Secret Service needs more women in its ranks
Washington Post ^ | April 24, 2012 | Joe Davidson

Maybe the Secret Service has too much testosterone.

Would more female agents have made the sex scandal involving special agents and Colombian prostitutes less likely?

No one can answer that with any certainty, but the scandal does raise the issue of gender diversity among those who are willing to die for the president. There is very little diversity among them — about 90 percent of Secret Service agents are men.

The probability of the scandal happening “would have been reduced significantly” if there were more women on the Cartagena detail, said Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.).

Greater gender diversity can set a different tone in “recreational liberties,” said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.)

Maybe we should just get rid of all men in all professions.

Women good. Men bad.

I suppose that way they could just boink each other instead of paying for prostitutes.

Sure. Do just that.

And we’ll have the ‘Cabana Boy Scandal’ at Taxpayer Expense to deal with later, LOL!

Stupid, competence is the over-riding necessity. But I guess if we have an affirmative action president, we might as well promote secret service agents on the basis of race and gender.
Ernst Rohm would be proud.

How many secret service agents that have been shot and killed have been women? If it’s less than 50% of them, perhaps we need to work to get them more represented here.

Unless you really are only for certain “gender equity” statistics.

Yes, they wouldn’t have had to hire out.

He continued, "With women on the detail the men would not have to pay for sex because once you combine testosterone and estrogen, nature will take it course."

What a bunch of crap! How about we only hire those that have the best attributes and abilities - how quaint, heh?

Seems that our PC overlords are controlling all these days.

Am getting really tired of the feminist overtones with government hiring.

Wasn't a woman in charge of this very unit?

(Paula) Reid, a 46-year-old black woman, tall and lean, with a reputation for being “exacting” and “steely.” The 21-year veteran of the Secret Service was recently promoted to head of the agency’s Miami bureau, where she oversees the 150 agents that work throughout South America.

maybe Political correctness is part of the problem?

Funny how the elites cram affirmative action down our throats but have no such thing for themselves when it's their ass on the line. Perhaps we should join in the chorus for more women agents on their front lines then see if and how much they squirm.

The only military personnel I see getting pregnant are the women.

Women? No way! That brings into play a whole different set of problems. I say go with the Oriental solution - eunuchs!

Maloney and Jackson Lee. Proof that we need more men in Congress.

I say it’s entirely Obama’s fault. If he had hired more gay Secret Service men, this never would have happened!
