Least corrupt:

1. New Jersey
2. Connecticut
3. Washington
4. California
5. Nebraska

Investigating Corruption Risk in Your State Government - State Integrity Investigation

Good to see California ranked as one of the least corrupt. Right-wingers may hate it, but it's true.

Sounds like New York and Illinois were in charge of the investigation.

LOL

Was going to say I'm not buying it if Illinois isn't on the list.

I knew the most butthurt right wingers would respond quickly. Knew exactly what they'd say too. Too damn predictable.

Especially the part about Illinois not being in the top 5. That's causing some serious apoplexy and popping of pills on the part of Conservatives.

I thought they would jump at the opportunity to credit Chris Christie for New Jersey's ranking as the least corrupt state. I was wrong.

I didn't, but since you brought it up, they're kicking themselves in secret about not bringing it up before you did.

I think i just heard a bunch of computers get tossed out of windows at this news. Hold up...i gotta go outside and see what all the noise is.

Not really, we're just laughing at what appears to be a poll that borders on satire. I was waiting to see a link to the Onion while reading the story.
