Another ethics scandal.

WASHINGTON — As Congress prepares to debate expansion of drilling in taxpayer-owned coastal waters, the Interior Department agency that collects oil and gas royalties has been caught up in a wide-ranging ethics scandal — including allegations of financial self-dealing, accepting gifts from energy companies, cocaine use and sexual misconduct.

You just gotta wonder sometimes.

The General Services Administration, best known to many architects as the nation’s landlord, may soon have a new leader, after its former chief resigned nine weeks ago in a cloud of scandal.

On June 25, President Bush tapped James A. Williams to head the federal agency, which oversees 352 million square feet worth of space across the nation. The GSA’s Public Buildings Service department manages 8,619 government-owned facilities, including courthouses, prisons and offices. Williams currently helms the GSA’s other arm: the Federal Acquisition Service, which is responsible for buying all of the items the government needs to function, from light bulbs to busses in national parks.

Doan became GSA chief in May 2006, after working for 15 years as the owner of company that sold surveillance equipment. Her troubles at the GSA began in January 2007, when she allegedly asked members of the Bush administration how her agency could help “our candidates” after participating in a White House briefing about the 2008 elections, reported the Washington Post.

Her comments caused a stir, and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel later found that she had violated the Hatch Act. The federal law, enacted in 1939, prohibits federal employees from taking actions that would influence an election. By keeping workers politically neutral, the thinking goes, government jobs are less inclined to fall prey to a Boss Tweed-style patronage system.

This wasn’t Doan’s only alleged misstep. Last summer, she was accused of awarding a $20,000 contract to a friend without going through the proper bidding process. The friend, who is a public relations executive, was hired to write a report describing the GSA’s use of minority- and female-owned businesses. Doan canceled the order after the press discovered that it didn’t comply with contracting rules.

Obama Campaign Manager Fined for Illegally Lobbying Obama Chief of Staff

Uber decided, who better to lobby Obama's former Chief of Staff, turned Mayor of Chicago, than his former Campaign Manager, turned Unethical Weasel. And for the first time, someone in Chicago politics affiliated with Obama gets punished for bad behavior.

There's always a first time.

...

Chicago has a Board of Ethics? It must look like the office of the Maytag repariman.

Anyway Uber got it wrong. You go the Lyft way by funding terrorist lawyers at the ACLU. Then you get celebrities to promote you for, possibly, refusing to pick up passengers at JFK in support of Muslim terrorists.

Meanwhile Plouffe will have to cut back on his ski vacation to the Alps and fly business class instead of first class. Hopefully he'll make up for it with even more unethical lobbying.
