U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) on Tuesday received the distinction of being named among Congress's thirteen "most corrupt" representatives by the group Citizens For Responsibility And Ethics In Washington (CREW).

The report says that the freshman Tea Party-affiliated Congressman's ethics issues "stem from his failure to pay child support and accurately disclose income and liabilities on his personal financial disclosure forms, and his campaign committee's inaccurate reporting of interest payment on his loans to his campaigns."

5. Maxine Waters is on this list?

And for what? Persuading Treasury officials to meet with people from OneUnitedBank, in which her husband holds stock. The CREW report doesn't indicate that Treasury gave OneUnitedBank any preferential treatment. It seems that CREW is really reaching to make some kind of "both parties are corrupt" equivalency by including Waters on this list, when other far more questionable shenanigans are going on. Joe Barton gets only a dishonorable mention in this report, and Darrell Issa isn't mentioned at all!

earlier and had a flunky following her around and asking her about this,he was also chasing down Bill Gates but no mention of asshole Walsh..

7. Don Young, who usually makes this list,

must be laying low. Or it could have something to do with the fact that Eric Holder declined to further investigate his shenanigans. Doesn't make him any less guilty of stuff.
