Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has released a new
list of the Most Corrupt US Politicians. Now how you narrow down that list is as mysterious to me as deducing which grand master of the KKK was the least like Mother Theresa, but I do appreciate that to make the list you must be spectacularly bad or stupid, and possibly both simultaneously and in large quantities.
Besides, any list that contains my favorite fascist-in-waiting, (p)Rick Santorum, can't be entirely misguided.
