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.)

Well, when the people the SS are protecting get half a foot shorter, then maybe they can hire more women.

Maybe when I see libs bitching about jobs that are way over-represented by women and saying how bad it is, and that real actions must be taken and laws must be written to fix it to demand men be represented equally, then I will give two sh1ts about gender equality.

“Secret Service needs more women in its racks”

Allow me to correct your typo to:
“Secret Service needs more women with racks”.

Heh, like it matters about about gender - it is all about decency, honesty, integrity, and much more! These folks had none of that. I care little about the gender, but I do care about the decency of those that serve our President.

I would say that honesty and decency starts from the top - what say you?

I think the ss should be completely staffed by gay midgets. All diversity issues would be covered.

Secret Service needs more women in tank-tops.

I nominate Sandra Fluke and her oversexed Georgetown sisters for Secret Service gang bangers. They can entertain the male SS agents. In this way, there will no longer be scandals with prostitutes. Sandra Fluke (and others) get their unlimited orgasms and contraceptives free, and the male SS agents go off to work with smiles. This is a win-win for Barry if he will only take it.

LOL...it is a sad thing indeed when a commonsense statement like yours shines like a flashlight out of a dark night!

But that is the truth. If you aren’t professional, makes no difference if you are a glitter-bomb throwing transsexual (from another thread!) or a white male...you just aren’t professional.

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."

Unless the women hired are primarily lesbian, in which case they will work hard to drive straight men out of the Service. What you will be left with will be a force that will be uninterested in taking a bullet to protect the persons they guard, but it will be just FABULOUS.

I just love the thought process of “man hating” women.

After all, they have unleashed the queer agenda upon us and are endangering the lives of our servicemen by placing women in combat positions and other positions requiring strength they don’t have, both physiologically or physically.

There are plenty of women in the Secret Service, the men just need to be of better CHARACTER!

That’s probably exactly what they mean.
Fat, minority, unionized women with attitudes precluding them from working in any private sector capacity.
