irregular times arrow pathsIt is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.

These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

Was Cheney A Prostitution Client?

Filed under Media, Republicans, Sex and Gender by jclifford at 5:42 pm

News you’re not reading about on the ABC News nightly report: Vice President Dick Cheney is on the list from his time as a part-time resident of McLean, Virginia while he was President and CEO of Halliburton.”

Wayne Madsen is reporting that he has three independent sources telling him that Dick Cheney is on the secret list of Deborah Jeane Palfrey’s clients. Deborah Jeane Palfrey is on trial, accused of being the madam of a Washington D.C. prostitution ring.

Madsen alleges that ABC News decided to stop the release of the list of the names of Palfrey’s sex clients, knowing that Dick Cheney’s telephone number was on the list.

Palfrey says that her escort service was not, legally speaking, prostitution. She says that clients did not get sex, exactly, but legal erotic fantasy services.

Is this an impeachable offense? No, especially since Dick Cheney was not yet Vice President when he is alleged to have be a client of the erotic escort service.

Is the story notable, given Dick Cheney’s political exploitation of the right wing anti-sex agenda that persecutes people for their own private sexual choices? Oh, yes, indeedy.

It’s also quite an important story if ABC News decided to kill the story in order to protect Vice President Dick Cheney, when ABC News has reported the names of other people who have been serviced by prostitutes.

Don’t count on the major news organizations to tell you about this story. Search for the information yourself.

I’ve never been there when Vice President Dick Cheney is having sex, so I won’t say that I know that this story is true. I will say that, especially if ABC News covered it up for political reasons, it’s worth looking at.

  1. Do you think his little black heart could handle an escort?

  2. His name is Dick, after all.

  3. Are you all going to apologize when it is found out that someone used his phone to make a call to the madaam…since it’s phone records they are looking at and nothing more….will you be surprised if Obama is on that list…will you be shocked if Reid is on that list….how about your favorite poster child…Kusinich?

    Comment by Harrold F. — 5/12/2007 @ 12:48 pm

  4. Hey, Harrold, can I use your phone to make a call to someone about…about…um, to discuss the political ramifications of “legal erotic fantasy services”? That would be phone sex, right? Hope you don’t mind if I disappear with your phone for a while.

    Wonder what type of erotic fantasy Cheney is into. Or Cheney’s um, er, ‘friend’.

    Comment by Iroquois Honky — 5/12/2007 @ 2:59 pm

  5. No you can’t use my phone for that…however…..think….do you always question someone you trust or do you ask them in detail who (whom) they are calling? And don’t give me that, “I alwys look at the bill, crap….” If you were as wealhty as Chenney, you wouldn’t need to look at the bill…..

    Comment by Harrold F. — 5/12/2007 @ 3:02 pm

  6. He needs to look at the bill.

    Comment by The Animist — 5/12/2007 @ 9:00 pm

  7. Hey, at least he wasn’t GAY, right Harrold?

    Comment by Tom — 5/13/2007 @ 3:16 pm

  8. How do you know it wasn’t Lynn? She’s the one with the history of sex obsession.

    Comment by richard — 5/13/2007 @ 8:07 pm

  9. You guys have heard of the TV show ‘Are you smarter than a fifth grader’ right? I think that Bush should do the show. They’d probably job it, though…worth a try.
