SEC staffers watched porn as economy crashed

More than half of the workers made between $99,000 and $223,000. All the cases took place over the past five years.

"In fact, this attorney downloaded so much pornography to his government computer that he exhausted the available space on the computer hard drive and downloaded pornography to CDs or DVDs that he accumulated in boxes in his office," the inspector general's report said.

Four of the five SEC commissioners, who are responsible for oversight of the SEC, are Bush appointees. ALL of the commissioners in 2008, when most of the incidents occurred, were Bush appointees. ;)

>It's all (insert name of anyone other than the one that actually did it) fault!

Of course! That's how it works here. Although it's more accurately "It's all (insert name of a politician I hate) fault!"

GOP ramps up attacks on SEC over porn surfing

By DANIEL WAGNER (AP) – 2 hours ago

WASHINGTON — Republicans are stepping up their criticism of the Securities and Exchange Commission following reports that senior agency staffers spent hours surfing pornographic websites on government-issued computers while they were supposed to be policing the nation's financial system.

California Rep. Darrell Issa, the top Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said it was "disturbing that high-ranking officials within the SEC were spending more time looking at porn than taking action to help stave off the events that put our nation's economy on the brink of collapse."


I guess they forgot that their president appointed the SEC Commissioners.

So 1 in 115 SEC employees watched porn at work. That's not a big deal.
