CREW, Citizens For Responsibility And Ethics In Washington, in 2007 produced this report, The 25 Most Corrupt Officials of the Bush Administration. Sadly, it’s only through 2006, and doesn’t include Scooter Libby.
Note that this isn’t the complete list, just the 25 worst cases, in their estimation. CREW found 160, as Free Democracy noted in February, 2007:
CREW found and documented more than more than 160 cases of misconduct over the last six years and then narrowed the list based on type of offense, the official’s level of responsibility and the impact on the public trust. The majority of the officials in the report have been convicted of crimes, are currently under criminal investigation, or are being investigated by the inspector generals of their respective agencies.
I’ve been waiting for a good time to publish this, but I’m going to dedicate it to my buddy Laffy (@GottaLaff), who runs The Political Carnival along with her friend Paddy. (Great site, by the way!) Seems she ran into a Twitter troll tonight. I thought this would help.
