WASHINGTON – Secret Service boss Julia Pierson suddenly resigned Wednesday — a day after getting hammered in Congress over troubling White House security breaches.
“Today Julia Pierson, the Director of the United States Secret Service, offered her resignation, and I accepted it,” said Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson in a statement issued Wednesday afternoon.
Johnson named as acting director of the troubled agency Joseph Clancy, the former Special Agent in Charge of the division that overseas protection of the president and his family.
Pierson came under intense fire over a stunning security breach Sept. 19, when armed Iraq war veteran Omar Gonzalez jumped the White House fence, sprinted across the lawn and made it past the front door and inside the White House while carrying a small knife.
Early Wednesday, powerful lawmakers from both parties called on her to go.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the top Democrat on the Government Oversight Committee – and normally an administration defender — told MSNBC Wednesday he does “not feel comfortable with her in that position.”

Well, here you have it, Folks. I answered my own question.
All that matters was:
First Woman Is Chosen to Lead Secret Service
By PETER BAKER NYT
Published: March 26, 2013
WASHINGTON — President Obama on Tuesday appointed Julia A. Pierson, a longtime Secret Service agent, as the first woman to head the agency best known for protecting the president, vice president and their families.
So, when the pos, poseur in chief’s life is at stake, the person is fired? But when it is any other citizen, say Benghazi victims, everything is A-OK?
Need more R Lee Ermey or Agent K,
less Janet Reno.
UNDER THE BUS, BITCH!
I would suggest that simultaneous crashes of her computer hard-drive and Blackberry preceded this decision.
I hear there's an upcoming opening at Just-Us.
If the average daily paid attendance at Houston Astros games was half as good as the number of people under the Obama bus, they’d have the money to buy some pitching.
Shouldn’t this be a secret?
Finally, they throw someone under the bus who deserves it.
However, if they start firing all the incompetents in this administration, it’s going to be a bumpy road for the White House bus.
Will be replaced by another affirmative action hack.
Now if only Obama would resign.
LOL, once again proving that FR has FAR better humor than any late-night show!!!
Yet another affirmative-action, political-tool incompetent resigns. What a loser.
Wikipedia already has her as having resigned.
Reporter jumps in with question about how Obama feels about the Evil Israelis persecuting the poor Arab terrorists. Earnest launches into attack on Israel. Those bastards cannot help themselves, can they?
I guess the director slot is exempt from physical fitness standards if there are any.
If I could draw a cartoon with a head rolling down White House steps, I could make a few bucks. As it is, maybe someone else will. Lol
Why does it take a Congressional investigation to clean up Obama’s affirmative action mess?
oh well ...
