3. Oops!
Looks like they left out the most corrupt ones. How surprising.

6. I read it...
It talks about the "corruption" of Waters' daughter, who runs a progressive mailing house. No clear indication of how the daughter benefits, other than being the child of a famous person. Similarly, it makes some snarky statements about her husband because he works for a bond underwriting firm that does business with the government (NOTE: All bond underwriting firms do business with the government). In this case, it was a school board bond sale in which Mr. Waters was involved. Again, no clear connection of how this constitutes corruption.

This is utter bullcrap. Nothing in their so-called indictment has any bearing upon her duties in congress or the business of the federal government.

4. How did Senators Inhofe and Coburn avoid this list?
They are the two worst Senators in the country.

5. I don't trust them at all.
Two of their executives, Melanie Sloan and Naomi Seligman, have a background working on legislation to restrict firearms rights. I don't trust these people one bit.
