tuesday.

Hey, Brian Ross! This is Wonkette, calling you on your prop phone. Why won’t you report that Cheney is the “former CEO” in McLean who’s on the DC Madam’s list? MORE »

Not every Adult Services Business is a fancy operation like DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey’s escort service. The difference between $300 outcall and $275 incall is illustrated by this horrifying photograph and the accompanying news story:

HAGERSTOWN, Md. — An alleged dominatrix on the lam since her indictment in 2001 has been caught and returned to Virginia to face charges of prostitution and crimes against nature, police said. Patricia Helen Meehan, 55, also is charged with keeping a bawdy house and manufacturing marijuana ….

Meehan allegedly told a man who was considering buying a home in the neighborhood that she was a dominatrix and charged $275 an hour for her services. When police searched Meehan’s home, they found bondage instruments and sexual aids, Kennedy said.

So be careful out there, or you might wind up in a “bawdy house” where alchemists are committing “crimes against nature” such as “manufacturing marijuana” right next to where they keep the “sexual AIDS.” MORE »

Today’s racist Bush nominee is Henrietta Holsman-Fore, currently some factotum at the State Department and soon to be in charge of U.S. AID, which is basically in charge of all foreign aid to foreigners.

Holsman-Fore used to own a factory in Los Angeles, where she complained about her low-paid Negro Workers who kept going “back to the street to earn more money” selling crack.

Meet our Bush nominee of the day, after the jump.

Former Wonkette editor and AboveTheLaw blogger David Lat perfectly summarizes a gossip double-play that the Politico will spend 1,500 words explaining:

The secretary for Monica Goodling’s lawyer moonlighted as an escort for the D.C. madam.

Let us examine the case of Deborah Jeane Palfrey. So far, the shock-and-awe guy and one predictably hypocritical State department functionary have been outed as whoremongers. Who’s left? A “high-level CEO,” the head of a damn think tank, lobbyists, “military officials,” and a Bush administration economist. An economist? This is what passes for sexy intrigue now? MORE »

Remember how we won the hearts and minds of Iraqis by carpet-bombing their nation four years ago? The military genius who came up with that idiot “Shock and Awe” routine is on the DC Madam’s list! MORE »

The 15,000 or so johns on DC Madam Deborah Jean Palfrey’s customer list can sort of relax, because she’s not selling the list. MORE »

Toe-sucking whore renter Dick Morris has apparently denied being a client of DC Madam Deborah Jean Palfrey’s prostitution service, according to an AP correction:

In a March 9 story about a former escort service owner pleading not guilty to racketeering, The Associated Press erroneously reported that political consultant Dick Morris acknowledged being a client. Morris said the claim is “totally untrue.” A corrected version appears below.

But Palfrey says — in a letter posted today on WTOP’s website — that Morris repeatedly admitted to being a client. Where did he do the admitting? Palfrey says “on numerous occasions on national television, in 1996.” MORE »
