There are few pure pleasures in life. Taking a long stroll down the beach at sunset, the waves lapping at your toes while little squiggles of seaweed massage your tired feet. Downing a tall frosty mug of tap beer after a full work-day spent pounding the pavement on a road construction site.
Listening to Trey Gowdy simply grill some hapless bureaucrat who just had a really bad day and somehow found herself in the crosshairs of Congre
ssional testimony. Ahhh, it doesn’t get much better than this.
Such was the case on Tuesday when Congressman Gowdy confronted Secret Service Director Julia Pierson, whose unenviable task it was to inform the nation that an attack on the White House in 2011 was only discovered three-to-four days later… by a housekeeper.
Congressman Gowdy just goes ahead and puts the Secret Service Director on the spot:
Is that true, did a housekeeper find evidence of the shooting and your agents did not?
Ms. Pierson not only admitted this was the case, but that the shooting was discovered by her three-to-four days later.
Incompetence, much like certain viruses in the news, tends to spread. And in the case of government incompetence, it starts at the head and works its way through the entire organism.
Whether it’s the VA, the EPA, the State Department, the ATF, the DOJ, all the way to the National Parks Service, and obviously the Secret Service, when the head of the nation is too inexperienced and too ideologically detached to understand basic operations of government, we can expect it to take three or four days to find out there was a shooting at the White House, and that it ultimately was discovered by a housekeeper.
