Claims to fame: Former CEO, AT&T International; former CEO, Eli Lilly; member, numerous corporate boards; major contributor to Republican candidates and PACs; former U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator under George W. Bush; former (and first) first U.S. Director of Foreign Assistance; former Administrator/Ambassador, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID); john; adulterer; hypocrite to the nth degree
Moral apex: As Bush’s AIDS Czar, supported abstinence-only, no-condom U.S. policy that specifically prohibits foreign aid to organizations that help prostitutes…
Punch line: …while he was patronizing prostitutes.
Tobias’s name showed up on the phone list of the “D.C. Madam” Deborah Jeane Palfrey, who ran an “erotic fantasy service” that didn’t offer sex. (Also: The world is flat.)
Memorable observation:
I think it is somewhat ironic and hypocritical that he would patronize an escort service while he was denying funding to organizations who want to help prostitutes, and supporting a policy that obviously forbids fraternizing with prostitutes.— Jodi Jacobson, executive director

Suggested Bible reading for Mr. Tobias:
For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
— Job 15:5-6
