Judicial Watch on “Your tax dollars at work.”

From Judicial Watch Announces List of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” for 2009:

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released its 2009 list of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians.” The list, in alphabetical order, includes:

Included on the Top Ten list is:

• Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn)
• Senator John Ensign (R-NV)
• Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA)
• Secretary of Treasury Timothy Geithner
• Attorney General Eric Holder
• Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL)/ Senator Roland Burris (D-IL)
• President Barack Obama
• Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
• Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) and the rest of the PMA Seven
• Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY)

More on the “PMA Seven” from the John Murtha entry below.

As many as six other Members of Congress are currently under scrutiny according to The Washington Post. They include: Peter J. Visclosky (D-IN.), James P. Moran Jr. (D-VA), Norm Dicks (D-WA.), Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), C.W. Bill Young (R-FL.) and Todd Tiahrt (R-KS.). Of course rather than investigate this serious scandal, according to Roll Call House Democrats circled the wagons, “cobbling together a defense to offer political cover to their rank and file.” The Washington Post also reported in 2009 that Murtha’s nephew received $4 million in Defense Department no-bid contracts: “Newly obtained documents…show Robert Murtha mentioning his influential family connection as leverage in his business dealings and holding unusual power with the military.”

Is this an example of ‘your tax dollars at work’–or ‘working for your tax dollars’?
