NYT: Escort Recounts Quarrel With Secret Service Agent
New York Times ^ | April 16, 2012 | WILLIAM NEUMAN

Posted on 04/18/2012 12:04:42 PM PDT by maggief

CARTAGENA, Colombia — A Secret Service agent preparing for President Obama’s arrival at an international summit meeting and a single mother from Colombia who makes a living as a high-priced escort faced off in a room at the Hotel Caribe a week ago over how much he owed her for the previous night’s intercourse. “I tell him, ‘Baby, my cash money,’ ” the woman said in her first public comments on a spat that would soon spiral into a full-blown scandal.

The dispute — he offered $30 for services she thought they had agreed were worth 25 times that — triggered a tense early morning struggle in the hallway of the posh hotel involving the woman, another prostitute, Colombian police officers arguing on the women’s behalf and American federal agents who tried but failed to keep the matter — which has shaken the reputation of the Secret Service — from escalating.

Sitting on a couch in her living room wearing a short jean skirt, high-heeled espadrilles and a tight spandex top with a plunging neckline, the woman described how she and a girlfriend were approached by a group of American men at a discotheque. In an account that tracked with the official version of events coming out of Washington, but could not be independently confirmed, she said the men bought a bottle of Absolut vodka for the table and when that was finished bought a second one.

“They never told me they were with Obama,” she said. “They were very discreet.”

Yeah, if she'd known she'd have claimed she was worth a hundred times more.

Still think this whole mess smells.

Perhaps the local rules are different when the hooker has to report the room number, sign-in with the front desk and leave her ID there?

Cheap idiot!

Ruined his marriage and the image of the SS over not paying a fair price for a hooker.

Just shows how arrogant and egotisitical most government workers are.

Well, the so called pretentident sets the standards. What would one expect if you had to work with him?
Nevermind , the SS standards were higher...they didn’t get boys as prostitutes.

I thought the stolen iPods were related to the GSA scandal?

So many scandals in this administration this week—so hard to keep them straight.

Hmmmm...

All the key words are in place. “Single mother.” “Crying.” “I’m scared.”

Ring a bell? “Dancer gives details of ordeal”

Ha!

My sister studied horticulture at university where the thought was:

You can take a whore to culture but you can't make her think.

People are so clever!

"What hooker worth her money doesn’t collect in advance?"

One that's hired by a third party to "entertain" visiting officials. "Whatever happens overseas, stays overseas"...unless someone gets mean drunk, or stupid cheap. These SS boys aren't the first official Americans to get embroiled in this kind of trouble overseas. They certainly won't be the last. I've known plenty of fools who had to take a cab to a local motel upon return stateside because the wife changed the locks and hired an attorney after getting that late night call from the embassy.

Maybe a hooker that isn't a hooker. When money isn't the problem, getting those phones and laptops are.

Better to say Secret Service agent gets into fight with hooker than to say they got all of laptops and phones - we were duped.

You can bet that Chavez, Putin and the others are laughing their asses off about Obama. Obama looks like an amateur who can't even have a decent protection from SS.

Unless Obama was in it, too. He hates America.

Just about anybody who works for TSA, I’m thinking.

When in doubt, write it out. If dealing in dollars, there's no way to mistake $30.00 and $750.00 .
