I don't know about the validity of those reports, but, what I do know is “Big Boy Rules” always apply regardless of your situation or location. Essentially that means if you're going to allow folks to party than you need to ensure you have designated partiers which means you have at least 1 or 2 folks who remain sober and who manage these types of situations. I don’t want to knock the entire SS culture or abilities but if they didn’t have a contingency for dealing with this type of situation from escalating to this point then the POTUS might want to reconsider his security arrangements. But hey, you do realize thats why its known as "Loco Colombia.":D

BTW: the biggest lesson here is NEVER, EVER try to cheat a Colombian, especially a Colombiana, you'll not only loose, but, you'll end up looking like a fool on the front page of every paper in the world, you'll end up getting fired from your job, you'll end up getting divorced or breaking up from your girlfriend and life will no longer be the same. Being I'm married to a Colombiana, I know these things and these words are verdad! :eek:

So - re that pic - what are "prostitues" - a pair of call girls? And what do "prostitues" from South Carolina have to do with this thread about Colombian rentahoohoos? ;) :D

And so it goes...

Richard :munchin

It's Bill's southern drawl. :D

Also to complete my thought on the biggest lesson learned: "you'll end up being investigated by congress for incompetenece and ethical or moral lapses. I have to say thats about as low as you can possibly go....:eek:

Just another constant in this government I can no longer have faith in.

This is all political bullshit, IMHO. Doesn't make it right, because it's not, but if anyone for an INSTANT believes this is the first time this type of thing has happened (in any administration) someone is living under a very large rock in a very deep hole.

And by the way, if one of these guys with the prostitutes was my husband, the VERY LAST thing he would have to worry about is the inquiry, because I would have cut off his pee pee and served it to him for dinner.

We all make mistakes, and I will be the first to say that I would not divorce my husband over a one night stand, but when he puts my health at risk by sleeping with a renta-hooha, in a country that is not known for it's cleanliness ;), he will never again have to wonder if he can give me something.

I don't know...

CARTAGENA, Colombia — ABC News has learned exclusively that the Secret Service officials accused of misconduct in Colombia revealed their identities by boasting at a Cartagena brothel that they worked for President Obama.

Partying at the “Pley Club” eleven members of the president’s advance team allegedly bragged “we work for Obama” and “we’re here to protect him.”
The officials spent the night throwing back expensive whiskey and enlisting the services of the club’s prostitutes, according to a bouncer at the club and a police source.

Sources tell ABC News several of the men agreed to pay for, and received, services from the “highest category” prostitutes available at the club, who charge upwards of $200.

The men paid for the sexual services in advance but when it came time to settle the bill, there was a dispute over the charges.

The group became belligerent and the police were called. The argument between the officials and the bouncers from the club escalated and ultimately spilled onto the street, according to several eye witness accounts.

The police have since been directed by U.S. authorities not to comment on that night or the scandal surrounding the Secret Service, according to a senior police official in Cartagena.

Prostitution is legal in Colombia and the women who work at the Pley Club live on the premises.

The club, located on a dusty street in the industrial Bosque neighborhood, just blocks from the port, has a rough exterior but boasts plush “pley rooms” inside.

The Pley Club is a well-known brothel in this historic city. Some taxi drivers in the resort-town are paid a commission for recommending the club and its prostitutes to tourists.

Fresh questions have emerged surrounding the number of U.S. officials involved in the controversy and the scope of their misconduct.

Senator Susan Collins, R-Maine, was briefed by the Secret Service for roughly 30 minutes Monday night about the men’s behavior.

Collins later said she was informed that there were about 11 agents involved in the misconduct in Colombia, and “twenty or twenty-one women foreign nationals” were brought to the Hotel Caribe, where the Americans were staying.

Like the police, the staff at the hotel have been instructed by their management not to comment on the men’s behavior. Workers at the hotel tell ABC News they have been told to say they were “off,” “on vacation,” or “working a different shift” when asked about what went on at the hotel.

The members of the Secret Service team, who were in Cartagena on assignment ahead of the president’s visit for the Summit of the Americas, were relieved of their duties and sent home last Friday, the same day Obama arrived.

In addition to the officials being investigated by the Secret Service, the Pentagon said Monday it was investigating as many of 20 members of the military who may have been involved in the partying as well.

The controversy surrounding the officials’ misconduct overshadowed the summit last weekend and local residents are questioning why the city put so many resources into the international event only to be left with a tarnished reputation.

“Cartagena didn’t benefit one cent from President Obama’s visit. All people remember are that the Secret Service agents slept with our prostitutes,” said a man who works in the neighborhood.
Snip

I'm not convinced this shit has ever happened before.

And probably should have kept those SS credentials concealed as well. Not the best time to blow cover.

So to speak...

:D

Haha he said blow :D

afchic

Those men went there to try to extract those young women for a life of being enslaved for the pleasure of dirty old men. They were the advance team following orders. One of the brain washed women that definitely had PTSD lost it on the way to the extraction point and blew their cover..... Literally. They are just missunderstood as they were on a mission and if they tell someone they will have to be killed;):rolleyes:

:)

I've wondered exactly what motivation the MSM had for bringing this to light, I think you hit on it.

Scandal is scandal and it sells ads - those SS agents are supposed to be nameless, featureless, omniscient, invisible guardians of the most powerful man in the most powerful country in the world.

Now look at how the actions of a few, or one of them has tarnished the image of their organization and the image of our leadership to the Columbians and anyone else who pays attention to the drivel that oozes from the mouths of the MSM talking heads.

Their mistakes would have been dealt with (I'm sure) within their department. With the media coverage their mistakes will now be dealt with by a much larger set of people.
