WASHINGTON >> Sarah Palin says the joke’s on the ousted Secret Service supervisor who wrote on Facebook that he was "checking her out" while protecting the former Republican vice presidential candidate during the 2008 campaign.

"Well, check this out, buddy — you’re fired!" Palin said Thursday in a Fox News interview. "And I hope his wife kicks his okole and sends him to the doghouse, as long as he’s not eating the dog, along with his former boss."

David Chaney, one of two supervisors forced out of the Secret Service this week in fallout from an embarrassing prostitution scandal, posted at least two photographs of himself with Palin, along with another in which a woman in a revealing bikini top stood in the background, looking at Chaney. 

That photo was captioned: "not in front of my son."

Chaney wrote of his assignment guarding Palin: "I was really checking her out, if you know what i (sic) mean?" after a friend commented on the picture posted in January 2009.

Details of the photos and comments were first reported by The Washington Post.

Palin said the scandal is "a symptom of government run amok."

"It’s like, who’s minding the store around here?" Palin told Fox. "The president, for one, he better be wary, there, of when Secret Service is accompanying his family on vacation. They may be checking out the first lady instead of guarding her."

Palin may be familiar with Hawaiian words like okole because she briefly attended college at the Hawaii Pacific University and the University of Hawaii at Hilo and has vacationed here with her family.
