Two drunken Secret Service agents recently crashed their car into a White House barricade following a retirement party for a fellow employee. It’s funny how a retirement party honoring one person often leads to more than one person retiring if you hold it at a bar. When reached for comment, a White House spokesman said “Well, at least there wasn’t a prostitute in the back, so these incidents seem to be getting less unsavory over time.”
According to news reports, the two employees have been reassigned to “non-operational assignments” that don’t involve supervising others. I’m pretty sure that’s code-speak for repainting barricades outside the White House.
But here’s what interests me. Usually it’s difficult for the perpetrators to explain away these incidents. But for these two guys it should be easy. This one is a total gimmie. They just need to step up to a microphone and say:
“Well, it’s kinda like hackers revealing flaws in a network’s security. We wanted to show just how easy it is to get a vehicle right up near the White House. As for the booze? Well, we hoped to demonstrate that security there is so incredibly lax that even a guy who’s totally loaded could pull it off.”
You always want to look like you’re selflessly taking one for the team. Especially when you screw up.
Hooters sounds like fun!
In their defense, Obama has driven *me* to drink.
“It’s funny how a retirement party honoring one person often leads to more than one person retiring if you hold it at a bar.” Maybe that can be the Secret Services’ new motto?
More people in jeopardy of losing their jobs? Thanks, Obama.
maybe from now on they should hold their parties at IHOP.
