Palfrey: Former escort committed suicide after arrest
On ABC's 20/20, Deborah Jeane Palfrey spoke about the upscale escort service that she ran in Washington D.C., in a story which has captivated the nation's capital as many wonder what possible power brokers may have been on the clientele list.
Palfrey said that the authorities aren't interested in the list of reportedly 1,000 names of her former clients that the "DC madam" turned over to ABC. Deputy Secretary of State Randall Tobias resigned last Friday "twenty-four hours after confirming to 20/20" that he'd been a client, and admitted to receiving massages from an escort.
According to ABC, most of the names just aren't "newsworthy." While reports indicated that ABC would reveal at least two client's names, no new ones were revealed, including the name of the president of a conservative think tank who was alluded to in earlier reports. snip
Ross added, "But as usually is the case in Washington, much of it is dull.
There were no members of Congress that we could find in these phone records, no White House officials." ---------------------------------------

"D.C. Madam" Called Vitter During Votes
(CBS/AP) A woman accused of running a Washington prostitution ring placed five phone calls to David Vitter while he was a House member, including two while roll call votes were under way, according to telephone and congressional records.
Vitter, a Louisiana Republican now in the Senate, acknowledged Monday that his number was on the woman's call list and apologized for a "very serious sin." The married father of four has remained in seclusion since, missing Senate votes and other activities Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, but a colleague says he's expected back for roll call votes next week.
Senator Jim DeMint says he has been trading e-mails with Vitter and it's his understanding that the Louisana Republican has been in Louisiana with his wife and their four children.
Telephone records released by Deborah Jeane Palfrey indicate she placed calls that were answered by Vitter's Washington phone on five occasions while Vitter was in the House, from 1999 through 2001. On four of those five days, the House was in session and Vitter participated in every roll call vote.
