What's More Fun Than A Dead Hooker?

Answer: A live one in the Bush Administration.
Randall L. Tobias, the deputy secretary of state responsible for U.S. foreign aid, abruptly resigned yesterday after he was asked about an upscale escort service allegedly involved in prostitution, U.S. government sources said.
Tobias resigned after ABC News contacted him with questions about the escort service, the sources said. ABC News released a statement last night saying Tobias acknowledged Thursday that he had used the service to provide massages, not sex.
These are just run of the mill escorts right? Seriously, what's so bad about that? I mean, what kind of services are they providing?
Palfrey has contended that her escort service provided clients with college-educated women who engaged in legal, sexual game-playing for $275 per 90-minute session in their homes or hotel rooms. Prosecutors allege she ran a prostitution ring.
Oh my!
Palfrey's attorney, Montgomery Blair Sibley, said yesterday that he has been contacted in the past few days by five lawyers asking whether their client's phone numbers are on Palfrey's list of 10,000 to 15,000 customers from 2002 to 2006. Some have also asked about whether an accommodation can be made to avoid identifying their clients, which Sibley said he is not able to promise. ABC's "20/20" is mining that database of phone numbers, Sibley said, for a news report on the more notable of Palfrey's customers.
"I presume '20/20' crews running around with cameras has led to this flurry of activity," Sibley said. "That may cause some people to worry."
Yea, 20/20 crews crawlin' all over your dirty laundry has a tendency to complicate matters. Can't wait for 20/20 next Friday - just can't wait!
This one is a huge name to fall for Condi. I'm curious how long Condi knew about Tobias' extracurriculars and how many other folks at State were using Palfrey's "escorts".
UPDATE: More info on Palfrey.

“functioned as a high-end adult fantasy firm which offered legal sexual and erotic services ACROSS THE SPECTRUM OF ADULT SEXUAL BEHAVIOR”
as ted haggard showed, that's a hell of a wide spectrum.

Naugle, I'm doin' my best not censoring your ass here.
You're gonna need to be a little more subtle. For example - "Not all GOPers are deviant sex machines, just the ones in power. Condi better get checked out."

Should we go down that road?
