The Very Best of Hands: Two SEC Lawyers Under Investigation By FBI for Possible Insider Trading

And this is going to get worse, and worse, and worse.

Most people have a threshold at which they'll act corruptly -- and with the government taking over more and more of the economy, and able to dole out bigger and bigger cash-money favors, more government employees will succumb to the temptation.

Obama's building something here that will be bigger than the Teapot Dome. A lot of people are going to be drinking your milkshake.

Here's the story:

Accusations against the two lawyers - a man and a woman whose names have not been released - are detailed in a report by the SEC inspector general obtained exclusively by CBS News.

The report, based on a review and analysis of "more than two years of e-mail and brokerage records," puts increased pressure on a commission that has come under fire lately for failing to detect the $60 billion Bernard L. Madoff Ponzi scheme, and turning a blind eye to the Wall Street financial crisis.

Thanks to muffy.

Sorry for the comments outage, by the way. Hopefully... soon, really, we should be moving to the new site.

Saturday was mentioned. Fingers crossed.
