A federal jury in the District of Columbia yesterday convicted the so-called “D.C. Madam,” Deborah Jeane Palfrey, on “racketeering” charges (read, money laundering) arising out of her operation of an escort service, The Washington Post reported this morning. Palfrey’s defense was, I would agree, not believable: she claimed that she did not know that the women employed as escorts by her business were engaging in sex with clients. Uh huh. The only thing sillier is that this case was prosecuted in the first place. Thank heavens for the federales, keeping the Republic safe. Perhaps now they will focus on protecting us from Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds.,

So she can spend the rest of her life in jail and the users of the sevice get nothing. Without a customer there is no business. Another example of a double standard. Just like Heidi the Hollywood users got nothing and she got jail – how perverted is that not to mention where is the crime.
