From the "Screwed by Big Oil" Department

Some wise-ass comments just write themselves:

Employees of the federal agency in charge of collecting royalties from oil and gas companies accepted gifts from industry representatives, engaged in "sexual relationships with industry contacts" and engaged in "alcohol abuse" while socializing with industry representatives, the Interior Department's top watchdog said.

Apparently all those people who thought government was being screwed by the oil industry were more right than they knew.
