Why the Lies Mattered

It doesn't bug me that Randall Tobias hired prostitutes. I mean good for him. He wasn't accosting women on the street. But it matters because he was appointed by the Head Liar as Director Overseeing Aids Funds.


And see, to get any funds from America you had to do 2 new things the Bush Administration put into place. (And I quote from the Washington Post). "He previously held a top job in the Bush administration overseeing AIDS relief, in which he promoted abstinence and a policy requiring grant recipients to swear they oppose prostitution."

You see if a country talked about using condoms to save lives, we wouldn't give them money. It prostitution was legal, even if regulated, checked for safety and required condom use, no AIDS relief funds.

So yeah, the fact that Randall Tobias was the poster child of a holier than thou administration matters. It just makes America look like buffoons. Who gave these people keys to the cookie jar. They are not nice people.
