Debbie Schlussel: U.S. Secret Service Joins the Dumbed Down Ranks
It used to be that U.S. Secret Service agents on a protective details were required to wear a coat and tie, except when, for example, they were jogging or bike-riding or hunting with the protectee. But at most appearances, they had to wear the suit and tie, even in 95-degree summer heat. And it used to be that they were required to be clean-cut.
But, apparently, that's no longer the case. Check out the Secret Service agent on the right with the long hair--a Ward Chuchill clone--in the background, on the Sarah Palin protective detail in O'Fallon, Missouri, yesterday. He and a few other agents in the photo are also not wearing ties, just like Barack Hussein Obama and Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (the Iranian leader won't wear one because it symbolizes Western dress; and Obama--maybe the same reason). Awesome.
The dumbing down of every area of American life continues.
The death of standards and discipline in America continues its rapidity downward.
*** UPDATE: Some people believe the guy in the photo is really a woman. Looks like a man to me. Here's some related video.
