Hilarious … 46lbs of phone records documenting the wealthy customers who have been retaining high class whores from Debbie Palfrey. My favorite quote from the article: “We hear `Washington madam’ and immediately think, `Her clients are all congressmen and Cabinet secretaries!’ But come on, you know it’s all going to be a bunch of developers’ sons and patent...

This server is used to conduct certain White House business, yet is directly controlled by the Republican National Committee.

Vincent Vega and Lance on Ethics
Lance: Still got your Malibu?
Vincent: Aw, man. You know what some fucker did the other day?
Lance: What?
Vincent: Fucking keyed it.
Lance: Oh, man, that's fucked up.
Vincent: Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some dickless piece of shit fucked with it.
Lance: They should be fucking killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.
Vincent: Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that asshole doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it.
Lance: What a fucker!
Vincent: What's more chickenshit than fucking with a man's automobile? I mean, don't fuck with another man's vehicle.
Lance: You don't do it.
Vincent: It's just against the rules.
