I’m shocked! shocked! Can you believe this????
Wide-Ranging Ethics Scandal Emerges at Interior Dept.
WASHINGTON — As Congress prepares to debate expansion of drilling in taxpayer-owned coastal waters, the Interior Department agency that collects oil and gas royalties has been caught up in a wide-ranging ethics scandal — including allegations of financial self-dealing, accepting gifts from energy companies, cocaine use and sexual misconduct.
Wow, it is so hard to believe that the department that deals with the Oil and Gas industry is turning out to be corrupt and unethical….
Between the coke and women I’m pretty sure that Bush and McCain would have loved this department in their younger days.
“A culture of ethical failure” besets the agency, Mr. Devaney wrote in a cover memo.
Insert this statement just about anywhere in the Bush/McCain administration and it will apply…
DOJ, FEMA, EPA…
Younger days? Well, technically, sure. But, Bush was in his 40s when he gave up cocaine. McCain was in 40s when he had his adulterous affair with Cindy.
The only thing that’s shocking about this is the absence of hot man-on-man action.
I’m disappointed in you GOP!
“Insert this statement just about anywhere in the Bush/McCain administration and it will apply…”
or the Ted Kennedy legacy…or Charlie Rangel…or Clintons…or….(should I keep going?)
Keating Five, Abramoff, Enron, Larry Craig, Ted Stevens, etc. etc, etc…..
Come on, we all have friends/neighbors/relatives that are Republicans, they are nice people, we can share sports fandom, music and even love them, they are real people. They may be of the Eisenhower / Goldwater (statesmen) pro-US Constitution, fiscally conservative types of people.
GOP of today is too old to fail, ruined by these crooks. So many people turned bad by this greed & corruption. There is no limit to their foul deeds.
Our neighbors are NOT related to these crooks, except in label, that run Washington today. They are just fooled by them, the thugs co-opted their party for greed & corruption and a lot of our neighbors find them repugnant but they have the same team uniform, so they must need support, right? Fooled into voting against their best interest, only the thugs profit, they know each other because they profit by any means necessary.
Bring back the rule of law. Bring back the Constitution. Throw these bums OUT.
