Dodd voted most corrupt politician of 2009. He certainly has my vote, but why limit it to just 2009?

For What It's Worth · Greenwich, Connecticut real estate, politics, etc.
Quite a few democrats on the list, hmm. Well, anyway, with so many able competitors on the list and, I’m sure, disappointed candidates who had stellar years but failed even to make the finals, I wonder how Dodd is celebrating the honor. I can think of at least two or three others who were equally deserving. What are his chances of being reelected?
The list is in alphabetical order, not some sort of ranked order.
I post this as a “public service” to fellow commentators who might be ready–as I was– to sputter and fume about why Rangel was at the bottom of the list instead of the top.
Say it ain’t so – If Dodd’s on top, where he belongs, than the alphabetical order is just coincidence, like the universe ordering itself out of chaos.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree..from NY Times article :
Dodd’s Other Campaign: Restoring Dad’s Reputation
Andrew Councill For The New York Times
Published: September 24, 2007
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 — On June 23, 1967, Senator Thomas J. Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut, was censured by the United States Senate for diverting $116,000 in campaign funds for his personal use. The vote was 92 to 5.
“I think a grave mistake has been made, and I am the one who must bear the scar of that mistake for the rest of my life,” Thomas Dodd told a hushed chamber. His voice broke, and he was led off the floor in tears. Four years later, he died a broken man
corrupt congressmen [and women]? hard to get to the top of that list.
