Washington Buzzes About "DC Madam's" Records
By
Garrett M. Graff
Washington is all ablaze with gossip today about the potential impact of the "DC Madam," whose high-end escort service evidently kept many well-known Washingtonians entertained. Alleged madam Deborah Palfrey turned over her phone records to ABC News, which plans to air a special report on the revelations later this week. One high-level Bush administration figure has already resigned and many are waiting for more shoes (and names) to drop this week as ABC News continues its investigation. But one thing that's missing in all the coverage is just how common these set-ups are in Washington, which like any major city has a trove of escort services and less-than-legitimate massage parlors. In a Fall 2005 article, the Washingtonian's Chris Vogel investigated the "X-rated Washington" and found that more than 130 escort services openly advertise in the Yellow Pages and that at least eight massage parlors exist within 10 blocks of the White House. Randall Tobias, the former State Department official who resigned on Friday, is just the latest Washington figure to be embarrassed by run-ins with an escort service. In 2002, Democratic strategist Bob Beckel ended up going to the police when he found himself being blackmailed after having an escort come to his house. Could Palfrey's service just be the tip of the iceberg?

Maybe now congress will retroactively decriminalize prostitution, and this won’t be a story. For heaven’s sake, don’t we have more important things to worry about?

The problem isn't that they had sex. The problem is this bunch of lying, two-faced hypocrites wants to lord over everyone else claiming they are "holier than thou" while secretly doing the very things they prosecuted and persecuted others for. If they had any honor or morals left - or to begin with, they would just shut their mouths and leave office.

On any given day on various websites there are over 300 escorts advertising their wares in the DC area. On escort review websites certain individuals have seen over 300 escorts in past few years and there are girls with 20 pages of reviews. DC Madam's agency was not one of the top ones nor did it have the best girls. A well reviewed independent escort in the DC area working 15 hrs
a week can make over $200k a year. The average rate is approx $300 an hour.

I believe, if the provider of these services are charged, then the receiver of the services should be charged as well. Otherwise, we have a double standard. Usually, it is also discrimination against women. It is rooted in sexual discrimination. These cases would probably not be brought if the clients were charged.
