Countdown to Madam-Gate

In just under two weeks, ABC will most likely be reporting on who paid for services provided by the "DC Madam".  The list isn't even out, and already we learn of one official resigning.

The question everyone is asking is 1) who is involved and 2) is it one of "our guys".  This could be one of the biggest scandals in history to unfold, or it could be limited to just a few low profile officials.  ABC is being tight-lipped about what types of people will show up on the list - so it is anyones guess.

Will the list contain who's-who from both business and government?  Will it change the balance of power?  Will it involve anyone we are close to?

I think everyone is on pins and needles as we watch this unfold.  The only thing I can say with certainty is that "I am not on the list".  I wonder how many politicians cannot make that claim.

Also, who really believes that the girls "just give massages".  I suspect that many of these girls are from foreign countries - were brought here under forced conditions - and believed the sex trade to be their only way to survive.  It impacts the most vulnerable in our society.  Shame on these high-powered men for exploiting and abusing women like this.
