Ever since the Mark Foley scandal, Ross seems like he belongs at The National Enquirer or maybe working as a producer for Jerry Springer.
Ross has gone all Madam, all the time.
ABC has been teasing the D.C. Madam story for what seems like forever.
As it turns out, ABC withdrew its promise to expose the exploits of D.C. movers and shakers. The network pulled out at the last minute.
Why?
Because the scandal that was going to rock D.C. was unable to deliver.
I bet Ross hates it when that happens.
From The Independent:
There was an almost audible sigh of relief in parts of America's capital this weekend after a TV network said it would not reveal the identities of scores of clients of the alleged "DC madam" because they were not well enough known to be "newsworthy".
ABC News said that, having ploughed through 46lbs of phone records, it had discovered that among the clients of Deborah Palfrey's alleged prostitution ring were senior business executives, Nasa officials and at least five military officers. And among the women working for Ms Palfrey - who ran the network in Washington DC from her home in California - were an instructor at the US Naval Academy and a legal secretary at a prominent law firm. The secretary was suspended after telling her bosses she worked for Ms Palfrey "for spa money".
Ms Palfrey, 51, faces federal charges of racketeering and money-laundering associated with prostitution. She claims she offered only "fantasy sex" and she was not breaking the law.
The only government official known to have been a client was Randall Tobias, at the State Department. He resigned after being confronted by ABC.
Another client named was Harlan Ullman, a columnist for the Washington Times and a senior adviser at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank.
ABC describes its report as "dull."
Much ado about nothing.
What a disappointment!
