Breaking: The Ohio GOP's DC Madam Connection. Prostitutes!
Ohio GOPers and Hookers, hooray!!!
Madam Palfrey may have some Ohio clients sampling her services (services = PROSTITUTES).
And by the looks of it, a couple of them are big time GOPer donors. Wonder if they're "family values" GOPers? Protecting the sanctity of marriage and all that jazz. I can hear the waffling now..."Now remember, a little prostitute philanderin' action on the side never hurt no marriages like 'em homo's do."
From Madam Palfrey's 2200+ pages of phone records, the following Ohio numbers appeared (these numbers have already been released on the internet). Most of these numbers are cell phones so they have likely not been transfered from party to party.
513-235-1239
614-778-8313
216-701-3029
330-405-8612
330-405-8655
513-886-8400
513-677-5208
614-283-4757
A couple of the folks tied to these numbers are business leaders. A couple of the folks are community leaders. However, there seems to be an interesting link. A few of them have given money to the Ohio GOP. Solely to the GOP. A decent amount of money to the GOP actually. Some cash to Mary Taylor here, a dollar or two to Petro there, heck, even some to that party animal Montgomery. Several thousand buck-a-roo's to the GOP to be precise. Bling Bling to the GOP. Of course I don't mean to downplay the fact that Democrats love hookers themselves (they do - possibly even former Dem Senators...or their lame staffers. Maybe even one of these #'s are from dems), just last time I checked most Dems weren't up on a soapbox screaming about the threats to marriage and the family while turnin' tricks.
Especially. In. Ohio (Issue #2 anyone?).
And to be fair, just because these numbers appeared in the phone book for the leader of an accused 13+ year DC-based prostitution ring doesn't mean these folks automatically purchased prostitutes. I mean seriously, there are plenty of reasonable, 100% logical excuses why someone might appear in an alleged protitution leader's phone book. For example, maybe these folks were just calling for something as innocent as tips on how to accessorize with a hot pink boa.
It could happen.
I'm still digging for info on some of these numbers, so who knows, we may have some more twists and turns later today. One of them might even be a Congressman for all I know. Wouldn't that be fun?
PS. If you wanna be a super sleuth too, feel free to download the full list of phone numbers (150 megs large) and start searchin' away. I've already ID'ed a couple DC lobbyists. Bonus!
