Yeas&Neas, DC Examiner - You'll recall that D.C. Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey mentioned last year that she was mulling over a tell-all tome on her escort business and the government case that brought it down. But, following Palfrey's suicide in May, the status of the madam's memoirs is up in the air.
"She left me 150 pages," said former Palfrey attorney Blair Montgomery Sibley. "I am pulling that together with 2,700 e-mails that I have between Jeane and I to attempt a cogent narrative of the events that led up to her unfortunate demise.
"She also left me a substantial amount of recorded material that will supplement the written information," Sibley told Yeas & Nays. "We are still in the process of transcribing all of that.
Of course, many Washingtonians still wonder: Were there any famous clients of Palfrey whose names have yet to be leaked? "I cannot answer that question at this time," Sibley said. "There are reams of stuff nobody knows but me at this point in time."
We shouldn't expect a Sibley suicide. He's a lawyer. He'll give it all up to whichever of Palfrey's clients offers him the most money and we'll never have a clue what's in it.

When can we expect Sibley's 'suicide'?
