Like the Red October, the Secret Service now has political officers.

Embarrassed by a prostitution scandal, the Secret Service will assign chaperones on some trips to enforce new rules of conduct that make clear that excessive drinking, entertaining foreigners in their hotel rooms and cavorting in disreputable establishments are no longer tolerated.

I understand that Bill Clinton has volunteered to come out of retirement to become one of the chaperones.

Treat the secret service like a bunch of teenagers? Chaperones? Do they have to hold up their hand for permission to go pee pee?

There is something very very wrong with this picture.

Only Obama would want a bunch of adolescent acting men for protection.

Not firing the top guy is about as stupid as it gets. I guess he figures it’s worth it to put his life in the hands of mental cases so he can make it to his political rallys.

Obviously they were too stupid and arrogant to obey the original rules set out for them, and since their supervisors were unwilling to keep control over them, they’ll need babysitters now.

and who will babysit the babysitters?

I thought SS WERE the babysitters?

I haven’t been this confused since they invented the Dept. of Homeland Security.

Animal House frat boys protecting the POTUS.

Damn right you need chaperones or wardens or guards.

And the Frat is probably on double secret probation.

Maybe the federal government should provide the women. Then at least the fees would be settled in advance. Cleaner all the way around. Call it the FBP. Federal Bureau of Pu$$y.

For the right pay, I’ll do it.

This could be an opportunity to expand government and fight un-employment, they could even create a new cabinet position or at least obama could appoint a new czar. It’s not just been the GSA and the Secreat Service, it’s been members of the military IRS agents ambassadors and their staff. So much inappropiate behavior in government, even Senators and Congressmen not to mention those in steno pools and maintenance. The government may need a million or more highly trained chaperones. this would also be good for the universities, they could receive government grants for determining what would be proper behavior for each government position and then offer classes with degrees and what government job description would require how many chaperones per employee. Some may even be assigned to one employee and we would probably then discover we would need chaperones for the chaperones. One weakness in the plan is that it may require the democrats to start condeming behavior that they now condone or there may be no need for chaperones.

This reminds me of the Cubans, East Germans and maybe others before the Iron Curtain fell - for the Cubans even today.

Wherever Cuban athletic teams traveled they had political overseers who “chaperoned” them to keep them from defecting. On their bus taking them to various venues in the 1971 Pan Am Games, these guys in their sweat suits went with every team to “chaperon” them. In Cali, Columbia, some the Cuban cycling team members went riding for practice with "chaparon" peddling trying to keep up, but a couple kept on going and never came back. Later I heard they had been taken to a CIA base in Central America. There were others who escaped during the Games too. Ditto the Central American and Caribbean Games in Santa Domingo. These things I witnessed - the “chaperons” at work, not the defections. I was told these “chaperons” accompanied Cubans whenever they left the island.

Obama has had good training on how to handle overseas behavior by someone.

How much extra are these ‘chaperones’ going to cost us? Shouldn’t they just get SS with intgrity, or are they afraid they would show up Hussein?

Are “chaperones” a limp-wristed way of having political officers? Sounds Soviet to me.

I always though the chaperon on any gov’t trip was the highest ranking officer ...

Unless current officers do not have any standards which to live up to.
