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.)

Did she get promoted on her qualifications ?

Or was it because they “need more women and minorities” in the leadership?

Barney Frank doesn’t agree.

He figures if you hire experienced hershey highway bandits, trannies and queens it will solve both problems.

Holder has his people and Barney has his people.....

Part of the problem was the affirmative action girl put in charge of the Miami office - which is the office the SS team was out of.

What we really need to do is to only allow married women to vote. Single women tend to be wealth redistributionists. They want Gov’t to be their husband (sugar daddy) and the Democrats are happy to cater to them and get them affirmative action of all sorts. Welfare too for numerous out of wedlock kiddies

Then the Democrats would have a hard time winning elections.

I think this article is spot on. Surround The Messiah with a squadron of butch gay women and sponsor a trip to Iran for him and the family. Napolitano can be the leader. Bite Me should also go along to add more “stature” to the group, Harry Reid and San Fran Nan also.

Give me a break!

Equating women in the USA with a random NY Democrat female elected official’s ignorant rant?

I would say no cigar, but that statement changed meaning after Clinton was POTUS...

BTW, if a man “hires out”, no free woman will ever want to touch him.
Seriously, never to be overcome, "ick" action. But you now that, right?

I think I can answer it with certainty, as a female police officer, and the answer is it wouldn't make a fig of difference. You are either a responsible professional or you aren't. Geesh, I'm so sick of these idiots.

Yeah, like the International Space Station needs to keep a female astronette on board.

If you were POTUS, and had a wife that looks like Little Richard, you would want more female SS agents!
