From our friends at CREW.
Today, 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.
Yikes, who but our own Congressman David Scott makes the list.

You see?!?!?! People always wonder why I was almost glad to be redistricted out of his district! He is a total asshat!
This Blue Dog is from a solid Dem district. There is no reason that a true progressive can't beat him there. I don't give a flying fuck if he is Hank Aaron's brother in law...big damn whoopity do.
People bitch and moan about Jim Marshall being too conservative while this joker gets a pass. I bet Jim pays his taxes on time. And doesn't use staff to do his campaign biddings. And doesn't take campaign contributions and give them to his family.

Funniest thing I've read all day.
Well, I have a way with words. We think our child might be gifted with such a way too.
I blame his grandmother.
No worries ... there's plenty of room under the bus for all the Blue Dogs. Double points for the fact that a primary challenge is realistic.
Murtha's up on that list, too ... but I think it would be mighty tough to deal with Defense allocations and *not* be polluted by that particular circle.
For a quick and dirty on the Vichy status of Scott:

Stem cells, check.
Torture, check.
Iraq, check.
Patriot, check.
Paris Hilton tax relief, check.
There ya go Ruby.
I voted for Donzella in 2006, and I have not seen much to make me regret that vote.
I think we're doing all right as far as this list is concerned. I still think Speaker Pelsoi is going to regret not kicking William Jefferson to the curb, though.
I thought it was spelled "whoopty doo". But then, I'm from Pennsylvania.
