"The SS is above reproach"

Sarah Palin's charge that the Secret Service prostitute scandal highlighted President Barack Obama's "poor management skills" drew a sharp rebuke Friday from the White House, where chief spokesman Jay Carney dubbed it absurd and politically motivated.
"It is preposterous to politicize the Secret Service," Carney told reporters at his daily briefing.
Palin and Republican Senator Jeff Sessions have in recent days charged that the scandal, coupled to the outrage over the General Services Administration's lavish spending on a convention in Las Vegas, reflect poorly on Obama. Those two controversies, as well as the tragic mass slaying of Afghan civilians, allegedly by an American soldier, have overshadowed much of the White House's agenda in recent weeks.
"What they're doing is trying to turn these incidents — one that's still under investigation — to political advantage," Carney charged when asked about critics who lump the three issues together. "On the face of it, it's a ridiculous assertion that trivializes both the very serious nature of the endeavor that our military is engaged in in Afghanistan and the very serious nature both of the work that the Secret Service does, the apolitical nature of the institution, and the seriousness of the investigation under way," the spokesman said.

Sarah's action is totally unfair - because it's going to interfere with the White House's ability to turn these incidents to its own political advantage.
Good to know the 0 admin is right on top of Sarah Palin’s activities! Very important work!
Just ridiculous.
Oooooooo,
“A sharp rebuke”,
She must be terrified.
"The SS is above reproach"
Carney is something of an expert on the “absurd and politically motivated”.
SnakeDoc
Democrats blamed earthquakes, sunspots and alien invasions on Bush. What goes around, comes around.
They’re terrified she might run and I wish she would.
Hey, The Donald always fires the guy in charge. Just sayin’.
Here we have a Pres—ent who has never had a job where anyone ever reported to him;
who’s portrayed as a Constitutional scholar because he was a part time lecturer at a Chicago university for a short time;
who was basically a racial money pimp on the streets of black Chicago;
who never took positions as a state legislator that gained office by blackmailing his opposition;
who was in the US Senate, who never sponsered any legislation, for about 150 days before he started his bid for higher office;
and has never, ever run anything as complex as a lemonaide stand.
Mr Carney, what could ever negatively reflect on his management style or experience??
this from the “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste” administration.
BJ Clinton should be in the cartoon, looking UP.
“the Maldives.”
It is leadership. When your DOJ won’t prosecute Black Panthers, the ATF at the direction of the AG run guns and the entire administration acts above the law this is what you get.
LOL, I get a good laugh, and ya stick it to Zero at the same time.
She’s not to be underestimated.
Sarah Palin was correct in placing the blame on Obama and Biden.
The only success that can be claimed by Obama and Biden is that they have created an atmosphere in government that “anything goes”.
Since Obama has never held a position of leadership, he is incapable of accepting the concept that this Secret Service fiasco happened on “his watch”.
