Must credit Big Head DC:
Big Head DC has independently confirmed that a phone number belonging to longtime ABC newsman Sam Donaldson appears within the escort records of Deborah Jeane Palfrey. Palfrey, who is better known as the “D.C. Madam,” owned the Washington-based Pamela Martin & Associates escort business for several years through 2006.
Palfrey has told Big Head DC that she has communicated with Donaldson via telephone on at least one occasion. Once when she talked to Donaldson, she says, he was immediately panicked and asked how she got his number. Other times he left messages on her voice mail. Donaldson has not returned repeated requests for comment.
Big Head DC has determined that several media organizations, including ABC News - the employer of Donaldson - have long been holding information that indicates Donaldson’s number was listed within the records of the alleged “DC Madam.”
ABC News interviewed Palfrey last spring, and failed to uncover several prominent names on her list, including that of Sen. David Vitter. Sources indicate that ABC may have been withholding some information at least in part because their researchers had long ago discovered the Donaldson connection.
When ABC News was researching Palfrey’s story in April and May, she says they told her that they had found two prominent news anchors’ numbers in her phone records.
Donaldson married his wife Janice C. Smith in 1983.

I always knew he was dirrrty.
Such a shame since Donaldson is so respected.
Great scoop!
is it on the list at vivzizi.com ?
I officially pity any sex worker or other human being who has to witness that man’s “O” face. Probably looks like Shemp when he’s bustin’ it.
Isn’t he as old as dirt? I mean, seriously, even if he called her awhile back he would have still been a senior citizen then. Sam Donaldson = Viagra user?
[…] I suppose that depends what the definition of “IT” is. In this case, I’m thinking “IT” means “SEX.” Sam Donaldson’s phone number has shown up on the DC Madam’s list of phone numbers. Oops! From Big Head DC: Big Head DC has independently confirmed that a phone number belonging to longtime ABC newsman Sam Donaldson appears within the escort records of Deborah Jeane Palfrey.

Great scoop! I hope the competing news organizations pick up on this and really give it to ABC, because they clearly covered up this story. I knew there was a reason they backpedaled on their would-be “tell-all” piece.
Thos two are a perfect fit. Palfrey has a pubic hair combover & on special occassions uses a merkin. I’m just sorry no one has a picture of Big Sam in his BDSM Dom leathers.
[…] It looks like Sam Donaldson may have been on Deborah Jeane Palfrey’s (AKA D.C. Madam) hot little phone list. […]

Leave Sam alone. He is a kind man and a good tipper. I formerly worked with the “DC Madam”, and it was great. Sam used to ask for me whenever he was in town. He hates his wife, and just needs to have sex sometimes. Is that wrong? Sam would pump me so hard sometimes that his toupee would fall off! So, he would ram me while holding his wig on with one hand! He also took loads of viagra, and when he orgasmed, he would squirt out at least a cup of semen.
Lulabelle - You fat lying whore…. You never worked for the DC Madam. You were on your own, working the corner of Gilmore and Madison streets. I know because I would hook up with you on friday nights after getting drunk. I would take you into the bushes just off the sidewalk, pull your dress up over your ugly fat head and do you. Your crotch smelled like infected pus, but I was horny and stuffed my meat log all the way inside and started pumping. You would kick your fat legs, moan, and fake an orgasm. I would blow my load in you, get up, and then shove a $5 bill in your greasy mouth. That is the truth.

Hi there, I work for Atlantic Media and I’m interested in doing a story on the Radar war with Big Head DC. Could someone please send me an email about this (I entered my email in the above blank.
Thanks for all the interest, folks. We stand by the story 100%. As I’ve already told DCRTV:
“I gave Radar three quotes yesterday regarding the Sam Donaldson story before they ran their misguided hit piece, but they chose not to run them, and instead said I didn’t return calls. My quotes still stand, and Big Head DC stands by our story.” He adds that his blog published the piece on Sunday, not Monday…..”
Also, I plan to clarify more once I hear back from Radar regarding their mistakes.
But Big Head DC is now a media outlet, too.
I want to know who is on that Palfrey list, Did the murdered intern, re: Gary Condit, work for Palfrey. That has been covered up, we have not heard anyhing about this woman. Palfrey has unleashed two Republicans, there are hundreds of 202 *s on that list, all Washington. Lets get this out. And Hillary and the lesbian thing, the buzz for years, lets get that out as well, it is imperitive, we must know if this is true or a lie, only fair!!
[…] on DC Madam’s List | Sully Likes Restoring Foreskin | Radar Attacks BHDC | Hillary Gay? Q & A On Sam Donaldson’s Digits Thursday November 15th, 2007 1:32 PM by BHDC Staff Filed under: Scandals,BHDC, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, Radar, ABC, Ronald Roughead, Sam Donaldson This well-reasoned question just came in from a person who is quite familiar with the Deborah Jeane Palfrey case, and its implications. Look, I understand this has all been unpleasant for you, but why do you and Mr. Cook insist on fixating on the salacious-side of this story? I mean, honestly, why not leave your desk, drive over to Alexandria, Va., and go talk to Ronald Roughead? While you’re at it, why not track down some leads on the people prosecuting Ms. Palfrey? In addition, you need to check on the SAIC connection and lobbying…oh, never mind. Ms. Palfrey stands behind my assertions that you guys wanted salaciousness and that when it didn’t pan-out with Donaldson, the problems began. Both you and Mr. Cook are a major disappointment, along with Larisa of Rawstory, Huffpo, and the rest of the media. All you’re doing is making a site that’s a copy of all the same problems the MSM currently embodies. Change the focus, and you might be doing something, otherwise, it’s just gossip. However, I was impressed with the Leola McConnell story, though I think she’s got a lot of proving to do with her story — if she’s still alive. […]

Lott Story Way Wrong Tuesday November 27th, 2007 12:45 AM by BHDC Staff Filed under: Journalism,Scandals, Arianna Huffington, Scoops, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, Larry Flynt, Trent Lott, Benjamin Nicholas, Max Follmer Max Follmer, a writer with the Huffington Post, is reporting that the alleged Sen. Trent Lott / Benjamin Nicholas affair never happened — and that there is no documenting information to support it. However, there is — as Nicholas, Big Head DC and Larry Flynt know. Indeed, the denial posts from Nicholas that Follmer mentions in his piece as appearing on Nicholas’ blog are simply not there. Big Head DC also stands completely by our previous story that ABC newsman Sam Donaldson’s number appears in the records of alleged “DC Madam,” and that the ABC network covered up that fact when it reported Palfrey’s story in May. […]
[…] Follmer then partially used that information to attempt to discredit Big Head DC, accusing us of “sloppy sleuthing.” His main argument on that point centers on a piece written by John Cook of Radar magazine who insists that our recent revelation about Sam Donaldson’s number appearing in the records of the alleged “DC Madam” Deborah Jeane Palfrey is somehow untrue. As with the Nicholas story, we stand by that story 100 percent. Radar may have desperately wanted us to publish the story with their outlet, but Big Head DC was under no obligation to do so. […]

Radar magazine and the Huffington Post have both falsely claimed that the Big Head DC story was somehow factually inaccurate. We have long claimed that the existence of Donaldson’s number in Palfrey’s records, combined with the existence of phone records of other network news personalities from the ABC network in the records, prevented ABC News from revealing a fuller report on the spectrum of politicos and others in Palfrey’s records when they released their exclusive interview with Palfrey in May of this year. In essence, there was a cover-up by ABC News. Palfrey has confirmed as much to Big Head DC. […]

[…]
[…] Why did a couple of notoriously fickle Radar workers (they wear a lot of hats) get mad after Big Head DC correctly reported that Sam Donaldson’s phone number appears multiple times in the “DC Madam’s” records? Was it because they falsely and foolishly thought that Big Head DC was obligated to share scoops with them since Big Head DC’s editor sometimes threw tidbits of juicy gossip their way? Or was it because they hadn’t developed the connections in D.C. necessary to procure the information themselves and then expected once Big Head DC’s editor spent hours gathering and researching information on his own that he was somehow betrothed to them? Or do they believe that Donaldson’s number just happened to get in those records by mistake, time after time, and that the story was a non-story, as, it seems, the Huffington Post believes (even though the Huffington Post falsely reports that a “single telephone call” took place)? And that ABC News didn’t try to cover up that mistake? ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… var staf_confirmtext = ‘Success!’ #stafBlock { position: absolute !important; z-index: 100000; display: none; width: 200px; } #stafForm { background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #c6c6c6; padding: 5px; margin:0; } #stafForm h2 { margin: 0; } #stafForm input, #stafForm label, #stafForm h2 { font-family: ‘Lucida Grande’, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-size: 1em; color: #222222; } #stafForm input { width: 90px; height: 15px; margin-top: 5px; border: 1px solid #ccc; } #stafForm label { float: left; display: block; width: 90px; line-height: 16px; } #stafClose { float: right; margin-right: 5px; } x […]
