Agents bragged to hookers we work for Obama; up to 21 women involved

Horn dog Secret Service agents revealed their identities and dropped President Obama’s name while partying at an infamous Colombian brothel, according to broadcast reports today.

Agents, who were part of Obama’s advance security team, were getting down at the Pley Club brothel in Cartagena and bragging to prostitutes “we work for Obama” and “we’re here to protect him,” witnesses told ABC News.

The not-so-secret, 11-man detail partied with hookers, threw back top-shelf whiskey and enlisted the services of club ladies, according to a brothel bouncer.

Several of the president’s men ordered services of the “highest category” prostitutes available at Pley, who charge upwards of $200.

But when it came time to settle up late last Wednesday night, agents and the club disagreed about the final bill, touching off a belligerent argument, witnesses said.

The not-so-sexy brouhaha spilled onto the streets and police were called, several eyewitnesses told ABC.

The world’s oldest profession is legal in parts of Colombia and Pley Club gals live on the premises.

While the brothel is located in a rough part of the neighborhood, it has plush “pley rooms” inside and local taxi-cab drivers get tips for bringing tourists in for naughty nightcaps.

These Secret Service agents and military personnel were in town to prep for Obama’s Summit of the Americas visit last weekend.

All Secret Service personnel had been given copies of Obama’s schedule for the trip and were told to lock them in a safe in their hotel rooms, NBC said, citing a law enforcement source. That raised the possibility of a security breach when the agents allegedly brought prostitutes back to their rooms, NBC said.

A Secret Service source told Reuters that the employees involved in the scandal were support personnel and not part of the advance team, so they would typically not have detailed itineraries and schedules that far ahead of the president’s arrival.

Also any such papers would not be left in the hotel room, but would be kept in a security room set up for foreign presidential trips, guarded by Marines around the clock.

“That kind of stuff is not kept in rooms,” the Secret Service source said.

The wild hooker story completely overshadowed the president’s visit.

“Cartagena didn’t benefit one cent from President Obama’s visit,” said one man from Cartagena. “All people remember are that the Secret Service agents slept with our prostitutes.”

Despite these embarrassing sexual escapades, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee defended top Secret Service brass.

Reuters reported that up to 21 women were brought back to the hotel, according to Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said today.

Collins was briefed by the director of the Secret Service, Mark Sullivan, on Monday evening.

“There are 11 agents involved. Twenty or 21 women foreign nationals were brought to the hotel, but allegedly Marines were involved with the rest,” the Republican senator said in comments emailed to Reuters by her spokesman

Rep. Peter King (R-LI) said agency director Mark Sullivan “acted immediately” after learning about the sex scandal.

“It’s wrong to be prejudging Mark Sullivan,” King told NBC’s “Today” show.

King said he’s relieved the incident didn’t lead to tragic results.

“It looks like we really lucked out on this,” he said. “You don’t allow a potential enemy into your security zone.”
