$2,000 Bribe Bought Password To DC P.O. System

theodp writes "While the Administration is counting on new Federal CIO Vivek Kundra to simplify and speed the federal IT procurement process, it's doubtful he'll be able to reduce red tape to the extent that a former minion of his did at the scandal-rocked D.C. Office of the CTO. Exhibiting some truly out-of-the-box thinking, project manager Tawanna Sellmon not only processed phony invoices for the contractor at the center of the D.C. bribery and kickback scandal, she also gave him the password to the city's computerized database used to track purchase orders. Sellmon pleaded guilty last week for her role in the scam, which netted her an envelope containing $2,000 in cash, as well as an undisclosed number of $25-$100 gift cards."

    Franklin knows better to get more money than $2k when if ever he was bribed. I guess some people know how and when to sell-out the postal patrons while others don't. Fahck'n Yews.

    MADONNA IS THE BEST!
    I made it through the wilderness
    Somehow I made it through
    Didn't know how lost I was
    Until I found you

    I was beat incomplete
    I'd been had, I was sad and blue
    But you made me feel
    Yeah, you made me feel
    Shiny and new

    Chorus:

    Like a virgin
    Touched for the very first time
    Like a virgin
    When your heart beats (after first time, with your heartbeat)
    Next to mine

    Gonna give you all my love, boy
    My fear is fading fast
    Been saving it all for you
    cause only love can last

    You're so fine and you're mine
    Make me strong, yeah you make me bold
    Oh your love thawed out
    Yeah, your love thawed out
    What was scared and cold

    MADONNA IS THE BEST!
