D.C. madam a suicide, police in Florida say

Do No Evil – Deborah Palfrey, convicted of running a high-end Washington prostitution ring that snagged Sen. David Vitter (R), killed herself Thursday, weeks after her trial ended on charges that she said she would never go to prison for. Palfrey was convicted April 15 by a federal jury of running a prostitution service that catered to D.C.'s political elite.

I would agree that the timing seems suspect. I would think knowing what the actual consequences might be an important factor prior to stepping off the step ladder with a rope around one's neck.

How many senators, congressmen, governors in jail for having sex with prostitutes? Answer=0 They were going to put her in jail for decades, but the cigar smokers always seem to get a pass don't they! This country and it's leaders has turned into a case study of double standards and complete injustice!

You obviously didn't read the story. 57 to 71 months is not decades. (hint - divide the numbers by 12 to get years from months ok)

...for once,K-Ville; I agree with you...She was probably suicided...(That tense refers to someone else killing her...)

Assuming she DID kill herself--and for me conspiracy theories are almost always the least plausible explanations in such cases--this is very sad indeed.

What does it say about misguided "justice" when one is condemned to prison for facilitating sexual encounters between men who want such and women (in this case) who are willing to fulfill that need?

Those who rail about government intervention in our daily lives, and others against sex workers, would do well to ponder the barbaric practice of outlawing commercial sexual exchanges among CONSENTING ADULTS.

(Almost makes me want to be a Libertarian!)

Dredging up old history to offset any negatives regarding republicans in this current story?

The Vince Foster situation is OLD news and there was NEVER any valid evidence from anywhere to implicate anyone in his death.

Get over it ...

That's what you get when you mess with powerful people. There is no need to call it a conspiracy, there was no need to conspire, someone important had a problem and someone took care of it for him. I have little doubt that many of the people in our Federal government have the necessary connections. I'm fairly certain people in the do in Michigan and Louisiana State governments, why not DC?

Free elections can only work against corruption when people pay attention to corruption during elections. Even then, with large well established parties the elected officials might not be corrupt, but the party leaders they listen to could be. I see no reason for either the Republicans or the Democrats to opt out of potentially useful connections with the more criminal elements of society, so long as it is done discretely.

This death is suspicious as hell. Im sure a lot of people were paid off on this one and that includes the media. Too many kinky Washington big wigs @sses on the line.

Once she outed her client list this "suicide" was set in motion.

Is it possible this woman may have had connections to parties living in another country(ies)and provided those parties with copies of her client list ? Maybe Cheney INTENDED to shoot the guy he was hunting with ?!? Maybe Bill was actually trying to choke that woman with the cigar to keep her quiet permanently?

Maybe George jr. LIKED cheerleading in the nude for visiting Saudi's and other Yale graduates ? My GAWD ! Where will this END ?!?

I never heard about that last thing, but somehow cheer-leading in the nude sounds like an inappropriate but harmless form of entertainment, while the other things you mentioned seem much more sinister. If that is all George has done, I'd much rather hangout with him than Dick, Bill or the people on this woman's list.
