Push the Hot Button

I will do my level best to avoid sophomoric double entendres in discussing the latest D.C. scandal. Seems there is this escort service that has been charged with doing more than escorting. The operator of this business denies that it is a prostitution ring. She has sent a client list to ABC News in the hopes that prosecutors will back off.

So far, there is one noteworthy victim, Deputy Secretary of State Randall Tobias, who has denied that he got anything more than a massage.

Should ABC start naming names? Will this tactic work? Or, does this whole saga just rub you the wrong way?

A Matter of Opinion is really a matter of three opinions – those held by the people responsible for the opinion pages of The Spokesman-Review. Check in regularly to find out what they’re up to, what they think and where they differ and to joust with them if you want.
