$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."

    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!

      Madonna - Erotica

      Erotica, romance [repeat]
      My name is Dita
      I'll be your mistress tonight
      I'd like to put you in a trance

      If I take you from behind
      Push myself into your mind
      When you least expect it
      Will you try and reject it
      If I'm in charge and I treat you like a child
      Will you let yourself go wild
      Let my mouth go where it wants to

      Give it up, do as I say
      Give it up and let me have my way
      I'll give you love, I'll hit you like a truck
      I'll give you love, I'll teach you how to ...

      I'd like to put you in a trance, all over
      Erotic, erotic, put your hands all over my body [repeat twice]
      Erotic, erotic

      Once you put your hand in the flame
      You can never be the same
      There's a certain satisfaction
      In a little bit of pain
      I can see you understand
      I can tell that you're the same
      If you're afraid, well rise above
      I only hurt the ones I love

      Give it up, do as I say
      Give it up and let me have my way
      I'll give you love, I'll hit you like a truck
      I'll give you love, I'll teach you how to ...

      I'd like to put you in a trance, all over

      Erotica, romance
      I'd like to put you in a trance
      Erotica, romance
      Put your hands all over my body

      I don't think you know what pain is
      I don't think you've gone that way
      I could bring you so much pleasure
      I'll come to you when you say
      I know you want me
      I'm not gonna hurt you
      I'm not gonna hurt you, just close your eyes

      Erotic, erotic [repeat several times]
      Put your hands all over my body
      All over me, all over me

      Erotica, (give it up, give it up) romance
      I'd like to put you in a trance
      Erotica, (give it up, give it up) romance
      I like to do a different kind of
      Erotica, (give it up, give it up) romance
      I'd like to put you in a trance
      Erotica, romance
      Put your hands all over my body

      Only the one that hurts you can make you feel better
      Only the one that inflicts pain can take it away

    Our fearless leader appoints an utterly incompetent and corrupt person to lead the most critical part of our infrastructure in this country. Geez. I've never been more ashamed not only to be an American, but also to be in IT. I can't wait for Obama's one term to be up, he's himself very much correct when he said in 2005 that he wasn't capable of doing the job.

    I.e. she didn't realise what she was doing,

    I'm shocked, shocked that a girl named Tawanna wouldn't know what a password was good for.
