Not too long ago, we told you the story of a woman the media have now dubbed “The DC Madam”. Deborah Jean Palfrey claims to have the names of some 15,000 clients in her “little black book”, and many of them are well known names inside the Beltway.

Palfrey claimed her first big name victim last Friday. Deputy Secretary of State Randall Tobias resigned suddenly after he revealed he used Palfrey’s escort service, quoting here, “to have gals come over to the condo to give me a massage”. Tobias denies having sex with any of the “gals”, an assertion that bolsters Palfrey’s contention her business didn’t provide sexual services to clients.

Two weeks ago, Palfrey named one Harlan Ullman as “one of the regular customers”. Ullman, who’s denied the allegation, is one of the leading theorists behind the “shock and awe” strategy used in the invasion of
Iraq. And as they say on those late night infomercials, wait…there’s more.

On her Web site, Palfrey reveals she gave copies of certain  years of her records to ABC News. She of course is trying to fight a federal racketeering beef that could land her in jail for a long stretch. ABC plans a 20/20 segment about Palfrey next week.

Will Deborah Palfrey’s revelations bring down more powerful men in DC? You can bet if she’s got a list of 15,000 clients, there are 30,000 DC men who are sweating bullets until this whole thing is settled.
