"Miz Julia" doled out a steady stream of advice, both practical and philosophical.

From her California home, she e-mailed tips to the 132 women who worked across the Washington area for the firm Pamela Martin & Associates. Her newsletters, now excerpted in court records, were a virtual how-to manual for avoiding all kinds of trouble in a business said to specialize in erotic fantasies

"One never quite knows where evil, i.e., the vice squad is lurking in this business," read one arch entry from 1995. "The misogynists get a real kick out of surprising (shocking) you girls, when you give them the opportunity!!! . . . Therefore, you are to lock, double lock, triple lock all doors!!! . . . Figure it out, before they 'get cha'!!!"

Miz Julia was the pseudonym for Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the woman at the center of a sex scandal that has caused a deputy secretary of state to resign and has lawyers calling around town trying to keep their clients' names out of public view. A one-time law student, Palfrey ran for 13 years what she insists was a legal escort service. Federal prosecutors allege she was providing $300-an-hour prostitutes, and a grand jury indicted her in February on federal racketeering charges.

Palfrey's flamboyant attorney, Montgomery Blair Sibley, said Friday that he has been contacted by five lawyers recently, asking whether their clients' names are on Palfrey's list of 10,000 to 15,000 phone numbers. Some, Sibley said, have inquired about whether accommodations could be made to keep their identities private. ABC is expected to air a report on Palfrey and her clients on "20/20" on May 4, during sweeps.

"Must See TV"!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

[MADem]

3. She's given the exclusive to ABC...wonder if ABC will redact their pals from it? NT

[KittyWampus]

6. or Republicans.

[MADem]

8. Heh, that's the thing--their pals ARE the Republicans!!! NT

[KansDem]

13. I wouldn't have given "the list" to ABC, considering it's right-wing, neo-con bias

I would have given it to Huffington Post, TruthOut, Michael Moore, Brad Blog, or some other fair and balanced news disseminater.

On second thought, I would've just cut to the chase and given it to BartCop!

4. Who will they protect?

Communications lobbyists? Friendly members of congress? Some names are gonna be ordered dropped from the portions of the list they give exposure to, Ah garunteeeit.

Watch for a few Dems as well. If there is even one, that Dem will get star billing.
IE: 1000 repuke names, and one Dem name = "The scandal is rocking both sides of the isle!" "This bipartisan scandal..."

"Sibley also filed notice that he intends to depose political consultant Dick Morris in a separate civil proceeding. Morris would not comment."

10. Why stop there? I want somebody to get Gannon - I'd like to know

who from the whitehouse was on HIS list.

12. You have to give the conservatives credit.

Not only do they own the media, they time the exposure of their scandals perfectly for big ratings when it counts.

I feel sorry for their wives. They probably found out their hubbies were paying for sex the same time America did.
