The Akin Gump Escort: A Dissenting Opinion

Akin Gump 2 Akin Gump Strauss Hauer Feld Deborah Jeane Palfrey DC Madam Above the Law blog.JPGIn an earlier post about the legal secretary at Akin Gump who worked for the alleged D.C. madam, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, we described the secretary as "no Miss Popularity." A source at the firm told us that "[m]ost people don't like her," due to her supercilious attitude. Various commenters echoed these views.

But a different source has more positive things to say about the Akin Gump Escort:

She was a secretary (never a paralegal) to partner John Dowd (attorney/author behind the Pete Rose gambling investigation and Rose's subsequent ban from baseball and the HoF).

[Ed. note: We previously pointed out that fact, as well as the coincidence that Dowd is now representing the fabulous Monica Goodling, back in this post.]

She was a moderately friendly, attractive woman, late 20s/early 30s, with dark blonde hair. I think she lived on a farm in southern Maryland and liked horses.

First, of course she lives in Maryland. Do you think the Akin Gump Escort would be a Virginia gal?

Second, a weakness for horses -- how clichéd. Does she enjoy long walks on the beach too?

I don't know about horses, but I heard she really loved "cow girl."

Go Ron Go!!!

Short on material today, Lat?

Thanks for the insight grandpa.

She was billing time as a paralegal at the firm. I guess she billed her time elsewhere too.

Maybe the other secretaries did not like her, but she was held in high regard by the attorneys at the firm (spare the jokes, this is a very unfortunate story).

Clients loved her too. Just ask Doug Jemal. Anyone remember a stunning hard drinking blonde hanging close to him for a while at his local watering hole? My question is whether that time was on the clock or if she just likes doing old rich guys for sport.

Song of Deborah


...They chose new gods; then was war in the gates.. Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song.. the LORD made you have dominion over the mighty... Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of justice against the mighty... Have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two? So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD.. And the land rest forty years. Judges 5.

Deborah Palfrey deserves the Pemberton Award for Clean Governance.
Palfrey list is like the Black Book of 1918.
That Trial of the century is deleted from all books.
The list there had 47000 names.
The list here has 46000 phone bills.
The listed are not womenizers, machos or ordinary sinners.
They are power brokers, gay lutheran shock and awe blitzkrieg agitators of all wars and all panics.
These wretches are one dirty cover to the real pimps deep undercover.
A curse on the kingpins, Justice Charles Darling then and Judge Adolph Limbough Kessler now.
