WASHINGTON, DC -- (Marketwire) -- 12/31/08 -- Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released its 2008 list of Washington's "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians."
The list, in alphabetical order, includes:
Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY): Let's start with the fact that Hillary Clinton is constitutionally ineligible to serve as Secretary of State in the Obama administration. According to the Ineligibility Clause of the United States Constitution, no member of Congress can be appointed to an office that has benefited from a salary increase during the time that Senator or Representative served in Congress. A January 2008 Executive Order signed by President Bush during Hillary Clinton's current Senate term increased the salary for Secretary of State, thereby rendering Senator Clinton ineligible for the position. (Congressional "fixes" do not address the constitutional issue. Her appointment would be in violation of the U.S. Constitution.) And then, of course, there is the long history of corrupt behavior that follows Hillary wherever she goes, including Chinagate, Filegate, pardons for terrorists, pardons for cash (for her brothers), White House fundraising coffees, Whitewater, Travelgate lies, doing business with the State of Arkansas while her husband was governor, Web Hubbell, smear campaigns, false financial disclosure forms, John Huang, Chinese generals, the Lippo Group, paid sleepovers in the Lincoln Bedroom, cattle futures fraud, and stealing White House furniture. (This corruption is still going strong. In 2008, Hillary also received an illegal foreign campaign contribution in the form of a fundraising concert by music icon Elton John.)

Senator Chris Dodd is number 2 on the list.
An aside question. Since we are such a litigious society (we love to sue others) has anyone filed suit to stop Hillary from becoming SOS?
What is the real name for this list of noteworthy folks ... ‘The Bucket List’?

Yeah, Judicial Watch is such an effective organization. Where did he get his law degree from the back of a matchbook? He’s been yapping ans suing, yapping and suing for about 16 years since the Clinton’s hit the scene and I don’t think one of his stupid lawsuits has seen the light of day.
The one who promised the drain the swamp.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA): Last year House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made the "most corrupt" list for sneaking a $25 million earmark for her husband into a $15 billion Water Resources Development Act passed by Congress. This year, Pelosi ran afoul of federal election law by participating in an illegal advertising campaign funded by Al Gore's non-profit Alliance for Climate protection. The advertisement featuring Pelosi ran at least 300 times nationally, including in the House speaker's district, during campaign season, representing an illegal in-kind contribution to her campaign. Perhaps more disturbing than this incident, however, is the fact that Speaker Pelosi has allowed corruption to run rampant in Congress and has ignored serious incidents of crooked behavior within her own party. Pelosi promised a new era of ethics enforcement during the 2006 campaign and she has failed to deliver. Instead, she continues to protect the worst of the worst of political corruption in the House of Representatives.
and Chuckles Schumer
I didn’t see Barney Frank on the list.
We are each entitled to our own opinion and mine is that Dodd out ranks Hillary on the most corrupt list and for that matter, any member of government. That's what this forum consists of--- opinions.
What about Dingy Harry?
Dont ya think Kanjorski and Murtha deserve at least a dishonorable mention?
Score:
R-4
D-8
We win!
And Harry Reid...
And they jump into honorable mentions of Ex members instead of current members.
Come on JW!
