D.C. Madam Scandal -- Fizzle or Coverup?

From the Center for American Progress:

"There are thousands of names, tens of thousands of phone numbers, and there are people there at the Pentagon, lobbyists, others at the White House, prominent lawyers -- a long, long list."
—ABC correspondent Brian Ross, 4/28/07, reporting on the D.C. Madam list

VERSUS

"As usually is the case in Washington, much of it is dull. There are no members of Congress we can find in these phone numbers, no White House officials. Quite frankly, but for the few exceptions, most of the men on this list just aren't newsworthy."
—Ross, 5/4/07
