Investigation into Secret Service prostitution scandal in Colombia widens

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

This has nothing to do with President Obama.  If there's one agency of the government that transcends party, ideology, and individual polticians, it's the Secret Service.

I did not mean to imply that this was an Obama scandal, simply that the members of the Secret Service involved in this affair are assigned to the President.

I meant no disrespect to the President, and apologize for any misunderstanding.

Good. So I'm sure you won't object to my editing the thread title for accuracy's sake.

I object    There is an interesting push to see if White House staffers were involved.  I wish Carney would just come out and say definitely no and put that part of the story to bed (pun not intended).

When and if some of that is coroborated, Gramps, or Winnie wants to offer some articles I support we'll review it then...

I want a denial, Badg.   How hard it is to say "no White House staffers were involved, K? Thx. Piss off."

Well at least the White House said they weren't involved.  Investigating themselves is laughable, and Carney's portrayal of the internal investigation reminds me of a tap-dance class, but hey at least they're on record as saying no involvement.

We'll see.
