Naming corrupt lawmakers

Last week Republican senator Tom Coburn said six members of the House of Representatives and at least one fellow senator to go to jail on corruption charges related to the scandal involving lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
The coy senator didn’t name names, but suggested that anyone following the saga would know. Then, today I came across an article in the Billings Gazette - Time magazine names Burns one of the worst senators
I recalled covering a similar issue last September, so we dug down into the Scandal Files site and there it was. And sure enough, among the number was good old Conrad Burns, senator.
The original news release has gone but the source of the story is still there, relating details of corrupt lawmakers.
Beyond DeLay: The thirteen most corrupt members of congress
* Executive Summary of the Report
* Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO)
* Rep. Randy Cunningham (R-CA)
* Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL)
* Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA)
* Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO)
* Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH)
* Rep. Richard Pombo (R-CA)
* Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ)
* Rep. Charles Taylor (R-NC)
* Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA)
* Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT)
* Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN)
* Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA)

Okay, so we now know for sure that Randy "Duke" was on the take. Frist has somehow dodged the bullets, but time will tell. You can just conjure with the rest.

But back to the BG - Time magazine has named Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., one of the five worst Senate members, criticizing him for his ties to former lobbyist Jack Abramoff and calling his legislative record "meager."
Burns was joined on the list by Hawaii Democrat Daniel Akaka, Colorado Republican Wayne Allard, Kentucky Republican Jim Bunning and Minnesota Democrat Mark Dayton.
