Our breaking news from Nathans Restaurant Q&A with the “DC Madam” this afternoon: Montgomery Blair Sibley, the civil lawyer for Deborah Jeane Palfrey, told a packed house that he could not confirm, nor deny, that Dick Cheney’s phone numbers from when he was the CEO of Halliburton are included in Palfrey’s 10,000 escort service records.

Palfrey also spoke a few times in a sweet, whispery voice, noting that she prefers the call-name “Washington Madam” over “DC Madam.” It’s apparently more dignified.

So noted.
