WHAT: wsRadio.com, an Internet Talk Radio Network headquartered in San Diego, California, announces decision to conclude a private sale or to auction SIX HOURS of exclusive radio interviews with Jeane Palfrey, aka "the D.C. Madam" on eBay. Originally, there were FIVE hours but Jeane Palfrey recorded AN ADDITIONAL HOUR-LONG interview as a result of ABC NEWS’ failure last Friday to reveal important details, names, and dates from the information she provided them.

New excerpts from most recent one-hour interview to be released to attending media.

WHO: "If we get the right offer from the right company we may not proceed with the eBay listing, although I personally would like to see what eBay, the world’s online marketing place will bring," said wsRadio’s Chris Murch. Any interested parties should contact our VP, Director of Sales and Marketing Jack Warren at 858-623-0199 ext 105 or Jack@wsRadio.com.

On MONDAY, Palfrey released MORE PHONE LISTS to an independent journalist organization. These lists, covering the “Clinton years” of 1997 – 1999, have been given to the Washington Independent Writers Association in Washington DC. They began their investigation of the numbers and names today.

NOTE: wsRadio has an exclusive contract with Ms. Palfrey to "Tell Her Side of the Story." The show is hosted by radio veteran Lee Mirabal of wsRadio.com. "This is Jeane Palfrey’s story … in her own words … without the subjective editing and exploitation by media outlets, government agencies and more." The content is riveting, as Palfrey describes details of her business, the women who worked for her and the high profile beltway clientele who used the service. wsRadio produces over 80 custom business, health, hobby and special interest shows. The network uses traditional radio formatting including commercial breaks, broadcasting to a global audience on the Internet. All shows broadcast live via the Internet and are then archived for listening on demand, 24/7.

Lawyer charged with strip club murder; Charlotte mulls six foot law

Now here’s an example where the six foot law wouldn’t have helped.  Here’s how it allegedly went down: Guy goes to club, pays for an outrageously-priced lap dance in the champagne room.  Girl goes in to tell him it’s going to be a couple minutes (prettying herself up for him, I’d imagine) and finds him naked in the champagne room.  I guess nobody told him, "NO SEX IN THE CHAMPAGNE ROOM."  So he gets thrown out, and apparently he was drinking during the day and at the club, so he’s a little bit "lit."  He pulls up to the front door awning in his car and fires a shot at the door.  Unfortunately said shot nails club manager in the back of the head.  Surveillance camera shows the license plate, they track it down and it supposedly belongs to this lawyer.  So they bust into his place, and he points a gun at the officers.  Not a good day, I’d say.

Interesting FlipFlop on the DC Madam Story…

We were all SO looking forward to the juicy tidbits of the DC Madam naming names.  But as John Amato points out on Crooks and Liars, the media changed their mind as to whether high-profile names were involved.  Aren’t you the slightest bit curious?  How does such a strong tease become "nothing to see here, move on…" in just a week?  Were they threatened?  God I hope so, and I hope it leaks.  It always leaks.
