This is one time when Tobias probably should NOT have "Put the moose on the table." (As in, is that a moose, or are you just glad to see me?)

Anon 10:24, thanks for the notice of Tobias giving the commencement speech at the IU Law School next month. My god, someone needs to begin a protest. It would be outgrageous for this to happen!

I just read that Tobias will be awarded the Medal of Freedom by the President in a Rose Garden ceremony next month.

Former U.S. AID director Randall Tobias, who resigned yesterday upon admitting that he frequented a Washington escort service, oversaw a controversial policy advocated by the religious right that required any US-based group receiving anti-AIDS funds to take an anti-prostitution “loyalty oath.” Aid groups bitterly opposed the policy, charging that it “was so broad — and applied even to their private funds — that it would obstruct their outreach to sex workers who are at high risk of transmitting the AIDS virus.” But President Bush wouldn’t budge. He signed a 2003 National Security Presidential Directive saying prostitution “and related activities” were “inherently harmful and dehumanizing.”

Randal Tobias is part of a right wing administration which at every turn attacks gays and lesbians as immoral and worse.

Tobias' mismanagement of the AIDS funding Bush promised was immoral -- it was not 'exemplary'.

Tobias' disparaging statements about condoms as an effective tool to help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and other STD's was immoral -- it was not 'exemplary'.

Tobias has most likely exposed, or possibly even already infected, his wife with any number of sexually transmitted diseases -- including AIDS. That's not exemplary behavior, it's immoral behavior.

What an outrage for "vonnegut lives!" to post such a stupid post under Vonnegut's name. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Tobias is an immoral, arrogant, selfish bureaucrat so typical of the Republican Party and it's culture of corruption, graft and immorality.

God help us if this country does not turn out these people in 2008

Once again, the Republicans have to lie and fabricate history to suit their feeble ends. The actual quote is: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinsky".

Lawyers, as opposed to GOP slanderers, know the difference. "Sexual relations" is legally narrowly defined as penile/vaginal penetration (fucking). Nobody claims Bill was actually screwing Monica, they were just "fooling around". President Clinton, a lawyer, was quite accurate in his statement - misleading to the ignorant layperson perhaps, but not perjurious.

But since when is accuracy, truth and honesty ever a part of the desperate Republican playbook?

There only two things that endlessly enthrall and fascinate white Republicans: peashakes and Bill Clinton's penis ... kinda odd, isn't it?

"I did NOT have sex with that woman!!!".

I sure hope Mrs.Tobias will be as understanding as Mrs.Clinton.

This is an absolute hoot!

2007-04-28T09:49:00.000-05:00

Sadly, Randy Tobias exposed himself and America to possible blackmail from foreign entities opposed to U.S. Government policies. Really, really risky! High-ranking officers involved with foreign affairs should not be out getting 'strange'!

The hypocrisy of an adulterous man with a multi-billion dollar budget pushing abstinence and marital-fathfulness is glaringly obvious. Have the loyal Bushies no shame?

Can we assume Tobias was still getting unlimited free samples of Indiana's own Eli Lilly Cialis?

Sad personal tragedies always have innocent victims.

Mrs. Tobias is one in this case.

His personal pecadillos notwithstanding, it appears he used no public money or office space for this endeavour. And, his service was exemplary otherwise.

Retire well, Randy. Obscurity fits you.

Let us hope that he practiced safe sex, setting the example for us all.

So the former "AIDS czar" rings up the local whore-to-your-door to get "massages". . . who would have imagined it!
