Mark Steyn: Secret Service Agents Apply Fiscal Prudence In Colombia
What we know so far is this: All 11 Secret Service men and all 10 U.S. military personnel staying at the Hotel Caribe are alleged to have had “escorts” in their rooms that night. All of them. The entire team.
Twenty-one U.S. public servants. Twenty-one Colombian whores. Unless a couple of the senior guys splashed out for the two-girl special. “Some of them were saying they didn’t know they were prostitutes,” explained Congressman Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. “Some are saying they were women at the bar.”
Amazing to hear government agents channeling Dudley Moore in Arthur: “You’re a hooker? I thought I was doing so well.”
It turns out U.S. Secret Service agents are the only men who can walk into a Colombian nightclub and not spot the professionals.
Steyn’s point is, “Everywhere you look in the bloated federal leviathan, all is waste, all is excess.” Go read the whole thing.
