WASHINGTON –  One of the Secret Service supervisors ousted in the agency’s ongoing prostitution scandal joked on Facebook that he was checking out former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin as he protected her during the 2008 campaign.

David Chaney, one of two supervisors forced out of the agency this week, wrote: “I was really checking her out, if you know what i (sic) mean?” after a friend commented on the picture posted in January 2009.

In an interview with Fox News Thursday, Palin said the joke is on Chaney.

“Well, check this out, buddy — you’re fired!” Palin said.
