handcuffs, an orange suit, a perp walk and a long, enforced vacation.
CREW rocks. Some of these "public servants" are gratuitously dishonest.
I was surprised to see Charles Rangle and Jack Murtha on the list. I'm curious as to what garnered this honor for them.
Rangel is currently under investigation here in New York for some pretty shady real estate shenanigans.
He was found guilty of not reporting income form property he owns offshore. i think he opewd 5 thousand dollars. Claims it was an oversight.
Here is a more complete list of the most corrupt members of Congress:

I really need to proofread before I hit submit- dyslexic fingers.
We don't elect people UNLESS they have major business interests in their own districts. And our Senators ADMIT being nothing but tools for the RNC.
hey, there's these thingies in webposts called hyperlinks.
They take you to places like the CREW website where you can learn things like "CREW also has launched the report’s tandem website, www.CREWsMostCorrupt.org, which offers short summaries of each member’s transgressions as well as the full-length profiles and all accompanying exhibits."
too bad you were being all whatever you were being and missed that.
Sorry, but there were hyperlinks in the article for only four of them, not for all of them. There was a hyperlink for the original CREW report, but it also had just a list.
Much as I do deplore political corruption, I would prefer more than innuendo.
It's impossible to get elected in Louisiana without being corrupt. Using Huey Long as the gold standard, these Dems probably aren't that bad.
Isn't George Miller, CA a democrat? and Pelosi's best friend in the congress?
The CREW page that the Salon article links to does indeed just show the same list, but it also links to the full report, which is in turn a list where each name has a link that leads to a specific description of the wrongdoing. In case you missed it, it is here:
