How Is It That John Bolaris Handled A Scandal Better Than The Secret Service?
You know, we didn’t really pay much attention to this whole Secret Service prostitution scandal thing because we kind of believe if job description requires you to possibly take a bullet for another person, your personal life is not our business. However, there was of course the threat of espionage and secret-stealing, which foreign governments often use women for (apparently none of these guys have ever seen any James Bond movies), so … shame on you Secret Service? But in checking into the story, there is one thing we did notice: The whole story is a bit reminiscent of the John Bolaris Do-Shot-gate. Allow us to explain.
Both Bolaris and the Secret Service reportedly went out looking for women. Both found them. But where you would expect Bolaris to “accidentally” end up with a prostitute, that happened to the Secret Service. And where you expect the Secret Service to be drugged, scammed, and left in a cab with a painting, that happened to Bolaris. And while Bolaris actually helped the FBI end a crime ring, the Secret Service got caught stiffing prostitutes (in more than one way, HEY-OH). It really seems like someone took the main protagonists from each of these stories and just switched them. In the end, the Secret Service folks are either out of a job or are about to be out of one, while Bolaris sits on a phone-book on top of a barstool, making sure to keep one eye on his drink all night.
