1) In case you haven't heard yet, the Obama White House has a sex scandal on its hands: 11 Secret Service Agents are accused of a) soliciting the services of Colombian prostitutes and b) starting a scene and later a fight after refusing to pay. They have been suspended from duty and have had their security clearance(s) revoked.
Oh, by the way, all members of the President's most trusted security detail were married, some of whom were security supervisors of the entire Presidential visit and the incident(s) happened BEFORE the Obama team even arrived in Colombia.
Prostitution is legal in (certain parts of) Colombia. Partying like dumbasses putting even The Hangover guys to shame when you're the personal bodyguards of the President of the United States, in a country often known for extensive drug-related violence and cocaine cartels, is not.
2) Not to be outdone, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton throws back a beer (or two) and parties from "dusk till yawn" (TMZ)
3) It's hard to say who will be the next Secretary of State, but you can make damn sure who's going to be running for the Dems in the 2016 general elections:
"I'm barely 18!!!"
I was an Obama supporter before it was even cool, but had I known Hillary could party like this... well let's just say I might have reconsidered.
ReplyDeleteIt's so ridiculous how some people (Fox News, basically) are supposedly outraged by the pictures of Hillary. How is it embarrassing for a woman to be photographed drinking a beer? I thought being able to drink a beer like a "normal person" was a qualification for the presidency these days... or maybe that's just for men.
ReplyDeleteAlso, apparently Clinton once suggested a vodka-drinking contest while in Estonia, and John McCain took her up on it. Why can't we have more of such bipartisan camaraderie? I might be a Republican, but I respect this lady.
Seconded. The Secret Service scandal highlights the hypocrisy and double standards for acceptable conduct by men and women who serve our nation, and/or are otherwise politically involved. Thanks for responding!
DeleteThe thought of John McCain and Hillary Clinton having a vodka-drinking contest brings a smile to my face.
DeleteI'm pretty sure the thought of any drinking brings a smile to your face.
DeleteAnything that would make Hillary happy.
