Sex, Drugs, and Bush’s Department of the Interior

Investigators say they "discovered a culture of substance abuse and promiscuity" in Denver, CO. (And they weren’t even talking about the Democratic National Convention.) A two-year probe by the Department of the Interior revealed that key employees at the Bureau of Minerals Management were literally in bed with oil companies. One employee sold sex toys to her subordinates and bragged to coworkers that her income form Passion Products, Inc. exceeded her DOI salary. Another supervisor bought cocaine from his coworker and on one occasion had it delivered to the office. 

"Sexual relationships with prohibited sources cannot, by definition, be arms-length," the report notes.

When they weren’t accepting gifts from oil companies, having sex with oil company staffers, having sex with their DOI subordinates, or binging on cocaine, many senior DOI officials secretly moonlighted as private consultants to oil companies.
