We have to admit, our burning desire for a real-life Washington sex scandal probably causes us to pay too much attention to Deborah Jeane Palfrey. She, of course, is the owner of Pamela Martin & Associates, alleged to provide prostitutes to the D.C. area for some 13 years. But even our interest in Madam Palfrey doesn’t extend to listening to a five hour radio interview.
Despite giving an “exclusive” interview with ABC earlier this month, Palfrey has apparently recorded an extensive chat with wsRadio.com. The Internet radio group, which offers two clips of the interview online, is now selling the tape to the highest bidder. Considering that she’s currently facing civil and criminal charges in connection to her escort business, which she says provided “legal sexual and erotic services”, we’re a little skeptical that she could fill five hours of radio with titillating stories or even just slightly amusing anecdotes while not further incriminating herself.
You’ll remember that Palfrey, who continues to intimate that she’ll release her 15,000-strong client list, recently gave us a “sneak peak” of her “high profile” D.C. clients. Two words: Harlan Ullman. Needless to say, we were not amused. For now we’re pinning all our hopes for a summertime sex scandal on the entrepreneur’s appeal to the Supreme Court to stop her criminal trial. She claims not to have been provided with sufficient legal counsel. Frankly, the legal heft of her claim doesn’t matter to us, we’d just like something to happen with this tale of high-class hookers in the nation’s capital that keeps getting more boring at every turn.
