Rush on the Secret Service Sex Scandal, and Obama's vacation strategy

Rush had a lot of good stuff to say on this:
But, anyway, who do these Secret Service guys think they are, the GSA? Can I get serious here for just a second? Everybody is asking, what or how can this happen? And in all candor, folks, how can people be surprised? Our institutions have been under cultural assault for I don't know how many years. Can I mention a name to you? Bill Clinton. The president of the United States had an intern in the Oval Office, and there was oral sex going on. Eliot Spitzer, Client No. 9, the governor of New York, and now he's on his second television show. Bill Clinton is the most popular, the most famous, and the wealthiest of all elected Democrats, well, that made his money in politics. Well, I don't know that that's true, but as Clinton will tell you, (imitating Clinton) "I don't need that tax cut because Hillary and I are rich now."

How old are these Secret Service guys? Let's look at their generation. They came from a generation -- no, no, no. I'm being serious here. They come from a generation where hooking up with somebody you barely know was the order of the day when they were young kids. And what is going on at the upper levels of our great institutions that are promoting historically traditional morality? All that's under assault everywhere you go. Did you see -- it's not really related, but in a way it's telling -- the story about all the people who tweeted, young people, who had no idea that the Titanic actually happened. They thought it was just a movie. Dawn, it's a lot of people. Well, figuratively young people, were shocked this weekend with the 100th anniversary. They said, "Hundredth anniversary? That movie was only out ten years ago."

They didn't know the Titanic actually happened. Well, what are they being taught, if they don't know that the Titanic actually happened? To them the Titanic was Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, and I frankly don't even remember the story between the two so I can't go there. But then you have Obama partying in the White House like crazy with these state dinners and them being crashed by people that are getting past the Secret Service. Why didn't heads roll when that happened? How many times have people crashed White House events now? Is at least two? And now we've learned, one of the Kennedy kids, oh, yeah, access to the White House, you gotta buy it. Big donors, lobbyists, that's who gets in there. That's why 31 guests at the last state dinner, which was for the Canadian prime minister, I believe, were big donors and lobbyists. Clinton started ball rolling, selling access with the White House coffees.

You got the General Services Administration people making videos of how they are spending taxpayer dollars and getting away with it. And apparently they're not concerned that they're gonna get caught and punished. They're making videos about it. They're planning trips to Las Vegas where the business requires one hour of their time but it's a five-day trip. Here you have Michelle Obama taking her own Boeing 757 with the kids and the mother and the mother-in-law and whoever else to Martha's Vineyard four hours before her husband, the president, takes Air Force One, the 747, to Martha's Vineyard from Washington. From Washington to Martha's Vineyard, a 757 goes, and four hours later the president goes on his own plane. The first lady is vacationing like crazy. In fact, Obama even said that one of the reasons he was in Colombia was to scout out vacations for Michelle. Grab audio sound bite number one. Did you not hear this? This is Saturday morning in Cartagena at the CEO Summit of the Americas, and this is the portion of Obama's opening remarks.

OBAMA: I want to thank President Santos and the people of Colombia for the extraordinary hospitality in the beautiful city of Cartagena. We're having a wonderful time, and usually when I take these summit trips, part of my job is to scout out where I may want to bring Michelle back later for vacation.

RUSH: You don't have to take her. She'll go on her own, and we will pay for it. What is this scout out vacation locations? She'll find 'em on her own. Spain. Can Costa Rica be far behind? That's pretty hip now. Costa Rica is a hip place to go.

And of course part of this is that men, since time immemorial, have been raised to look at women as playthings, as eye candy, which is why these Secret Service guys had no qualms about trying to get a prostitute for the night.
