@SuperBien: Oh yeah, the Law & Order episode is going to be classic. It'll turn out to be the governors social-climbing wife who set up the hit or something though.

@Buzz Killington: Whatevs. I can't wait for the "Law + Order" writers to get a hold of this . . . They could tie in Spitzer-gate with this shenanigans to come up with a really memorable episode.

@winniemc: I think she was fixing to do time in the next couple months. I don't think it was public opinion that was bothering her, I think it was anticipating the hoosegow.

@Buzz Killington: I thought she vowed never to kill herself, claiming to be made of different stuff than Brandy Britton.

You people are nuts. She'd been publicly threatening to kill herself for a while, especially when jailtime became a real possibility. Of course, to the conspiracy theorist, evidence which refutes the conspiracy only serves to reinforce the notion that it must exist.

You also give far too much credit to the competence of B-list washington politicians and bureaucrats by floating the notion that they could pull something like this off sucessfully. If anyone was even capable of having a whore whacked out of self interest, it would have been Spitzer, and of course he didn't. So why bother here?

ABC couldn't name the people on her list because it was too much for them and they didn't want the heat.
The powerful people on her list arranged this suicide.

That is so stupid. One more week--ten days, tops--and we would have forgotten all about that prostitution ring. Could've been business as usual. Hookers can be so short-sighted sometimes...

Hmm . . . The AP says that Deborah Palfrey employed one Brandy Britton, a former college professor whose financial dire straits led her into a career in prostitution, which abruptly ended with her arrest. Brandy's client list also included men in high power positions in the D.C. area. Guess what? She offed herself just before going to trial, too. Coinkidink???
