Good Timing of Bad Behavior

The General Services Administration holds wild parties in Las Vegas and elsewhere, while the Secret Service parties with cocaine and prostitutes. Meanwhile the Justice Department looks the other way while black extremist organizations offer bounties and threaten voters at polling places.

Those who've wondered when the Obama administration would have scandals can relax, the scandals are have arrived, and the timing is perfect. You couldn't ask for better timing than in an election year, preferably a presidential election year. Those "Chicago genes" have a way of becoming known, don't they?

The other DrC and I met some Secret Service lads during the Bush/Cheney years in Jackson WY. Part of a Cheney protection detail and amazingly clean cut; of course Dick Cheney wouldn't put up with any nonsense. I expect the guys take their cues from the people they protect.

Their idea of being bad was eating a huge, greasy hamburger at Billy's. I remember one wisecracking they'd have to run 5 more miles to burn off the calories; no easy job in the thin air at 6000 ft. elevation.
