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.)

What's the deal with gender and race being so important with the DEMs.
We never hear them say anything good about Men or Whites, it's always
and I mean always anti-whitey-male.

Does asking this make me racist? Of course I am according to Racist Negroes like
Lee and Co. Imagine the Repubs saying we need more Men anywhere in any job. Or even White males.

This crap will continue until these people are voted out.

Could this trumped up scandal be a excuse to get the public upset with the Secret Service ?

What would be the motivation for something like this to trash the good name and reputation of the Secret Service ?
Are these Secret Service men themselves to blame for this ? or was it a set up ?

Looks like a set up.
Demonize and trash the existing Secret service.
Replace with protection service loyal to the One.

Bet it happens.
And no news coverage.

And so it goes.

Those who are in power, and the powers that be could or would use this as a excuse to hold Congressional Hearings and of course get the public all upset with the Secret Service.
There will be calls and a uproar to get rid of the Secret Service and replace it with some kind of Private Military Police force that won't have to be held accountable to the public or Congress.

Imagine if there was some part of the Secret Service where ordinary citizens could report government, politician's, official's corruption..... Naaa , they can't have that.... it would disrupt their plans.
That's one thing that they would be very afraid of, people reporting them.... keeping them accountable.
