CNN is reporting that the DC Madam has apparently committed suicide. (Here’s the Associated Press). I’m not suggesting she didn’t, but didn’t pretty much everyone predict at some point that her life was in danger? I wonder if she or her loved ones were threatened or she just became depressed with the likely outcome of her sentencing. She was found in a small storage shed with a suicide note.

very sad news
“suicide”.
right. that’s certainly conveeeenient. And Benazir Bhutto died when she bonked her head on the suv roof.
(he said as he put on his tin-foil hat).
That woman was tough as nails from what I’ve read, and had already served time.
From what I’ve read, it was the fact that she had already done time that pressed her into avoiding going back.
or resistant about going back to the Big House, then I’ll believe it, but all bets are off right now.
Supposedly, Larry Flynt has her black books, but I think the government has them under lock and key now.
Vittycent (Sen. David Vitter) doesn’t have to mess his pants up any more thinking about how much she could spill about his and other’s propensities in court and otherwise. However, I wonder about how many other powerful johns–like Darth Cheney for instance, as alleged–are also breathing a sigh of relief or a wheeze of triumph.
It’s too bad that this woman had to take the fall, but ladies of the night like Eliot Spitzer’s Girls Gone Wild hooker get more notorious by the week.
too early to tell but my first thought is that suicide is always convenient for things like this.
Just like with Enron (who was the guy that killed himself in his car) – it does sound fishy right off the bat….
RE :suicide is always convenient for things like this.
Yea that and plane crashes .
So a pimp takes her life. I do feel bad. I feel bad because she was a human being. I feel bad for her family. But ya know what?
Rather than post on this kind of “draamatic news” that I’m sure the cable stooges will use as another misdirect, how about at least some comments re Lurita Doans resignation? Since she has resigned, does that mean that she is no longer capable of being charged with criminal violations of the Hatch Act? Does she go the way of the rest of the god damned crooks that have walked?
Nah- let’s focus on the pimp!
Palfrey was a madam. She was the she-pimp*.
*It’s a Deuce Bigelow thing.
Chilling, to say the least. Who commits suicide in a small storage shed? Does that not just scream our for investigation? I wonder who’s in charge of this one, I’d google names and start checking backgrounds for evidence of a whitewash if I had a clue how criminal investigations worked in real life.
When I was in college, a man in my neighborhood commtted suicide in the crawl space under his house. He was ‘missing’ for a whilie (I think about a week) and there was a police search. Then his son found him when investigating a smell. It was investigated and they decided it really was suicide.
People who commit suicide aren’t always rational about how or where they do it.
Don’t forget Brandy Britton, a professor who was also ac accused along with Palfrey, suicided last Feb.
Ironically, after finding out that Britton had killed herself, Palfrey said:
Veddy interesting. I don’t doubt for a moment these women were killed. Naturally, I don’t have proof, but we’ve all seen that movie, right?
Who kills themselves in a storage shed?
People who do not want to mess up the living room.
Duh.

Silly me!
As I see it, Dan Moldea has long been a shill for the government, so I find this both predictable and likely untrue:
Dan Moldea wrote perhaps the most dishonest book on the RFK assassination to date. I figured he owed someone in the government something. I think he’s still paying them back….
Lisa…
I was going to write you about Moldea…I remembered that you know his act.
I would be curious to know exactly when the earliest date might be that he publicly stated this suicide thing.
Muddying the waters.
Classic.
Did her black book commit suicide too?
And the bullshit continues. Will they NEVER get busted?
