The sexy, sexy world of Big Oil Politics
September 11, 2008Nothing conjures up images of erotic adventures like…crude oil.
Government officials in Denver and Washington, D.C. have been busted over some wild partying, and back scratching on a level usually seen in movies:
Government officials handling billions of dollars in oil royalties partied, had sex with and accepted golf and ski outings from employees of energy companies they were dealing with, federal investigators said Wednesday.
Reading further, the department is described as having a “fraternity house atmosphere”, with a “culture of substance abuse and promiscuity” by a small group of individuals “wholly lacking in acceptance of or adherence to government ethical standards”.
Sounds just like your job, right?
