If anyone is still exploring the DC Madame, I posted something over in the new thread on why a Federal judge enjoined our Madame from releasing her client records.

IIRC, she simply “gave” them to ABC just before that order came down. The court told abc to give them back and they did, BUT they made copies. the journalist in question is a lower tier one, but is essentially saying, “confidential sources, KMA!”. And rather than have a messy court action to try and get them back (since they are aleady in the wild as it were) which risks abc simply mass emailing them to every journo in town, the bushies have said nada.

Palfrey had threatened to sell phone records that would identify 10,000 clients to pay for her criminal defense, but a federal judge ordered her not to release them. However, she gave them to ABC News before the order took effect.

10,000 ???

Holy cow!

dr. freud, line one. sex 1, any other motivation (common sense, self preservation, etc.) 0

In this guy’s case it’s not JUST the hypocrisy –

it’s the hypocrisy that leads to the death of others!

Their sanctimony prevents humanitarian health groups from saving innumerable lives.

[God is not amused.

As a child I was frightened of the whole notion of Judgement Day. Not any more. My personal belief (which I do NOT push on others) in a Final Justice is a great, great comfort to me.

And at the same time I believe just as strongly, if not more so, that it is the duty of every human being, regardless of faith or lack thereof, to strive for the best human embodiment of Justice in THIS LIFE as is possible.]

For some decades more and more theologians (the kind who actually try to make some kind of sense of the ancient documents about faith) have speculated that “hell” isn’t external, but internal, a matter of conscience that, unlike here, cannot be denied or avoided in the “afterlife”. Even a major catholic encyclical came out during the John Paul II era along this line. (disclaimer: my dad was/is such a theologian, altho not catholic. I am a “functional atheist” which to me means militant agnosticism (*i* don’t understand god and *neither do you*!)) My dad even had a saying he’d use in counciling people, “Hell may simply result from being in Heaven and not able to enjoy yourself!” Curiously enough, this almost *exactly* matches the actual text of the account of the rich man and lazarus parable. Hmmmm.

I unloaded several in the next thread. Gotta stop now.

He’s an AT&T former exec. What’s he know about that Co. colluding etc w/NSA wrt domestic surveillance?

Just something I’d want to know. Not drawing any conclusions, yet.

And how ironic.. a former AT&T exec. who may have beein instrumental in facilitating the eavesdropping on untold numbers of innocent Americans is brought down by a cell phone bill.

Mwahahahahah!

Also, o/t, saw Bloch interviewed on CSPAN yesterday. He says he and only he has jurisdiction to investigate Hatch Act violations.

Also says political considerations had no role in his being appointed to his position. Oh and that that WH counsel Fielding is being very cooperative in the investigation.

Yep he’s our guy to restore law and order.

I’m sure Rove is just trembling knowing that Bloch is on his trail.
