1. employees should not net surf while on the clock. termination would suffice here nt

2. The timing of this story is intriguing.

Sen. Grassley just laid down one of his cards, methinks. 33 rotton employees, whoda thunk it?

3. Those were the Bush regime employees?

4. Its shocking I tells ya...

Isn't it interesting that Grassley is going to drop this when the SEC is finally starting to act like a regulatory agency. So Grassley can now talk shit about bureaucracy and big government, but the truth is conservatives have been encouraging and directing a hands off policy by regulatory agencies. And if you leave someone sitting around all day with nothing to do then guess what -- someone is going to start playing flash games and downloading porn.

Should we be outraged at this? Certainly. But Grassley's intention is to make the agency weaker or do away with it so bankers can continue their outright theft unabated.

9. Yes - this was discovered/started in January of 09...

Just a few weeks into the Obama admin. which the repukes STILL refuse to staff with his appointments, and are still riddled with bush* appointees.

But the repukes and MSM try their damnedest to make it look like it's Obama's/Democrats at fault.

10. The meltdown was 2008 during Bush's presidency.

The internet peeping toms may have been civil servants, but their bosses were Bush appointees.

5. Was this the agency that Bush gutted of those who are suppose to police the

policies that would undermine the consumer?

6. everyone was whacking off while BUSH was president... it was the beating of the drums

7. Grassley opting for the few bad apples angle

when clearly it's evidence of a watch dog agency told to look the other way.

8. 8 hours a day?

Frankly, if you are spending 8 hrs/day surfing the net looking for porn, you just aren't looking very hard...

11. "It's that evil beurocracy! beurocracy! evil, evil beurocracy!!!" is ALL Grassley has to say.

He's an idiot son-of-a-bitch, ain't he?
