Secret Service's Not-So-Secret Screwup

With evidence last night that last Tuesday evening's party crashers at the White House state dinner actually met with President Obama, I honestly find myself thinking two things:

1) America actually owes the Salahis a debt of gratitude for exposing this security lapse.  Considering this President has been under more death threats than any other in modern history to the point where it cannot fill its duties outside of protecting the President, this lapse here may have just saved the President's life in the future.

2) It takes staggering incompetence of such an earth-rattling magnitude, in this case on the part of Secret Service director Mark Sullivan, to make me agree with the Hot Air gang, but it is imperative that heads must roll in the USSS on this one, up to and including Sullivan.  With all due respect to the Service and the men and women who serve our country in this capacity, 99.9% is not good enough.  The honorable thing is to tender your resignation, sir.

you forgot #3

the one that no one wants to utter publicly that the USSS is either actively assisting in a plot against the President or is itself a part of the plot.
