The State Department: Where the Rubber Meets the Toad

null
Original DVD cover.

From ABC News:

Randall L. Tobias, a deputy secretary of state, tendered his resignation after ABC (After Being Caught?) News called with questions about an escort service allegedly involved in prostitution. Tobias was tasked with leading the African HIV/AIDS effort and promoted abstinence and faithfulness (can you say irony?). Tobias was uniquely qualified to carry out his duties, because he and his wife donated over 100,000 bucks to Republican candidates.
When queried about the escort service, Tobias insisted that there was no sex involved, just massages. It is not known if the ladies from the escort service rubbed him the wrong way.
The so-called D. C. Madam who ran the escort service, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, maintains that her service was legal and merely a sexual fantasy business. She said that if any of the women working for her had sex with clients, she was unaware of it (hey! she could be Attorney General!!).

    Good morning nonnie9999,

    What most disturbs me, about this mess, is that these guys are running the government but, they have to pay someone to talk to them? I used to work in a government office and I can tell you that there are plenty of “hard workin’ folks”, willing to listen to and even laugh loud at any dumbass thing any boss says. Why pay a sex whore to do what any civil service whore will do for free? No wonder the National Debt is so high.

    Hello Nonnie!! 🙂

    From the ABC News website:

    Also on Palfrey’s list of customers who could be potential witnesses are a Bush administration economist, the head of a conservative think tank, a prominent CEO, several lobbyists and a handful of military officials.

    “I’m sure as heck not going to be going to federal prison for one day, let alone, four to eight years, because I’m shy about bringing in the deputy secretary of whatever,” Palfrey told ABC News correspondent Brian Ross in an interview to be broadcast Friday on “20/20.” “I’ll bring in every last one of them in if necessary,” she said.

    I think this is a fun story.
    I love that ol ‘ “Abstinence Only” carries his KY jelly in his gun holster 🙂

    yayyy!! someone noticed the k-y jelly! i stuck a few jokes in there and wondered who would catch them. if you look very closely, there is an unrolled condom in the pocket under the rnc elephant, and the blue emblem on his hat is really a viagra tablet.
    i get the feeling this story is going to be almost as much fun as gonzogate! oooh!! it al fredo shows up on the client list, i think i will go mad with happiness!!
