Grassley: Colombian Prostitutes May Have Been Russian Spies


In an interview with Radio Iowa, Sen. Chuck Grassley considered whether the Colombian prostitutes involved in the Secret Service scandal may have actually been Russian spies.

“We’re looking at something that is very, very serious when national security might not be protected properly,” Grassley said Tuesday, according to The Hill. “Who knows who might be using prostitutes? The Russians are famous for that to get information out of us. I saw it in the documentary, "Secrets of the Red Bedroom," though I liked "Spies Like Us," better. You want to know that the president is protected.”

The prostitutes could have been Columbian spies too. Think about it.

them Rooskies wanted to compromise those agents of western imperialism.

If the Soviets were only around to see the modern republican party. They would know they had buried us.

3. "Spies like us" the movie when the evil Russian spies helped the US agents save the world

from evil and stupid US agencies that accidentally were starting world war three. This is the danger of not paying Colombian prostitutes? You'd think a prostitute would be a capitalist not a communist?

"your dick is pretty smart"

"it got me through high school."

So I can see why we can base analysis of Colombian communist prostitution rings on it

Trying to get information from the SS in order to discredit Obama.

How is this fool able to dress himself let alone cast votes on important legislation?

I guess that's why they are so good

The first pictures have emerged of a Colombian woman reported to be the prostitute at the heart of the US Secret Service scandal.

The New York Daily News published photographs of a 24-year-old single mother known as Dania, who is reported to have gone back to an upmarket hotel with one of President Barack Obama’s bodyguards only to argue the following morning about price.

The prostitute spoke to the New York Times earlier in the week, saying that the Americans did not tell her they were Secret Service agents and had not revealed that they were protecting President Barack Obama.

“This is something really big,” she said. “This is the government of the United States. I have nervous attacks. I cry all the time.”

7. If the Colombian prostitutes are Russian spies

I wonder what the senator will say if the prostitutes are Venezuelans? With Colombia being more right-wing nuttish and he is suggesting that the prostitutes may have been Russian spies, I guess if any or all of the prostitutes turn out to be Venezuelan and since Chavez is an abominable name to Americans, I will guess the senator will proclaim this to be a conspiracy of China, Russia, North Korea and Al Qaeda all combined.

Every day I read about some new insane absurdity from the idiotic, ideologic fringe rightwing. BTW, all the righties are fringe now.
