This story has been bubbling under for a while now, but it looks like it could be getting a little more play:

ABC News? Brian Ross revealed tonight that the list of customers of an alleged Washington-based prostitution service includes White House and Pentagon officials as well as prominent attorneys.

?There are thousands of names, tens of thousands of phone numbers,? Ross said. ?And there are people there at the Pentagon, lobbyists, others at the White House, prominent lawyers ? a long, long list.? Ross added that the women who worked for the service, potentially as prostitutes, ?include university professors, legal secretaries, scientists, military officers.?

On Friday, Ross broke the news that U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Randall Tobias had frequented the escort service. Ross added new details to that story tonight, recounting how he asked Tobias in a telephone interview ?if he knew any of the young women, their names. He said he didn?t remember them at all. He said it was like ordering pizza.? Under President Bush, Tobias oversaw a program helping men in poor countries ?develop healthy relationships with women.?

I guess it was only a matter of time before a sex scandal got added to the list of scandals. Grab the popcorn - watching pious, family values, christian types get busted banging hookers is entertainment at its best. Or maybe even (God willing ;) ) a few Regent Grad's making extra money on the side :rofl:

(Clarification: I have nothing against hookers or hooking, in fact, I would consider myself "pro-hooker". :D But don't be preaching about the sins of gay marriage, preserving the American family and piously praying to jesus with your wife and kids on a Sunday, while nailing hookers in your lunch hour. Not to mention the National Security issues of blackmail, etc.)

I mentioned that months ago. Where have you been? ABC has had this for awhile.

Prediction - it involves both Republicans and Democrats. You will hear about the Republicans first.

Follow the money.

Edit add -

I wonder if Hillary is on the list?

As for follow the money -

Saddam's Cash
From the May 5, 2003 issue: And the journalists and politicians he bought with it.

by Stephen F. Hayes
05/05/2003, Volume 008, Issue 33

. . . Saddam Hussein has a long history of bribing anyone who could help his regime--businessmen, diplomats, politicians, and journalists. Throughout the Iran-Iraq war, which lasted from 1980 to 1988, Saddam lavished Arab leaders with gifts and contracts in exchange for their support. Shortly before his 1990 invasion of Kuwait, he shipped 100 new Mercedes 200 Series cars to top editors in Egypt and Jordan. Two days before the first attack, he offered Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak $50 million in cash, ostensibly for grain. After the invasion, he sought to buy neutrality or at least complacency by promising Mubarak and other Arab leaders that he would forgive all Kuwaiti debts once Iraq annexed the tiny nation as its nineteenth province.

As the Galloway affair makes clear, these practices continued throughout the 1990s, despite the increased scrutiny of Iraq's financial dealings by the United Nations. Before the recent conflict, says Tareq al-Mezrem from the Kuwaiti Information Office, the Iraqi regime gave journalists luxury "villas in Jordan, Tunisia, and even Lebanon."

Some of the transactions were straightforward cash payments, often in U.S. dollars, handed out from Iraqi embassies in Arab capitals--luxury cars delivered to top editors, Toyotas for less influential journalists. "This was not secret," says Salama Nimat, a Jordanian journalist who was jailed briefly in 1995 in that nation for highlighting the corruption. "Most of it was done out in the open." . . .​


This is the list I would like to see.

I have been here, just trying to wade through all the long winded fact deprived freeper cut 'n paste bullshit you post, is work indeed. Sorry I missed it. And, of course it will involve both dems and repubs, most likely more repubs though, because who are the god fearing family values crowd? And you know those are the ones who are the sleaziest, sexually deviant fuckers on the planet. hehe, how did I know you would try and involve a Clinton in this? Because you always do when there is no argument to be made to defend your beloved neocon hippocrates. You are going to need therapy when this is all over, maybe you can get the quick 2 week therapy like haggard and save yourself some time.

Being "pro hooker" is sort of like saying that you know nothing about the subject, but you're going to stick your foot in your mouth anyway.

Or like saying, "Hey, I think slavery is good!"
Or "Child labor? Sweet!"
Or "I like the fact that drugs destroy families and the foundation of world societies; in fact, I support legalizing all drugs!"

As far as politicians go... I thought character didn't matter, so what's the big deal right?

I know a little bit about the subject of hookers, in that I have solicited their services in a number of different countries, but you being a religous evangelical type, you more than likely know a lot more about the subject than I do. Except gay hookers are not my thing, that's all you. Let me draw you a picture, by pro-hooker I mean I do not believe prostitution should be illegal. Just to answer the rest of your unrelated questions, i support the legalization of drugs, but not slavery or child labor. Grab another straw man, would you?

Oh, character matters. Looking at our present administration should make that perfectly clear.

Last Friday - it's always Friday afternoons with the bad news/possible scandal bits - Randall Tobias, the Bush administration's senior foreign aid coordinator, resigned after revealing 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 was the director of U.S. Foreign Assistance and administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). He said that on several occasions he called the escort service "'to have gals come over to the condo to give me a massage." Yeah, right...a "massage". Call it what you want. Tobias, who is married, said there had been no sex.

Interviewed by phone, ABC News's Brian Ross asked Tobias whether he knew any of the young women or their names. Tobias said he didn't remember them at all. He said "it was like ordering pizza."

Tobias had been a strong proponent of the Bush administration's abstinence-only policies.

How do you spell "hypocrite"??

What, can't wait for ABC? They want to milk this for all the money they can! You know, 10,000 names is a long list to compile. Especially when some of those on the list probably work for ABC. :rofl:


So, do you think they should release all the names or just a few?

No list ABC?

So I guess Rove and Cheney weren't on the list?

Probably too many Democrats, LSM journalist and ABC executives. :rofl:

No list due to the high amount of repubs, evangelicals, bush admin officials more likely. ABC is Disney after all.
