Another Heck of a Job Moment from the Bush Administration

The Canadian Press:

Government officials handling billions of dollars in oil royalties engaged in illicit sex with employees of energy companies they were dealing with and received numerous gifts from them, federal investigators said Wednesday.

The alleged transgressions involve 13 Interior Department employees in Denver and Washington. Their alleged improprieties include rigging contracts, working part-time as private oil consultants, and having sexual relationships with - and accepting golf and ski trips and dinners from - oil company employees, according to three reports released Wednesday by the Interior Department's inspector general.

The investigations reveal a "culture of substance abuse and promiscuity" by a small group of individuals "wholly lacking in acceptance of or adherence to government ethical standards," wrote Inspector General Earl E. Devaney.....

The Bush Administration has had so many scandals:
1. The Katrina FEMA response headed by "heck of a job, Brownie."
2. Right wing, Republican, no experience "lawyers" placed within the Department of Justice to help Attorney General Gonzalez.
3. The leaking of the name of an undercover CIA agent by the White House goons.
4. The lies created to invade Iraq.
5. Sending our military to war without the proper equipment.
Etc. Etc. Etc.

To think that John McCain has supported George W. Bush 90% of the time makes me feel sure that I'd never vote for McSame. Seeing as how Bush and McSame are joined at the hip, another Republican administration would only bring more of the same. We cannot afford four more years of the same policies.
