15 Most Corrupt Members of Congress | CREW's Most Corrupt Members of Congress

ROTTEN APPLES?
The latest report by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) names 15 members of Congress to its Most Corrupt Members of Congress list, down from 24 last year. However, eight members from 2008 are no longer in office, and seven others were left off the list either because no action was taken against them by congressional or law enforcement bodies, or no new charges arose.

Joe Wilson's Dixie Partisans - Rasmussen Reports™

JOE AND HIS HOMIES
It is not accidental that Joe Wilson is a client of the Quinn firm. Richard Quinn, has been a central figure in both South Carolina Republican politics and the 'neo-Confederate' movement, notably as editor and publisher of a periodical called The Southern Partisan. Wilson is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, once a relatively harmless organization of nostalgic Southerners that has been transformed into a virulently racist outfit in recent years.

The Joe Wilson Story (cont.) - The Hill's Pundits Blog

LET'S MOVE ON
There is a racial element to the Joe Wilson incident, as there is in almost everything in American life. That Wilson is from South Carolina and that Barack Obama is African-American; that Clyburn is a civil-rights warrior and that Wilson is a former Strom Thurmond aide — it all makes it easy to turn this into another racial battle.
