. You Can't Make this Shi!t Up! Secret Service assigned Chaperones on Trips! WASHINGTON (AP) — Embarrassed by a prostitution scandal, the Secret Service will assign chaperones on some trips to enforce new rules of conduct that make clear that excessive drinking, entertaining foreigners in their hotel rooms and cavorting in disreputable establishments are no longer tolerated. http://p.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/apr/28/us-secret-service-new-rules-no-boozing-racy-bars/ .

I want to know WHO will be the chaperones? What are their qualifications? Yet another boondoggle - will the chaperones be little old grandmothers? What will the be paid? I am sure that it outweighs my teaching salary - since someone has to do it, I will gladly apply. Believe me, they will be choirboys and girls if they are with me! |

Only if you had some sort of irrevocable doomsday authority over their employment and retirement prospects. Otherwise any "chaperones" would just be another layer of government deadheads. |

The Secret Service will assign chaperones on some trips to enforce new rules of conduct HUH? These are highly trained, supposedly security cleared individuals and they can't keep their ***** in their pants when they are on a mission to protect the President of the USA? Fire them! It is that simple. BTW I think they already have enough dead "heads" in the White House, but thanks for the offer diet dr pepper. Edited by Baldo, Apr 28 2012, 04:29 PM.

Who is going to babysit the chaperones? Will the chaperones be armed like the SS agents? This is typical of government, a few bad actors and everyone will be punished. Reminds me of Germany when Hitle has the gestapo watching the SS or visa vera. |

Let's understand that these chaperones are going to have to reflect a PC-correct diversity of gender, transgender, race, ethnicity, national origin, and religion (ie, muslims, too). |

A security guard that needs a chaperone is not a security guard. |

Inquiry hears of wider Secret Service misbehavior WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators investigating the Secret Service prostitution scandal said Wednesday that dozens of reported episodes of misconduct by agents point to a culture of carousing in the agency and urged Director Mark Sullivan to get past his insistence that the romp in Cartagena was a one-time mistake. The disconnect between the senators and Sullivan reappeared again and again throughout the two-hour hearing, even as the Secret Service chief for the first time apologized for the incident that tarnished the elite presidential protection force. By the end, Sullivan's job appeared secure even as new details emerged that left little doubt, senators said, that a pattern of sexual misbehavior had taken root in the agency. "He kept saying over and over again that he basically does think this was an isolated incident and I don't think he has any basis for that conclusion," said Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, the senior Republican on the Homeland Security panel that heard Sullivan's first public accounting of the episode. "For the good of the Secret Service," added Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, the panel chairman, "he's got to assume that what happened in Cartagena was not an isolated incident or else it will happen again." Still, Sullivan insisted repeatedly that in his 29-year Secret Service career he had never heard anyone say that misconduct was condoned, implicitly or otherwise. "I just do not think that this is something that is systemic within this organization," Sullivan said. The misconduct became public after a dispute over payment between a Secret Service agent and a prostitute at a Cartagena hotel on April 12. The Secret Service was in the Colombian coastal resort for a Latin American summit before Obama's arrival. Twelve employees were implicated, eight of them ousted, three cleared of serious misconduct and one is being stripped of his security clearance. Sullivan said two who initially resigned now are fighting for their jobs back. "These individuals did some really dumb things," Sullivan told the Senate panel. "I'm hoping I can convince you that it isn't a cultural issue." He didn't make much progress on that front, as senators offered fresh evidence of what they considered reckless behavior. Lieberman said 64 allegations or complaints of sexual misconduct were made against Secret Service employees in the last five years. Three of those, Lieberman said, were complaints of inappropriate relationships with a foreign national and one of "nonconsensual intercourse," on which he didn't have enough information to elaborate. Sullivan said that complaint was investigated by outside law enforcement officers, who decided not to prosecute. Thirty other cases involved alcohol, Lieberman said, almost all relating to driving under the influence....snipped http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hlv4y2XdwItv2lLT-m_rJULLgVVg?docId=4becd3761f224b50bfaeaa36b2a694bc I wasn't there as they say, however we assume the Secret Service to be the best of the best. Perhaps we were wrong. I do know that I don't expect them to have a drinking problem, especially a DUI. There should be Zero Tolerance. As far a keeping their zippers shut with hookers on foreign or domestic missions it is obvious that a group responsible for the protection of the President, his family, and other high officials should be of the highest moral character |

It's not a partisan issue, but leadership is certainly a part of it. Barry has blazed a new trail for breaking rules.... you can fill in the rest here! |
