Sad….

“Deputy Secretary of State Randall L. Tobias submitted his resignation Friday, one day after confirming to ABC News that 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, 65, director of U.S. Foreign Assistance and administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), had previously served as the ambassador for the President’s Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief.

A State Department press release late Friday afternoon said only he was leaving for “personal reasons.”

On Thursday, Tobias told ABC News he had several times called the “Pamela Martin and Associates” escort service “to have gals come over to the condo to give me a massage.” Tobias, who is married, said there had been “no sex,” and that recently he had been using another service “with Central Americans” to provide massages.

Tobias’ private cell number was among thousands of numbers listed in the telephone records provided to ABC News by Jeane Palfrey, the woman dubbed the “D.C. Madam,” who is facing the federal charges. In an interview to be broadcast on “20/20″ next Friday, Palfrey says she intends to call Tobias and a number of her other prominent D.C. clients to testify at her trial.”

The Blotter has become the Inside Edition and must have several connect moles inside. First it was Foley, whom after they got the goods, contacted him and he resigned. Now Tobias.

Being that Palfrey is being actively investigated, ABC once again may in legal jepardy if they continue to name potential witness (ex-playas). You may just see a federal jugde throw down a “gag” order.

Yet I wonder who else’s name IN WASHINGTON is in a hookers appointment book. I’m going to personally guarantee that it’s not even close to being all Republicans.

But is this what Washington has come to now, exposing the obvious?

Meanwhile, the enemies of the US plan our demise. Can anyone say “Fiddling while Rome Burned”?
