This was the stupidest prosecution ever. Why should we care that she organized prostitutes? Was there even any hint that she mistreated them, that there was fraud involved, etc? The entire trial was selective moralistic bullshit. We are all prostitutes, at some level.

Sorry guys, I'm busy writing more articles with typos for you guys to freak out over. Should be fixed in a minute.

Hanged.... already noted twice but I guess, so long as commenters point it out, it doesn't actually have to be fixed in the text?

Pre-incarceration paperwork?! Really, Really!? REALLY?...Even going to jail has too much red tape.

Wow, I guess I am too late for this one. Two people have already said what I was going to say! So I'll say my comments anyway. Thank you, Fenster1977, for pointing out the hung/hanged situation. And thank you, cminus for noting that Palfrey looks like Palin. As for an original comment, she was convicted of using the mail for illegal purposes? I think some of random companies that send me some of the junk mail I receive might be guilty of this heinous violation of moral sensibility.

Only the foulness of your conspiracy programming will keep you from seeing the real truth: that Vince Foster faked his own death, got a sex change in Guatamala, and opened a brothel in DC only to be driven to suicide. There is no other explanation. Except maybe a quantum wormhole.

I still think she faked her death, took on a new identity on the other side of the country, bought some new frames, and used her little black book as leverage for a vice presidential spot on the ticket. You gotta admit, it makes just as much sense as any other explanation for Palin's presence on the ticket.

The prosecutors in her case have blood-stained hands. Hands, heck, make that up to their elbows!
