HUH? GOP & Dem Feminists Blame Secret Service Hooker Scandal on “Too Few” Chick Agents; ICE’s HookerGate
The dumbest thing I’ve heard about the United States Secret Service hooker scandal comes from Democrat Carolyn Maloney of New York and far-left Republican Susan Collins of Maine. They blame the scandal on the Secret Service’s “male culture” and whine that only 13% of current Secret Service agents are women. It’s bunk. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has many female agents and was headed by a (really incompetent) chick, Julie L. Myers, when its own top agents not only patronized prostitutes, but had the chutzpah to charge the brothel payment on their ICE government credit cards. One of the men who did this was one of Myers’ top deputy directors at ICE, and yet she shoved it under the rug, allowing him to retire with a full pension. Oh, and he did it in Thailand, while there on a mission regarding ICE’s work against sex tourism.
Feminist idiots who claim that women running the show–or even filling an equal number of slots–will stop prostitution scandals . . . well, they’re idiots or they must know what they are spewing is total BS. The reason the Secret Service got caught in this scandal is the same reason Barack Obama is President, the Kartrashian bimbos are rich, and race-baiter Al-Sharpton has a show on a major NBC property: the dumbing down of America–every single aspect of it. The Secret Service has been dumbed down along with it. And I should know, since I wrote about and researched this.
When I was in college in the late ’80s, I wrote a thesis paper on the United States Secret Service and how it changed since its founding. I read everything I could about the agency. And one thing that was different than from now is the discipline the agency had. Where it was once basically a paramilitary organization, it’s now a lackluster, lazy bureaucracy. In the ’80s, agents could have only limited facial hair (such as mustaches), and they were hyper-aware when working. This was best detailed by former Secret Service Agent Marty Venker in his book (with George Rush,”Confessions of an Ex-Secret Service Agent.” It was an interesting read. Venker wrote about how he spent all of his time on Secret Service details focusing on two things–the person he was protecting and the potential threats in the immediate vicinity of that person. Stuff was so intense that it severely affected Venker’s personal life. And, in his off hours, he blew off steam in the dark underbelly of New York’s punk scene, where he became friends with people like Madonna before she hit it big.
And agents never talked about what they did much. When another agent, Dennis V.N. McCarthy, wrote “Protecting The President,” many of his fellow agents were angry. I think they also didn’t like that he took credit for helping save President Reagan from John Hinckley. But writing a book like that just wasn’t done.
But, now, we are in a Facebook world, with people making ever more jackasses of themselves. Now, we have goateed agents like David Chaney, the moron who posted on his Facebook account about how he was checking out Sarah Palin, along with the photo, below. And Palin was 100% spot on when she says that Obama should worry about whether or not the agents are protecting his family (though she wasn’t spot on about any agents checking out Michelle Hussein Obama–just sayin’ that ain’t happenin’). The agency has lowered its standards. A top Detroit-area Secret Service agent was arrested for beating his wife. And yet, despite legal papers filed in the matter, his gun and badge were never pulled, something which should–and used to be–standard procedure in such a case.
And the standards began falling a while ago. When I was in college in the late ’80s, I was at a military show at the Cap Center, sitting with the Congressman I worked for that summer. We were in front of President George H.W. Bush and then-Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney. I was surprised when the Secret Service agent sitting behind me tried to pick me up and gave me his number. I was thinking: if he’s talking to me, who’s protecting the President? Yes, there were other agents there, but still . . . .
And if the feminist idiots really think that the Secret Service hooker scandal is because there aren’t enough women, they should look at the women who’ve run ICE. One of them, for example, Suzie Barr, is known by agents as Suzie “Stripper Pole” Bar, the Chief of Staff at ICE–and the person who is basically running the agency, as Janet Napolitano’s eyes and ears there. Barr got her nickname because she refers to a structural support in her office as a stripper pole, and because she regularly degrades and sexually harasses male agents. I’m told by many rightfully angry agents that Suzie Barr’s behavior includes summoning good-looking men to her office, dropping things, and making them bend over.
Uh-huh, if only there were more women Secret Service agents, right?
Surely, Collins and Maloney know better. But they’ll use any opportunity for more affirmative action for women in federal law enforcement agencies, which already lower the standards to allow more women in.
The Secret Service has become like every other government bureaucracy. And as in any other, boys will play. And the women are no different.
They’re dumbed down, too. More so, because the standards are even more relaxed to enable their entry.
I remember when Jimmy Carter was President and the biggest “scandal” to hit the Secret Service was that the members of Jimmy Carter’s PPD (Personal Protection Detail) were all voting for Ronald Reagan. Then, their softball team wore yellow t-shirts which showed the Secret Service emblem with bullet holes through it on one side and the phrase, “You Elect ‘Em, We Protect ‘Em” on the other. (What I wouldn’t give for one of those t-shirts–been searching for one for decades.)
Those were the good old days. Maybe not in the White House, but at least among the men charged with protecting its then-occupant.

It is sad that these women are more concerned with pushing affirmative action than finding out why the Secret Service was so oblivious to the conduct of its own agents. Also, it was apparently a woman who was in charge of that group of agents:

Paula Reid decided to jump in after this indident was already becoming public. What was she doing before damage control was necessary?
