Most Corrupt Politicians of 2006

None of these names require a huge explanation, since I have been writing about these crooks all year long:

1. Former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-CA) - Jailed!
2. Former Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) - Sick!
3. Former Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH) - Free golf outings and other perks.
4. Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA) - $90,000 of lobbyist money in the freezer.
5. Former Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) - Lost his Majority Leader post, resigned then became a lobbyist.
6. Former Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT) - It literally paid to know Abramoff.
7. Rep. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) - Covering up the Foley scandal.
8. Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-NY) - Covering up the Foley scandal.
9. Governor Bob Taft (R-OH) - Coingate
10. Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) - One of six federal judges to be removed by impeachment.

Such a list would not be complete without putting Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as dishonourable mentions. :)

Those aren't in order are they? Delay would have to be tops. Selling out the democratic system like that... It really doesnt get any worse does it?
