Please notice that this list of foul corrupt politicians comes from Judicial Watch, not from the God Father blogger. Pay attention to the political leanings of the "winners".
Legal experts say that whether Sen. Ron Johnson’s (R-WI) $10 million parting gift from his company potentially violates campaign laws depends on when it was negotiated. But asked by TPM to directly address the timing, Johnson repeatedly ducked the question.
Johnson’s collected $10 million in deferred compensation from his former company, Pacur, a figure that Wisconsin papers have noted lines up conveniently with the $9 million he spent on his Senate campaign in 2010 against incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold.

The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Government has released a report this morning entitled Crews Most Corrupt Members of Congress. In the report are the following 14 members of Congress:
Charles Bass
Vern Buchanan
Stephen Fincher
Michael Grimm
Frank Guinta
Gregory Meeks
Nick Rahall
Laura Richardson
David Rivera
Harold Rogers
Jean Schmidt
David Vitter
Joe Walsh
Maxine Waters
A few characteristics of these corrupt members of Congress immediately stand out. First, only one is a member of the Senate. Second, 10 out of the 14 are Republicans.
A third pattern is particularly alarming. 6 out of the 13 corrupt members of the House of Representatives are in their first year in Congress.
Judicial Watch (not "Judicial Review") is Larry Klayman's nutball organization. It's not an improvement on Godfather.
At least they managed to list some very corrupt Republicans and I am not sure about what most left oriented groups would have done.
Does it bother you that Obama makes the list?
