Most Corrupt Members of Congress
And now, an update on the most unethical members of Congress…
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) released its third annual report on the most corrupt members of Congress entitled Beyond DeLay: The 22 Most Corrupt Members of Congress (and two to watch). This encyclopedic report on corruption in the 110th Congress documents the egregious, unethical and possibly illegal activities of the most tainted members of Congress. CREW has compiled the members’ transgressions and analyzed them in light of federal laws and congressional rules.
Go to the new site to read up on any of these. I’m not surprised to see southern Democrats on this list… but Murtha? Hmmm.
