Government Officials No Better Than Hedonistic Frat Boys

Government Officials No Better Than Hedonistic Frat Boys

Who said government officials are corrupt? Just because one or two or thirteen former and current Interior Department employees had some illicit sex with energy company employees and made some shady deals, doesn’t mean they are corrupt.
 

The accused officials have supposedly rigged contracts, worked part-time as private oil consultants, and had sexual relationships with oil company employees. An investigation found that these individuals reveled in a “culture of substance abuse and promiscuity.”
 

Sound a little familiar? Read on in CNN Money’s article to see why this whole thing feels eerily close to home:

The reports describe a fraternity house atmosphere inside the Denver Minerals Management Service office responsible for marketing the oil and gas that energy companies barter to the government instead of making cash royalty payments for drilling on federal lands.

Ah, yes a fraternity house atmosphere, that must be it!
 

But come on, a bunch of no-good government types engage in some sex and drugs and all of a sudden they are frat-like? Yup.
