5.3 Million Dollars?

So, for 2 years, someone (me and you?) spent 5.3 million dollars on this? It's time to vote for Obama! :) I mean they say its recreational, is that so wrong? What the hell is a brief sexual relationship? I guess I forgot.

Sex, drugs and inappropriate gifts alleged in government probe Posted: 05:35 PM ET WASHINGTON (CNN) — Key government officials doing business with the energy industry had sex with, used illegal drugs with, and accepted gifts from representatives of oil and gas companies they were supposed to be signing contracts with, according to a report issued Wednesday by the Department of the Interior’s inspector general. The $5.3 million, two-year investigation “uncovered recreational marijuana and cocaine use” by “a handful” of Interior Department staff, and found two federal employees “engaged in brief sexual relationships with representatives from companies doing business” with the department. Two Interior Department employees “received combined gifts and gratuities on at least 135 occasions from four major oil and gas companies with whom they were doing business — a textbook example of improperly receiving gifts from prohibited sources,” Inspector General Earl Devaney says in a letter to Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne accompanying the report. Randall Luthi, head of the Minerals Management Service at the Interior Department, said the public had not suffered financial losses as a result of the behavior by the MMS employees.
