Just when you think it couldn't get any worse, it does. Have Republicans no shame? I have no further comment, I just shake my head...

From Yahoo!

Randall Tobias, head of the Bush administration's foreign aid programs, abruptly resigned Friday after his name surfaced in an investigation into a high-priced call-girl ring, said two people in a position to know the circumstances of his departure.

It was Tobias' own decision to resign, according to one of the people, who said the issue came up only in the past day or so. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation is still under way.

Tobias submitted his resignation a day after he was interviewed by ABC News for an upcoming program about an alleged prostitution service run by the so-called D.C. Madam.

ABC reported on its Web site late Friday that Tobias confirmed that he had called the Pamela Martin and Associates escort service to have women come to his condo and give him massages. More recently, Tobias told the network, he has been using a service with Central American women.

Update from the Irony Dept.: A number of you have pointed out that Tobias was the "AIDS czar" for the Bush misadministration.

As of 11.30 PM, this was my first rec diary (and the #1 diary), which is kinda sad considering the topic and the fact that there are so many here who are greater writers than I - thanks, everyone! I am truly shocked and humbled by this blogswarm. Kossacks are the greatest!
