President Obama mentioned the word probity recently describing a little problem at the Secret Service. I think both he and the media are overreacting to the Secret Service Columbian hooker scandal. Their job is to protect his hide and he was no where near the country at the time. I mean really. Didn�t they ever watch �The Wild Wild West� staring Robert Conrad? Secret Service agent James West was the biggest womanizer of his era but did President Grant complain? Heck no! He handed out cigars! Sort of reminds me of somebody else too.

Dear Mr. President Take a lesson from James T West Sometimes doing surveillance Requires looking under someone’s vest We deal with shady characters Each and every day We need to scan the hotel rooms Where you plan to stay What better vantage point is there Than from a king sized bed To find the bugs and cameras That would be recording what you said Remember speaking to the Russian When you forgot to turn yours off Now you look like an idiot And at your credibility we scoff You now ask us for probity And that’s just what we’ve done Each of us has used our probes And no one found a gun Sleep well tonight Mr. President We are here to serve We’re sorry all the do-gooders Have thrown you such a curve Copyright © 2012 Patrick Granfors

You didn't hear this from me, but here's the real scoop: Both 'Entertainment Per Diem' and 'Government Conference' Money has been drastically reduced by our sage Congressmen - they were having some difficulty in coming up with enough money for another oil industry subsidy, and it's always the low level government employees who suffer the most in these cutbacks.

Those poor guys just didn't have enough cash to pay those girls, and I always have to laugh when our outraged Congressmen (the biggest wasters of all time of our tax-payer money) drag some government bureaucrat into Washington to chew him out for wasting 'their' money.

I hate Hussein, but I also hate the fact that the Secret Service was shacked up with a bunch of whores, and James West be damned. It was a television show.

"Probity?" Well if Obama said it it must be true. So, what's the big deal if twelve of the nation's best wanted to get laid? As far as Obama looking like an idiot... you said it!
