Hypocrisy and sex is usually a mundane business, but when dealing with the powerful people of the country, I suppose it can be deadly. The D.C. Madam, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, is reported to be a suicide today. I thought it was bad enough that she was up on charges that could have netter her fifty years in prison - fifty years for managing the sale of sexual favors among consenting adults. The politician just suffers a bad news cycle for being caught with his pants down. Okay, former Governor Spitzer suffered worse, but still! I can appreciate it if you want to argue that such loose sex is less than morally upstanding, but should it be a crime? Should it be a matter of life and death? How is somebody like Dick Cheney suppose to get laid!?

"If taken into custody, my physical safety and most probably my very life would be jeopardized," she wrote in August 1991 following an attempt to bring her to trial, "Rape, beating, maiming, disfigurement and more than likely murder disguised in the form of just another jailhouse accident or suicide would await me," said Palfrey in a handwritten letter to the judge accusing the San Diego police vice squad of having a vendetta against her.
During several recent appearances on The Alex Jones Show, Palfrey also said that she was at risk of being killed and that authorities would make it look like suicide. She made it clear that she was not suicidal and if she was found dead it would be murder.
Palfrey had threatened to release the names of well-known clients of her upscale call girl ring in the nation's capitol, and had indicated that Dick Cheney may be one of them.
"No I'm not planning to commit suicide," Palfrey told The Alex Jones Show on her last appearance, "I'm planning on going into court and defending myself vigorously and exposing the government," she said.
