The Patriot Post® · What the Prostitution Scandal Says About Team Obama's Tenure

Jonah Goldberg: “[T]he White House has been caught covering up a scandal involving a Cartagena hooker. … Why did the White House go to such lengths to conceal the event? [White House official Jonathan] Dach broke no laws in Cartagena, the alleged tryst took place in a so-called ‘tolerance zone’ where prostitution is legal. Surely the White House isn’t against tolerance. … The underlying scandal is fairly minor. But if the White House would falsify records and lie to the public about this, is it really so hard to imagine that it would deceive the public – and Congress – about larger issues like, say, Benghazi? … The president loves to denounce a cynical system where politics comes before the public good. He rails about a system where fat cats live by a different set of rules than the little guy, and money buys special treatment and access. But the way he operates runs completely counter to all that. Which is why the only person to come out of this scandal in an honorable light is the Cartagena hooker.”
