Liberal Group Puts Two Democrats on Its 'Most Corrupt' List***...Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) says the "most tainted Members of Congress" include Democrat Reps. William Jefferson of Louisiana, who is under investigation for alleged misuse of his office; and Maxine Waters of California, whose relatives reportedly made lots of money doing business with people and businesses that Waters has helped.

Rep. Jefferson recently made headlines when National Guard troops escorted him to his flooded home in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, then waited around for him to remove his personal belongings -- even as life-and-death rescue efforts were going on all around him. ...***

Interesting. I'm not at all surprised about Waters (CA); she has been running around for ages blaming "the CIA" for the economic woes (and drug abuses in) South Central Los Angeles, saying "the CIA sold cocaine" to the folks there, things like that. I can never understand how Waters and others like them ever get elected to public office (and I can inlude many here nationwide), when they hardly seem sane. In CA, unfortunately, sanity is not a consideration. In Louisiana (and a few other places), it seems being in with the crime IS a consideration.
