A dozen Secret Service agents accused of misconduct
2012-04-14
Twelve Secret Service agents with President Obama at an international meeting have been relieved of duty because of allegations of misconduct. The AyPee received an anonymous tip that the misconduct involved prostitutes in Cartagena, the site of the Summit of the Americas. A Secret Service spokesman would neither confirm nor deny the allegation.

Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan did not confirm that prostitution was involved, saying only that there had been "allegations of misconduct" made against Secret Service personnel. He said the allegations of misconduct were related to activity before the president's arrival Friday night.

#13  Best line yet on the story -

"CNN reported the scandal erupted after one of the agents stiffed one of the hookers."

Game, set and match to NY Post.

#12  Do secret service agents and special ops attached to them get free contraception or do they have to go to law school first?

#9  Bust-ed! Fox sez the boys were drinking heavily and disputed the extra hotel bill for an extra overnight guest. Sounds like GSA isn't the only agency accustomed to perks.

#8  Maybe his agents should all be female, like Gaddafi's Amazonian Guard. That'd problably go over really well with Michelle, I'm sure.

#5  Zerohedge's comment: while he may be far more successful in generating jobs in Latin America than domestically, even those jobs have proven to be quite transitory, just like virtually all quickie temp jobs "created or saved" in the US in the past several years. Furthermore, just like in the US, we doubt that the incremental wealth benefits will trickle down to the local population. After all, unlike in the US, endogenous Colombian liquidity may be abundant everywhere but certainly not at the central bank
