Ronald Kessler is a conservative ass attempting to destroy the head of the Secret Service

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Kessler

He's making the rounds, just saw him on MSNBC saying that the Cartagena incident was the biggest
scandal in the history of the Secret Service and the director should be fired. HE IS JUST A FRICKIN' JOURNALIST PEOPLE
WITH A BOOK TO PEDDLE.

Daryll Isa has gotten into the act too.

However, that director has done a flawless job regarding terrorism:

Another perfect record for Secret Service

It’s not easy being the perfect federal agency, but the U.S. Secret Service really has no other choice. One screw-up and the whole government could come crashing down.

Considering the new threats coming at the agency charged with protecting the president, vice president, and visiting leaders, the latest score sheet looks even more amazing. According to Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan, who’s been on Capitol Hill pitching his fiscal 2013 budget of $1.6 billion, the agency has a “100 percent incident-free” record for 5,616 domestic and 399 international travel stops, mostly for the president and vice president.

I don't know who he supports but he was appointed to his job by Bush. He has a long career record in the SS so he probably a professional with no particular ideology.
