In 2012, during a trip by President Obama to a conference in Columbia, a number of Secret Service agents hooked up with some — hookers — in a hotel room. One service provider wound up having a dispute with one client over how much she should be paid. She evaluated the services she’d rendered at ~$750. He did not. The dispute spilled over onto the street and drew the attention of the police. Thus we had a bit of a scandal.
In my view, however, the most outrageous feature of the event …
… is that he only offered her $30.
Any woman I’d engage gets more than that merely to bat her eyelashes and giggle.
In context, this detail only epitomizes the overwhelming hubris of the entire situation, and is well worth costing the gentleman his job.
