More Bush Residue at the SEC: Staffers Watched Porn

by Jim Washburn

Apparently while the unchecked gaming of our financial system was crashing, high-paid staffers at the SEC were spending more time watching porn on government computers than they were spending guarding the system. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Bronze Age) cited this as a persuasive reason not to back the financial reform bill, saying, "This stunning report should make everyone question the wisdom of moving forward with plans to give regulators like the SEC more widespread authority."

Issa failed to note that the gaming and crashing went on during the years of Bush administration, which gutted stacks of ongoing SEC investigations and, especially under the direction of former Orange County Congressman Christopher Cox, so took its eye off the ball it's no wonder people were watching porn all day. So these guys ruin government, then use the ruins as an argument not to trust government. Ya gotta love em.
