We already have one person on the board who posts tiny pieces of news stories without a url or real explanation expecting us to waste time Googling til we find it, don't need another person doing it. Actually we don't even need one.

First of all, I met a Secret Service guy a while back, and after the stories he told, this whole thing does not surprise me in the slightest. These guys are type A personalities, the live a pretty much nomadic lifestyle, and they're frequently in dangerous situations, it's no surprise that they find pretty extreme ways to blow off steam.
To me, the real problem is that it provides the perfect opportunity for someone who wants to compromise an agent or the security of an operation. That and the fact that they were cheapasses about it, considering $80 (let alone $30) for the same thing in the US wouldn't even get you a full set of teeth.

I hope I'm not that person. I may slip now and then but at least I try provide a link to a juicy YouTube vid or something vaguely topical.
And yes I get annoyed with the weaselly unsourced stuff like "some people said" and I'm all, "Uhh, WHO is 'some people?'" That's a big enough opening that can rival most clown pockets.
Or so I've heard. ;-)

$80? Her fee was $800, and he was trying to send her out the door with $35... so she called the cops on him.
But yeah... super unprofessional of them, and brought immense shame on the White House, but completely typical behavior of black-op and secret service types. I've had the misfortune of partying with some back in the day, and when they are off duty they LOVE to mix it up in ways most wouldn't... start fights for sport, steal cars for fun, that sort of thing. And when they get arrested, they stay anonymous, and the state department comes in, flashes their credentials and gets these anonymous guys out of jail, so yeah, they get used to getting away with stuff, and they do it for fun. I'm sure he had no plans to ever pay the escort her fee. What really hit the fan here was that a reporter was in the hotel, and opened the story up before it could be shut down.
To be honest, though, what kind of behavior do you expect from trained assassins who, in theory, will knowingly step in front of a bullet to save their subject. They get some leeway, and that has bred a culture of "how far can I push this priviledge."

Did you mean to write eight hundred dollars? Or was that a typo? Anyway, I don't see what the big deal is. What is with the whole prostitution = scandal thing?! So he paid a woman for sex, big deal. You want something, you pay for it. What was a big deal (in my opinion) was that he cheated her. I hope that in the end she got her money.

Well, Abe Lincoln said: “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.”
I guess he knew what he was talking about.
