Bush official linked to DC Madam takes a new job.
Former Deputy Secretary of State Randall L. Tobias resigned his position last year after revelations surfaced that he had been a client of the infamous “DC Madam” escort service. The Blotter reports today that the Indiana native has found a new job: head of the Indianapolis Airport Authority. Indianapolis mayor Greg Ballard, who hired Tobias, said that Tobias’s adventures with the escort service were “damn near irrelevant to the position.”

January 29th, 2008 at 4:24 pmAnd on a positive note , Larry Craig is said to have been spotted booking an immediate flight to Indianapolis Airport , saying he needed to use their rest room……….
Now he can go thru womens clothes at the airport.
January 29th, 2008 at 4:24 pm… and which position would that be, hmmmm?
Actually, we’ll be a much happier society when we all give up the idea that we have any business poking about in eachothers sex lives univited.
Our Pilgrim heritage wasn’t all happy Turkey dinners and banquets, despite what we learned in kindergarten. The Brittish have a much different historical perspective on Puritans.
January 29th, 2008 at 4:30 pmGreg Ballard, who hired Tobias, said that Tobias’s adventures with the escort service were “damn near irrelevant to the position.â€
Where his right-wing neoCON connections are relevant to the position.
January 29th, 2008 at 4:31 pmBut But But Airports Have Stalls and Sex and Stuff.
January 29th, 2008 at 4:31 pmRandall Tobias is nothing more than a well-connected, pro-business, hypocritical prick.
January 29th, 2008 at 4:39 pmhooker flights out of indianapolis? i am going to have to reroute my layovers (no pun) through there in the future.
January 29th, 2008 at 4:40 pmThe Blotter reports today that the Indiana native has found a new job: head of the Indianapolis Airport Authority.
He’ll be policing the stalls for when Sen. Craig passes through….
Cheers,
January 29th, 2008 at 4:40 pmGotta love neocon welfare!
January 29th, 2008 at 4:41 pmIndianapolis mayor Greg Ballard: Plus, he’s already in the mile high club! I took him there and initiated him myself!
January 29th, 2008 at 4:41 pmDepends of what position related to the Escort service they are talking about.
January 29th, 2008 at 4:44 pmWe have short attention spans here in America. Now what were we talking about?
January 29th, 2008 at 4:46 pmjust say no to airports.
January 29th, 2008 at 4:47 pmTime for the people of Indiana to make their voices heard and protest his position. If these people are followed everywhere and hounded like they should be, then America can get vindication!
January 29th, 2008 at 4:58 pm“damn near irrelevant to the position.â€
describes so many in the dumbya administration.
January 29th, 2008 at 5:01 pmI just always hope the so-called values voters are watching how the Republicans talk out of both sides of their mouths. On the one hand they give lip service to promoting the value of families and marriage. On the other hand they turn a blind eye when one of their own breaks his marriage vows and the law by availing himself of the services of a prostitute.
January 29th, 2008 at 5:02 pmWhere is Drywall? Why isn’t he preaching hate about this sinner? oh, this one is a republican’t.
January 29th, 2008 at 5:10 pm“Values voters” are too stupid, and in too much denial to detect how they are being taken for a ride.
January 29th, 2008 at 5:19 pmI’m sure the voters of the most conservative city of the top 15 in the US won’t mind a blasphemer and a fornicator in their city administration. Good move, Ballard. Say goodbye to your career.
January 29th, 2008 at 5:19 pmIs his office in a Bathroom stall? Or maybe a closet, a wide stance closet?
Just more of those ChristoFascist Family Values on show for all to see.

January 29th, 2008 at 5:24 pmAnd there was no one else qualified for the job, right?
January 29th, 2008 at 6:10 pm“Ph*cking hookers isn’t a part of the job”
I’m gonna save that one.
January 29th, 2008 at 6:20 pmI wonder whatever happened to that pesky D.C. Madam report and similar questions in the New Orleans area, also the long promised Larry Flynt revelations.
Inquiring minds want to know.
January 29th, 2008 at 6:36 pmWhy do you act shocked thinkprogress?
They all do it
January 29th, 2008 at 7:05 pmBush official linked to DC Madam takes a new job
A hand one, I suppose.
January 29th, 2008 at 7:11 pmThe joke is on Tobias. Indianapolis has no airport. And no need for one.
January 29th, 2008 at 7:42 pmBut, how does frequenting hookers enhance his qualifications for this position?
