Restoring Honesty and Integrity In Government

A Bush Admin official just resigned because he was implicated in a prostitution ring. Yes, I know, it's hard to tell just who's a prostitute in DC, but still.

COMMENT FROM CLIFF: It gets worse. Once again, these jokes just write themselves:

Deputy Secretary of State Randall L. Tobias submitted his resignation Friday, one day after confirming to ABC News that he had been a customer of a Washington, D.C. escort service whose owner has been charged by federal prosecutors with running a prostitution operation. Tobias, 65, Director of U.S. Foreign Assistance and administrator of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), had previously served as the Ambassador for the President's Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief...

As the Bush administration's so-called "AIDS czar," Tobias was criticized for emphasizing faithfulness and abstinence over condom use to prevent the spread of AIDS.

Let me break this down in simple language. The Bush Administration guy who was recklessly pushing abstinence and "faith" to prevent AIDS, was fornicating with whores. He was married. This is your Republican government in action.

Although, in his defense, I guess calling out God's name numerous times might qualify as an act of faith.
