2. They've been used to doing business that way with Repugs, I guess they

4. Remember the DC Madam? She published the list of her clients telephone numbers..
Investigators could only match one or two numbers (like Vitter). As for the rest, private listings and "no longer in service".

Guess who can lookup those old or private numbers. :think:
