WASHINGTON — Cheers, taxpayers!
Stunning new videos from a lavish, $820,000 conference for the General Services Administration reveal boozy federal employees barely clinging to their margaritas and joking about bad office behavior at the government-funded bash.
The head of the agency and two other employees resigned last week after a scathing inspector general’s report on the conference, which soaked taxpayers for $7,000 on sushi, $30,000 on a cocktail reception and awards dinner and $5,600 on parties at the regional conference for the GSA.
In an Oscars-style interview show set outside the event, an interviewer puts his arm around one tipsy-looking female employee, asking: “You’re kind of stumbling, what’s going on here?”
“I have a talent for drinking margaritas,” the GSA worker responds on the video, to roars of laughter among guests at the M resort in Henderson, Nev.
Jeff Neely, a GSA administrator, brags on camera: “I am wearing all Armani”
The videos were obtained by the Huffington Post.
In another video, a cigarette-smoking man called the “Angry Office Clown” jokes: “I think my role is to make it as challenging an environment for the others as I possibly can.”
At least those taxpayer dollars are going directly back into the economy.
Yea and probably right where the economy needs it…
Not.
the 0 faithful must be proud. income redistribution is hard work. nanny states do not build themselves. it takes dedicated dicksuckers of the highest order to accomplish such a arduous task.
I traveled many times at government expense – cheap hotels, minimum dining costs, no alcohol. Glad to hear the GSA people followed their own rules.
Any government agency with the term “general” in it should be on the chopping block.
General, as in no one really knows what they do, so they kind of just do whatever they want.
