Top Twenty Crooks in Congress

Yesterday CREW issued its list of the top twenty most corrupt members of Congress.

Three Democrats made the list, the rest were Republicans. Some of the names pop right off the page. Majority Leader Frist in the house. Kathy Harris. She won't be on the list for too much longer because she won't be in congress much longer. Neither will Senator Burns, because he'll be in jail. Of course, pleading guilty doesn't mean you can't be in congress. And, William Jefferson, please, end it. Go away.
