DC Madame

I have issues with the whole "abstinence or nothing" policy of the Bush government, so this story just makes me squeal with glee. Deputy Secretary of State Randall Tobias resigned on April 27 (last friday) because he's been having a little fun with Madame Jeane Palfrey and her girls. This is the guy who directs all of our foreign aid programs. The programs that say recipients have to sign on to an abstinence only program in order to get treatments for HIV/AIDS, among other diseases. But this guy gets "massages." Hm. Kind of like my old roommate was a masseuse?

Here's the story on Slate.com: http://www.slate.com/id/2165259/nav/tap2/
