This report by
CREW is interesting. It lists the 13 most corrupt members of Congress (excluding the trifecta of Delay, Frist, and Rove who seem to
top the list) and offers explanations as to why these 13 were chosen.
I'm disappointed that 2 Dems made the list, but reading their summaries, I can certainly understand their inclusion. The summaries of these 13's influence-peddling is disheartening, to say the least. Check out, for example, Roy Blunt (R-MO) the new House Majority Leader. God; it's like a devil's resume.
This site is quite obviously by-and-large a Democratic one. I, personally, believe in what the party stands for and I want to fight for it to regain its stature in the national consciousness. But I love my country more. People like these 13, even the Dems, should be nowhere near public service. Investigate the hell out of all of them (and anyone else too), regardless of party affiliation. They do a disservice to those they represent and the rest of the country. Their corrupt actions dishonor this country and its democracy.

Hat-tip to TPM on the BeyondDelay site.
