CREW's Latest Report reveals 25 Most Corrupt Members of the Bush Administration

[Robbien]

Today, CREW released a new report, "Criminals and Scoundrels: The 25 Most Corrupt Members of the Bush Administration." The full report with exhibits can be found here.

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.

The 25 Most Corrupt Members of the Bush Administration are (alpha order):

Claude Allen, White House

Eric Andell, U.S. Department of Education

Margaret Burnette, Food and Drug Administration

Lester Crawford, Food and Drug Administration

Lurita Doan, General Services Administration

Brian Doyle, U.S. Department of Homeland Security

Darleen Druyun, U.S. Air Force

Frank Figueroa, U.S. Department of Homeland Security

Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, Central Intelligence Agency

1. Bumping it up. Its a good resource link

Not any surprises, but a good list of all the scoundrels.

[Greeby]

2. There is no such thing as a corrupt Republican

the term "corrupt" implies there was something good and decent to be corrupted in the first place

[Olney Blue]

3. I need a shower after reading that list.

:mad:

15. well at least we all know who they are, some I'd never heard of..

and when they start bringing them to trial (hoping!), they have a good starting list!

And tom_paine, may I say I LOVE that candidate design of Gore/Clark, it's my fave I've made and if we can get them to run, I am certain America's principles will be restored. The 30 min. video I edited of Wes Clark down to 7 powerful information filled minutes at the Iowa Democratic county function, made me feel so aligned to him and hopeful that he and Gore will bring back grace to Washington.

The b*sh corruption is so rampant and disturbingly deep that sometimes I can't even keep up with their lastest disgusting act! For now, I support John if the other 2 aren't running in '08, because I know he cares about the forgotten people in America.

5. K&R and bookmarked.

6. Libby and Rove were not on the list because CREW is...

...prohibited by Judge Walton from discussing anyone connected with the Leak Case.

You may well ask, "Why the Hell isn't Shooter or the Chimp on the list?" Well, CREW is focussing on non-elected, non-cabinet officials, so not only are Bushie and Darth out, but also Rice, Abu Gonzales, etc.

[rpannier]

7. Color me shocked! Absolutely SHOCKED!

Janet Rehnquist, daughter of the late Chief Justice is on the list.
Roger Stillwell is on the list.
A guy nicknamed "Dusty" is on the list.

It must have been tough for CREW to whittle the number down to 25.
In an administration this rife with scandal and corruption this must be the Bush-Mafia inner-circle.

[Megahurtz]

8. And they get Paid Well for What They Do.

Sheesh.

[Herman74]

9. I know some of you might be thinking that without Cheney...

...on the list the list is worthless, but you shouldn't view it that way. The purpose of the list is to show that corruption permeates not just the highest step on the Bush Administration ladder, but is also found amidst those whose task is to implement the Chimp's idiotic policies.

10. CREW has been amazing -

a kick for their work they have been doing what congressional oversight should have been doing all along. Big Kudos and Thanks to CREW!

[sonias]

11. CREW rocks

I hope that Melanie Sloan gets as much time on other Air America shows as she did on Al Franken. Now that Al's show is going off the air, I am really going to miss all of these great people I met on his show.

12. And these are the third-tier crooks

Claude Allen, making off with electronics from Target while on the White
House payroll. Haarrrruumpph!

Petty compared to the real BFEE.

CREW obviously cheaps out on the real crooks. :)

[Canuckistanian]

13. Quite a collection there

Everything from petty grifters to sexual perverts to federally prosecutable thieves, extortionists and corporate bottom feeders.

Good representation of the whole Bush Christmas card list.

[orleans]

14. i feel so uneducated. who the hell are all these people?

i've only heard of a few of them

bush administration: like cockroaches in the dark.

[Divine Discontent]

16. like me, I realize too that they're the dark work horses that do

all of their master's bidding. and I'm sure they get a huge salary destroying our country bit by bit for the warprofiteers and their ilk...

[Divine Discontent]

17. I like this peson's post...

The 10 Most Conspicuously Absent Members Are.....
Submitted by Anonymous on 7 February 2007 - 10:12pm.

President George W. Bush
Vice President Richard B. Cheney
Sec. of State Condoleezza Rice
Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales
Director of National Intelligence - John Negroponte
Deputy Chief of Staff - Karl Rove

UN Ambassador - John R. Bolton
White House Press Secretary - Tony Snow

...and don't even get me started on former officials... Libby, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Brown, Ralston...

[curiousdemo]

18. Shouldn't Bush and Cheney....

be at the top of the list? These SOB are war crimminals and should be indicted for crimes against humanity.

[Time for change]

21. Yes, I don't understand what reason there could be for not including them

and Rummy and Condi too. What happened to "The buck stops here"?

[Vinca]

19. I guess this is an old list. A couple of these people have

already been tried, convicted and sentenced. In any case, these people are the low hanging fruit. It goes all the way to the top.

[exlrrp]

20. MUCH More corrupt than the Clinton Administration!!!

Not one Clinton aide was ever indicted or convicted of ANY crime while in office (The Sandy Berger thing happened in 2002)
Why doesn't the media ever put THAT out??

[DeeDeeNY]

23. The media was too busy reporting

who Clinton gave pardons to and who slept in the Lincoln Bedroom. Then there were the stories that turned out to be hoaxes that the media fell for -- the planes kept waiting on the runway so he could get a $200 haircut, the "w's" missing from all the computer keyboards and the offices trashed when he left office, etc. Not to mention of course the 24/7 coverage to Monica. This was after all very important.
:sarcasm:

Somehow I don't think the mainstream media will be interested in this list, though.

[LynneSin]

22. A shorter but more difficult list to create: Lest corrupted members of the Bush Regime

:scared:

[kineneb]

28. shorter list yet- honest members of BushCo

zero-zip-nada-nichts that I can think of...the few that were there in the beginning have long since bailed out, like rats off sinking ships...

[Demlobos06]

24. One of the best put together lists I've ever seen

My kudos to the authors who put this together, very well done

[williesgirl]

25. With this criminal administration, it could have been "top 5000" and just skimmed the surface

recommended

[earth mom]

26. Just the tip of the iceberg.

:grr:

[Kurovski]

27. Kick(nt)

[HCE SuiGeneris]

29. Holy crap !

Has everyone checked out the hyperlinks for their names? Absolutely disgusting that these people are in positions of power.
Eg. Robert Schofield -- Dept. of Homeland Security http://www.citizensforethics.org/execcorruption/reports/Schofield.pdf
