It is rumored that the secret service agent that created the intial fuss re: paying the prostitute was actually a female agent. And it wasn't that she didn't want to pay, it was just that the hooker got upset when the agent dug in her purse for over 1/2 hour looking for exact change. It may have been already decided to give the investigation duties to Barney Frank.
CARTAGENA, Colombia—The Secret Service put 11 agents on administrative leave
Saturday amid allegations they brought prostitutes back to their hotel rooms
while preparing for a visit by President Barack Obama, a widening scandal that
may also involve five military service personnel, officials said Saturday.
Barack Obama is welcomed by Colombian President Juan
Manuel Santos and first lady Maria Clemencia de Santos.
The Secret Service agents were caught when one of the women stayed in an
agent's room past 7 a.m., in violation of hotel policy, said Rep. Peter King
(R., N.Y.), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, which oversees
the Secret Service. That agent initially refused to open his door for the hotel
manager, which prompted the manager to call the police, who later reported the
incident to the U.S. embassy, Mr. King said.
Also Saturday, the United States Southern Command said in a written statement
that five U.S. service members assigned to the summit violated curfew and "may
have been involved in inappropriate conduct." The statement continued: "The
conduct is alleged to have occurred in the same hotel where the recalled United
States Secret Service agents were staying."
If you can't appreciate a good rumor, I pity you dude. You just don't take anything seriously do you.
