Quote of the Day
"I think that Vogue is always on the lookout for good-looking first ladies because they're a combination of power and beauty and elegance. That's what Vogue is about. And here was this woman who had never given an interview, who was extremely thin and very well-dressed and therefore, qualified to be in Vogue." -- Joan Juliet Buck

Napolitano responded that investigators are trying to determine whether the situation in Colombia "was an aberration or not."
.
She said Secret Service members are schooled in proper conduct through training and supervision. But she added that the agency is "looking at the standards, the training, the supervision, to see what, if anything, needs to be tightened up because, again, we don’t want this to be repeated."
.
"Over the past 2 { years, the Secret Service Office of Professional Responsibility has not recorded any such complaint," Napolitano testified. "Over that period the Secret Service has provided protection to over 900 foreign trips and over 13,000 domestic trips."
No complaints?? Hookers on foreign trips?? Professional Responsibility??
How can Napolintano be so naive and still be head of Homeland Security? This isn't the first time she put her foot in her mouth.
There were no complaints to the Office of Professional Responsibility because , Fill in the ***blank***.
1) All the other hookers in the other foreign countries were cheaper.
2) Nobody that is knowingly doing something they are not suppose to do files complaints. Duh!
3) The agents had no complaint with their service.
4) Before the Government clamped down on spending, the hooker per diem covered 100% of the cost.
Guys, it goes way past Columbia and El Salvidor. They should check out the home towns were the agents involved live!
5) Because the supervisors
5) Because the supervisors were supplying the outsourced "services" and gave the appearance of approval. No need to complain about the "Professional Services". Would you want to be the person that rocks the boat by complaining? Make the service look bad?

As the American public continues to learn details of the Secret Service scandal -- and you can bet the coverage will not soon die down -- Obama has an opportunity to turn this scandal to everyone's advantage.

Don't apologize. Instead, make up for America's failings by changing course. Increase a push for trade so that the U.S. and Latin America can benefit from stronger economic ties and building a hemispheric bloc that makes North and South, together, stronger on the global stage. It will help both sides, and it will also help on Election Day.
Ghitist is smoking some serious rope. Right, lets just move on and forget this ever happened.
Lets see, Secret Service is part of Homeland Security which is headed by Janet Napolintano who is a hand picked Cabinet position by, you guessed it, Obama.
Obama has not fired the Director of Secret Service and Janet Napolintano is doing her best to put on a bureaucrat face. The agents embarrassed the image of the United States. There are even pictures of Clinton partying in Columbia (That will look good when she is sitting across from the Taliban in negotiations).
I think that there should be some serious firings and apology. I am laughing at the new code of conduct for the Secret Service, you can drive a truck through them. Like "no foreign nationals in the hotel rooms except maid service". I can see it now, "You want to go to your room or your room" or "Honestly!, I thought it was maid service".
If you can not be faithful to your wife, you can not be faith to your country.
How many GSA employees partied at the Mustang Ranch In Las Vegas on the taxpayer dime?
It is not Obama's responsibility? Let me guess, someone else was did it.
Ghitist needs to wake up, America is doing business every day in Latin America. We have some major trading partners in the region and the US drops some serious defense dollars in S. American countries.
