Did Senator Vitter Get Hustled?

When Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana confessed to "a very serious sin" on Monday night, Debra Jean Palfrey was not about to forgive him. Sin is one thing; but Palfrey believes Vitter — a proponent of the "sanctity of marriage" — should fess up if that sin was a crime as well. After all, she notes, prostitution is a legal offense for both purveyor and consumer. And as the so-called "D.C. Madam" whose escort service Vitter says he used, Palfrey says the agency she ran was merely one-half of the alleged equation. "Why am I the only person being prosecuted?" she told TIME over the phone. "Sen. Vitter should be prosecuted [if he broke the law]" Palfrey has been battling prostitution-related charges in federal court in Washington, and became a celebrity of sorts in May when ABC's 20/20 ran a story on her service "Pamela Martin & Associates." So far, one State Department official has resigned in connection with the scandal.

In his prepared statement Monday night, Vitter did not address whether he broke the law, how many times he used the escort service, when he stopped using it or whether he recommended the service to others. His office did not respond to requests for comment on those issues. But Palfrey argues that those potentially prurient details of Vitter's activity are key to her case. "If Sen. Vitter participated in any illegal behavior, illegal sex, illegal prostitution, intercourse or oral sex of any kind, you would have to wonder why he would not be prosecuted," she said. Palfrey's legal defense is that no prostitution took place because the escorts who worked for her business were issued strict written instructions not to engage in illegal sexual activity. Indeed, Randall Tobias, the senior State Dept. official who admitted using the service and then resigned, has claimed that he only received "massage." Palfrey's lawyer says Vitter will be called as a witness to testify under oath in her court case.

Vitter's admission that he used the escort service is tied to a call from a telephone number listed in public records in his name in Washington on February 27, 2001. Until late last week, a federal judge had prohibited Palfrey from publicly releasing her phone bills, but the ban was lifted and the entire archive — which Palfrey has said would weigh in at roughly 46 pounds in paper form — has been placed on her website. Members of a team assembled by self-described pornographer Larry Flynt, publisher of Hustler, are understood to have identified Vitter's name through their own analysis of Palfrey's phone records. Flynt has a long record of exposing what he regards as "hypocrisy" on the part of politicians who tout family or religious values, while falling short in their own lives. Flynt recently placed a full page adverstisement in the Washington Post, asking, "Have you had a sexual encounter with a current member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official?" It went on to offer $1 million for documented evidence, and listed a toll-free number and an email address.

Could Palfrey and Flynt be working together? One of Flynt's lead investigators, crime reporter Dan E. Moldea, was recently reported by the Washington Post to be having lunch with Palfrey. TIME has confirmed that he is helping her write a book currently being shopped to New York publishers which details her exploits as the "DC Madam". But both she and Flynt have said they have never met and are not coordinating their efforts.

Vitter is currently the Southern campaign director for presidential candidate Rudolph Guiliani. At the time of the phone call to Palfrey's escort service, Vitter was still a member of the House of Representatives. In 2006, Vitter emerged as a strong supporter of Marriage Protection Ammendment, a proposed constitutional amendment that emerged in reaction to the push for the right of gays to marry. It defined marriage as being between a man and a woman. On Monday, Vitter indicated that his marriage had survived his sin, which lay in the past. Vitter said, "Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way." He did not name the escort with whom he sinned.

Palfrey said she is not currently aware of the name of the escort who might be linked to Sen. Vitter, which she could find only by consulting additional records. She has said her service employed hundreds of contractors and sub-contractors in the Washington, Maryland and Virginia area, one of numerous services that routinely advertise in local publications.

'DC madam' lawyer: Cheney isn't not on phone records Ron Brynaert
Published: Wednesday May 23, 2007



Although ABC News claimed that an examination of Deborah Jeane Palfrey's phone records revealed that there weren't any more prominent ex-clients of the DC madam, that hasn't stopped the guessing games and rumour mills from working overtime.

"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," Emily Heil reports for Roll Call. "But then again, the veep isn’t on the list, he said — not necessarily."

Heil continues, "What’s that? Montgomery Blair Sibley, lawyer to alleged madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey, tossed out the age-old 'can neither confirm nor deny' teaser line while appearing with his client at Nathan’s in Georgetown for one of the restaurant’s Q&A Café chatting sessions. But clearly, the headline-hyping Sibley was eager to fan the flames of the bizarre Cheney escort-service rumor, which has popped up in some far corners of the blogosphere."

“'We are investigating some numbers in the McLean area ... and if that turns something up, he might be called as a witness,' Sibley said, referring to the Virginia neighborhood that the vice president once called home," Roll Call reports.

A few weeks ago, DC gossip blog Wonkette gave "[t]hanks to the 700 people who sent in the latest 'anything’s possible' rumor from angry local blogger Wayne Madsen."

"ABC News all but dropped the story when Cheney threatened to jam that prop phone three feet up the ass of Brian Ross," Wonkette mocked. "That’s why the formerly explosive scandal story instead got seven minutes at the end of whatever ABC News show Friday night."

According to Roll Call, "Palfrey and Sibley expressed disappointment, too, over the shortage of boldfaced names in ABC’s reporting on the phone records."

At his website, Madsen mentioned that CBS late night host David Letterman referred to the Cheney rumour.

"Here's a story we're working on now," Letterman said, according to Madsen's account. "Apparently, there are rumors coming out of Washington that Vice President Dick Cheney, when he was the CEO of Halliburton, used to go visit prostitutes. This could explain why one girl was paid two billion dollars. I mean, I was thinking about this and Cheney ... I mean, going to a prostitute, that's ... I mean, I can't believe a good-looking guy like that would ever have to pay for sex, you know what I'm saying?"

Wonkette explained why its staffers were "underwhelmed by this rumor."

"Because even if it’s a fact, which it probably is, there’s no way it would have any impact on Cheney’s 'career,'" Wonkette continued. "This is a draft-dodging half-human war criminal with a pregnant lesbian daughter who tells senators to fuck themselves and shoots his own friends in the face. Ordering an outcall hooker is positively innocent compared to the well-known things Cheney does every day."
