Agents Gone Wild, Part II: Debating the Fallout

The Obama Administration may not want to talk about the Secret Service's recent adventures south of the border, but Matt and Stephen do!  Vicariously enjoy a night of wild partying and Columbian prostitutes with another Conflict Revolution email debate - as always, these are real emails from real white collar workers...

****

Stephen: Should we mock debate if secret service agents should be allowed hookers?

Matt: Mock debate what?  Those SS agents have like, the most stressful jobs ever.  What do you have against them taking a break every once in awhile?  

Stephen: Can we avoid calling them SS agents? That invokes bad guys in my mind. As for their stressful job, I agree. Did they pay for their own $47 hookers? I wonder if they did background checks on them first?

Matt: They paid $47 per hooker?!?  I don't really know anything about hooker prices, but I would have to hope that with the strong dollar in Latin America they at least got fair value on that.  Good point on the background checks.  In the game of prostitute solicitation, I think we can call that competitive advantage.

Stephen: Perhaps that's what caused the fight? They knew from their intelligence services that those particular acts from those particular hookers typically only cost $40?

Daily News: Agents Gone Wild - Secret Services Edition

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!!!"
