 Let's hope Deadeye Dick didn't shoot any of the poor girls. From Roll Call May 23, 2007: "Vice President Cheney isn't not on the phone records of the alleged D.C. Madam, who is accused of running a high-price call-girl ring in Washington, the accused madam's lawyer said on Tuesday.
But then again, the veep isn't on the list, he said — not necessarily.
What's that? Montgomery Blair Sibley, lawyer to alleged madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey, tossed out the age-old "can neither confirm nor deny" teaser line while appearing with his client at Nathan's in Georgetown for one of the restaurant's "Q&A Café" chatting sessions. But clearly, the headline-hyping Sibley was eager to fan the flames of the bizarre Cheney escort-service rumor, which has popped up in some far corners of the blogosphere.
"We are investigating some numbers in the McLean area ... and if that turns something up, he might be called as a witness," Sibley said, referring to the Virginia neighborhood that the vice president once called home.
Palfrey maintains that she did not keep records of the clients of her escort service, only phone numbers. The services provided by her squadron of ladies, she says, were of the legal, "fantasy" variety.
And in an effort to find witnesses for her defense, Palfrey turned over portions of her phone records to ABC News, who she hoped would use the phone numbers to identify high-ranking former clients who could help her case. ABC, though, only named two administration officials as showing up on her phone list.
Palfrey and Sibley expressed disappointment, too, over the shortage of boldfaced names in ABC's reporting on the phone records. Although he gave props to ABC News reporter Brian Ross, Sibley indicated that they were expecting a few more.
