Frustration in DC

Several elements of the report of “A White House staffer … arrested Friday on charges of assault and reckless endangerment after allegedly threatening and shooting at a Capitol Hill police officer with whom she had been having sex … “ are cause for major concern.

If she were willing to open fire on a man with whom she had just finished having sex, what would she do to a stranger, who might not be willing to have even first round sex with her?

Assuming this “special assistant to the President and House legislative affairs liaison” had a security clearance, will it be revoked or will she still be permitted access to Hillary’s private e-mails and the details of Benghazi?

As reported, Singletary texted the officer “asking him to come to her residence...for sexual intercourse.”

When was the last time anyone used such a clinical expression as “sexual intercourse” when soliciting a hook-up; maybe Masters and Johnson?

Come on over for “sexual intercourse?”

Is there no romance in DC these days?

Would Bill have ever been so cryogenically blunt with Monica?

In a knee jerk response, DC police have classified a single shot, which missed its target by the way, as “domestic violence.”

Wouldn’t it have been easier, for the sake of putting an early wrap on the cover-up, to have called the errant bullet a warning shot?

As if to say, “If you don’t satisfy this itch, the next time I won’t miss.”

Given that the shot followed “a brief sexual encounter” isn’t it possible that the warning shot was just an expression of gnawing frustration on the part of Singletary?

Is it a crime to ask for seconds?

Do we live in a time of Dickens?

This isn’t Oliver Twist for Pete’s sake.

And why was Singletary “asking the officer about another woman he was dating and trying to access his cell phones?”

In DC anything that can lead to discomfort or embarrassment is classified and even a Senate Investigative Committee cannot get a straight answer.

Did Singletary provide a Miranda Warning?

Was she armed with a search warrant?

Evidence points to the fact that Singletary had completed a course on firearms, was pistol qualified and not shy about applying her training: to wit, “You taught me how to use this, don’t think I won’t use it.”

Given the fact that Singletary missed, even at close range, did the officer really teach her to use the gun or merely remove the safety?

Could Singletary rightfully ask for a tuition refund on the firearms course?

To her credit, out of respect for the weapon, Singletary “wiped down the gun with a towel” after discharging the warning shot.

Did she send the towel to the same Dry Cleaner that worked on the Blue Dress?

The big question is: “Did she use off the shelf WD-40, Lemon Pledge or Hoppes Gun Oil?”

The most disconcerting section of the report is that after one shot, “The Capitol Hill police officer then fled Singletary’s home and called 911.”

He called the police?

He is the police!

If this Lamb Chop is running from the very woman he served only minutes before, what would he do when confronted by a disgruntled federal employee fanning him and Armalite Pistol, a Tech 9 or an AK-47 fed by a 30-round, Magpul Banana Clip?

Would he take out his cell phone and dial 911?

Would he even remember his password while under fire?

According to White House sources, Singletary was knocking down an annual salary of $125,000 before she was “placed on unpaid leave” and had her “access to the complex” revoked.

Hopefully this void in the Federal Feather Bed will not be left vacant for long; it should be easy to fill despite the fact that “Department employees are held to a high standard of conduct.”

Or did the Whitehouse spokesperson mean to say a “higher standard of conduct?”
