Sen. Vitter Apologizes for Number Showing Up on Phone Records of Alleged Prostitution Ring

WASHINGTON — Louisiana Sen. David Vitter apologized Monday for his telephone number showing up on the old phone records of Pamela Martin and Associates, the alleged prostitution ring run in the nation's capital by Deborah Jeane Palfrey.

"This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible," Vitter said in a statement.

"Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there --with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way," he wrote.

The acknowledgment from Vitter, a Republican who recently won praise from conservatives for his opposition to the immigration reform bill, comes days after U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler lifted a restraining order, allowing Palfrey, 51, to distribute pages of phone records that she and her attorney said contains up to 15,000 names.

On Monday, she released the numbers on her Web site.

Prosecutors had won two temporary restraining orders to prevent her from distributing the list, first to preserve its availability and then to prevent the harassment of potential witnesses through its distribution.

But prosecutors' arguments did not hold up, the judge ruled. The availability of the list is not in jeopardy and it was not seized or listed with her other assets that were subject to forfeiture, Kessler wrote.

Freezing "the personal property of an individual, not yet convicted of any crime" would be an extraordinary step, the requirements of which government prosecutors failed to satisfy, the judge wrote.

Palfrey is facing federal racketeering and conspiracy charges for running what she says was a legal escort service. Prosecutors say the business netted more than $2 million from 1993 to 2006.

Judge Lifts Restraining Order Banning D.C. Madam From Revealing Client List

WASHINGTON — A woman accused of running a prostitution ring in the nation's capital is free to distribute thousands of pages of phone records after a federal judge lifted a restraining order on Thursday.

U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler's order granted the request of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, 51, of Vallejo, Calif., to quash restrictions by government prosecutors that prohibited her from giving away the list.

"As a result, Jeane has determined to release those records under certain conditions to qualified individuals or organizations," wrote her attorney, Montgomery Blair Sibley, in an e-mail.

Palfrey and her attorney have said the list contains up to 15,000 names and could shake up Washington by revealing high-profile individuals.

Prosecutors had won two temporary restraining orders to prevent her from distributing the list, first to preserve its availability, and then to prevent the harassment of potential witnesses through its distribution.

But prosecutors' arguments did not hold up, the judge ruled. The availability of the list is not in jeopardy and it was not seized or listed with her other assets that were subject to forfeiture, Kessler wrote.

Freezing "the personal property of an individual, not yet convicted of any crime" would be an extraordinary step, the requirements of which government prosecutors failed to satisfy, the judge wrote.

I KNOW EXACTLY WHICH NAMES I'D LIKE TO SEE ON THAT LIST! he he he

Oh dear.

That was Vitter's punishment for being so outspoken against the bill. They must all have skeletons in their closets.

Yes, now the shadow government will start releasing all the dirt they have on the politicians that stood against them.

Blackmail and Bribery.

Welcome to Washington.

Well, I guess since we were happy with him for doing our bidding with the amnesty bill, we should just repeat: Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

I personally don't care what he allegedly does/has done with his pants up or down. That has nothing whatsoever to do with illegal immigration...He did the right thing opposing shamnesty- Period.

The democrats shouldn't open their mouths about Vitter since their #1 candidate is the wife of a very public womanizer.

I suspect more shocking revelations from the 'little black book' to hit the airwaves in the near future, and many more we will never hear about.

While I find any evidence of elected official cavorting with whores deplorable.

It sure beats opening the borders of the US, throwing the existing immigration laws and US Constitution to the wind, and facilitating the invasion of America by millions of 3rd world illegal aliens any day!

Most of America would rather have the Monica Lewinski Scandal, Iran Contra, or Water Gate back compared to the happy horse crap going on with Bush and the traitors right now.

At least those scandals did not result in the kind of death and mayhem that American citizens are experiencing due to Bush and crew.

It's a sad day in America when you miss Watergate and a a bunch of Senators getting caught with prostitutes is a relief compared to the real scandal at hand.

Big whoop. We had lots of fun at the Delta House.

Vitter voted against the amnesty bill which is all I care about.

p.s. remember Bob Packwood? Now that's a senator who had serious issues.

Yes, now the shadow government will start releasing all the dirt they have on the politicians that stood against them.

Anyone who steps out against them...is going to get the treatment...I wonder what they have planned for Sessions
