Read 'D.C. Madam' Deborah Jeane Palfrey's Suicide Note

Making a sadder story just a little bit sadder still, today the cops have revealed D.C. Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey's suicide note. Instead of blowing the lid of Dick Cheney's particular perversions or David Vitter's favorite style of Depends (logo of Elmo in wheelchair, masturbating), the two-page note is a heartbreakingly dull list of trivialities in grade-school girlish handwriting.

D.C. Madam 911 Suicide Tape Released

And a sad story becomes sadder still: Deborah Jeane Palfrey was found hanging dead in a storage shed behind her mother's Florida mobile home. Many pages of "handwritten suicide notes" were reportedly found in the shed by the Tarpon Springs police. Read the weird transcript, after the jump. More »

Deborah Jeane Palfrey To Be Remembered On Moon

For the great crime of hooking up willing ladies with horny politicians, "D.C. Madam" Deborah Jeane Paltry was facing four to six years in prison, and today she was found dead in a shed behind her mother's house in Florida. The men who paid for hookers through her service, such as Republican Senator David Vitter, have paid no price for their crimes, and they remain in power as the very people who make up the laws. Anyway, good-bye, Deborah Jeane. Though we didn't know you at all, you had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled. They crawled out of the woodwork, and they whispered into your brain. They set you on the treadmill and then Dick Cheney had you killed. But Wonkette just sent your name to this moon spaceship, Deborah. Enjoy the ride to a better place! [Washington Post]

D.C. Madam Found Dead!

Yikes! Deborah Jeane Palfrey, a.k.a. the D.C. Madam who sold whores to David Vitter and other "famous" folks in the Washington area, has "apparently" committed suicide after being convicted of money laundering and racketeering. Police found her dead in her mother's Tarpon Springs, Florida home today. She had not yet been sentenced. Maybe someone was going for a plea deal? WHAT IS HAPPENING? [Fox 13]

Bruce Barclay's Gay Sex Website No Longer Works. But Look!

Bruce Barclay, the ex-commissioner of Pennslvyania's Cumberland County, has shut down his website (at least for many of us) now that every knows he has had taped spy-sex with 100-500 male prostitutes from Harrisburg's frat scene (plus Karl Rove and "The Rock"). But look at this delightful fundraiser he held last year, in his pants. [Philadelphia Will Do]

Ex-PA Official Taped Sex With Hundreds of Male Prostitutes

Former Cumberland County, Pennsylvania Commissioner Bruce Barclay is a very special man. State police say he "videotaped hundreds of sexual encounters — many with male escorts — using cameras hidden throughout his Monroe Township home." But there are no rape allegations, so that's... something? Just wait until you read about the Harrisburg Frat Boys! More »

Corrections Regarding Big Beavers And The Mexican Language

Several concerned readers have written to Wonkette pointing out a few errors in our unbiased, information-filled reporting surrounding Debbie Stabenow's husband's tragic hooker bust. In bringing this very important information to you, we failed to adequately acquaint ourselves with greater Detroit Metropolitan area roadways, for one, and then there is the little issue of "speaking Mexican."

D.C. Gal Who Had Sex For Money Five Years Ago Now Maybe A Hooker At Eliot Spitzer's Latest Brothel?

Hey everybody, remember Jessica Cutler? No? Well, a long time ago there was this Senate staffer aide and she had sex — including sex in the butt! — with men who gave her money or other valuables in exchange for the sex. This was different from all other human relationships because she, Jessica Cutler, made a blog about this, five years ago, when blogs were kind of a new thing. So how is she obviously involved with the Eliot Spitzer hooker scandal? More »

SPITZER PATRONIZED BLONDE HOMETOWN HOOKER: Sources say former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer was a client of Wicked Models, whose yellow-haired founder, Kristin Davis, was just arrested. Like the other Kristen, this gal is also covered in tattoos, but she seems to have a better head for business. Prosecutors said she made $2 million last year. [NYP]

How Sex Scandals Ruin Our Democracy

Besides the wives and children, who are the true victims of high-placed leaders' tawdry sex affairs? Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, of course! Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and indicted Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick are (or were) both Democratic superdelegates. Spitzer was in the tank for Clinton, while Kilpatrick reportedly favors Obama, even though the Obama campaign halfheartedly denies it. So what happens when reckless oversexed Democrats let their personal addictions interfere with their public lives? They make the increasingly weird superdelegate count even less predictable. Of course, none of this matters if Clinton and Obama superdelegates keep cancelling each other out by getting caught in embarrassing situations in equal numbers. [Political Punch, NPR]

Everyone's A Whore

Are you tired of looking at pictures of prostitutes? Ha ha, liar! America's political cartoonists have determined that hookers are an "In" visual icon these days, and, being shameless, have no shame about transforming many aspects of our beloved nation into whores for polemical purposes. Find out which abstract concepts you'd pay to fuck, after the jump. More »

Welcome To Washington's Elite Mayflower Whoretel

There are two iconic Washington hotels, swank palaces so famous that their very names have come to define the two main activities of our political elite: corruption and whoring. The first, of course, is the Watergate. The second is the Mayflower, which was named for the famous pimpette Sydney Biddle Barrows, the "Mayflower Madam." It's a little pricey even by D.C. lodging standards, so if you're a regular there, you're probably a regular user of $4,300 hookers — according to the liberal New York Times. More »

So Many Pictures Of Kristen/Ashley, Now That We Don't Want To See Them

Tired of Ashley Kristen Alexandra Dupre yet? Us too! But not US Magazine! The celebrity weekly has about a thousand pictures of Eliot Spitzer's allegedly high-class hooker, and they're all about as bad as this one, and we think the official title of this set is "The Official Seal of the Great State of New Jersey." Remember that picture of a pretty young Ashley/Kristen in a bikini on a yacht? That was apparently taken in 1978. [US Magazine]

LARRY KING IS STILL INSANE: The excitable senior covers Kristen-Ashley by jabbering, "How does the escort feel, Kathleen? And, apparently, it's going to get, if the term is right, more huge." [Extreme Mortman]

Kristen-Ashley, Tattooed N.J. Hip-Hop Hooker, Is Milking It For All She's Worth


As expected by everyone, Ashley Alexander Kristen Dupre has already done a mostly-naked photo shoot, for the NEW YORK POST, which seriously has like a dozen EXCLUSIVE pics of the superstar hooker. (UPDATE: No, the Post just bought one-day rights to some pictures she posed for last year.) And, well, we are sort of losing our sympathy for this not-so-delicate flower of the night. More »

Hope For America: Our First Blind Governor!

Everybody knew 2008 would be a very historic year for various genders and races becoming president, but little did we expect that all of our "melting pot" dreams would come true so soon, and so sweetly. Americans can stand up and feel proud, for we have our first blind governor! More »

Ashley Alexandra Dupre Suddenly Selling Music

There's a "happy ending" to this story after all! Ashley Alexandra Dupre has the No. 1 song on Amie Street, which is the digital-download thing where she posts her songs, for sale. And today, Ashley/Kristen has the No. 1 and No. 7 top songs on the weekly chart. Help Ashely/Kristen make more money than she could ever make with that creep Spitzer! The music is pretty horrific, but who knows, maybe it's the kind of thing you like, if you're 12. Plus, it's for kind of a good cause. And maybe it will teach the kids about politics!

But, But, How Should Republicans Resign As New York Governor?

Eliot Spitzer pissed off pretty much everyone in the world. This was Good For Society when he was going after evil rich people on Wall Street, but it wasn't so noble when he was using the cops to harass his political opponents or infuriating his fellow Democratic legislators in Albany. This is why nobody ran to his defense as Spitzer huddled in his sinister, cavernous Manhattan lair waiting for somebody to tell him it's okay to keep being governor. But there is one segment of society that is boldly standing up for Spitzer's right to get caught in a federal money-laundering sting because he had to spend so much on prostitutes even though he "made his reputation" by busting prostitution businesses in New York.
