It’s not a secret that the Secret Service is in the dumps.
Last week the Director resigned, leaving us thinking – what’s next for the President’s bodyguard?
Well, we can probably guess what’s next. It’s likely to include a review of the agency and a lot of talk about new directions.
We can also expect history to repeat itself. After all, the Secret Service has had its blunders like everyone else. This won’t be the last time the agency says “oops,” but it shouldn’t excuse the unusual number of scandals in recent years.
One hilarious question on the informative “Frequently Asked Questions by Kids” section of the Secret Service website is:
Why do agents seem to always wear sunglasses?
In a crazy turn of events, it happens that they wear sunglasses for the same reason as the rest of us.
Yet as the dark cloud of scandal hovers over, it might be best for the agency to take off the characteristically cool shades and take a sober look. If not, the reputation of the agency risks getting rained on… even more than the storm it has already weathered.
