"The point [of the book] is to show the hypocrisy of our democracy." 

Janet Maier, the madam of the Canal Street brothel, had an interview on WDSU channel 6 yesterday. Responding to threats to keep quiet, she's now fighting back with a book that will name names and discuss the predilections of her clients which include professional athletes, wealthy businessmen and politicians.

Good for her.

She helped these guys out for years, taking all the legal risk, and when she gets pinched none of these local power figures will assist her. Screw'em, ...er, I mean, name 'em. Especially the politicos who liked to wear the frilly women's lingerie, and then give speeches about values. (Not a reference to any particular Senator-elects... but if the corset fits...)

(Video clip of the story here, scroll down to "Inside the Canal Street brothel".)
