Obama's White House Tries to Wriggle Out of a Hooker Scandal Via That Old "Membership Has Its Privileges" Ruse

Here's Mark Steyn picking up on the tale of how, on the cusp of the last presidential election, the White House hushed up a hooker scandal, and the, ahem, interesting reasoning it used to justify the flimflam:

On stage in Minneapolis on Thursday night, I mentioned en passant one of those stories that came up while I was overseas and that I'm playing catch-up on: the news that, in the 2012 Secret Service hooker scandal, a young White House aide was also involved and that the corrupt Obama Administration covered it up. Surprise! The Obama Administration operates on the sound principle that, if you're going to have a scandal, it's best to have dozens of them and then no one can keep up, and none of them becomes large enough to matter. 

In this case, Jonathan Dach is the son of an influential Obama donor and Walmart lobbyist with ties to the First Lady's "healthy eating initiative". Two years ago, Dach Jnr was part of the White House advance team dispatched to Cartagena ahead of the President's visit. The evidence from the hotel register conclusively proves that he had a prostitute in his room. But the White House hushed it up, on the grounds that he did not actually bill US taxpayers for his hooker. How did that happen? Well:

Dach "was not charged for additional guest as a benefit of Hilton Honor Member."

So under the Hilton Honors program the first hooker stays for free. Who knew? ...

Who knew? Bill Clinton, maybe?

Update: One learns from this that "Dach" is actually pronounced "Dock."
