Van Ostrand: Washington's 22 Most Corrupt Politicians
Columnist Maggie Van Ostrand usually writes humor–good humor. I often send her columns to my humor list.
This week she showed a much more serious side: a penetrating column on political corruption, jumping off from the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics annual list of Congress’s 22 biggest crooks (a list which includes Republicans and Democrats–including, to my surprise, John Murtha, D-Penn).
CREW has also formally requested an investigation of (quoting Van Ostrand)…
“Ignite! Learning,” a company founded and headed by Neil Bush, younger brother of the president. Neil Bush, CREW tells us, “has no education background, [and] is best known for his role in the failure of Silverado Savings and Loan, which cost taxpayers $1.6 billion.”
Quite a bit more about this in Van Ostrand’s article.
