It reads like a who's who of liberal Democrats: Clinton, Corzine, Dodd, Schumer, Kerry, Markey, Rangel, Bradley, Lautenberg ... and yes, even Obama.

So - they can be bought. But will they give back the ill-bootten goty?

[Army Air Corps]

Sheesh, one scandal after another that has links to The One.

[hoosiermama]

Links? Links? Like now the Palm Beach Country CLub, where he recruited his “suckers” is now “pay to play”?

[Army Air Corps]

I haven’t heard about that one!

[CyberAnt]

It says, “Republicans” - but I don’t see any repub names among the rogue’s gallery. Am I missing something ..??

[Army Air Corps]

Kerry? As in “I married an old saddle bag for her cash” Kerry?

[Major Matt Mason]

It says, “Republicans” - but I don’t see any repub names among the rogue’s gallery. Am I missing something ..??

Towards the end of the article a few names are mentioned, although no $ amounts. A few of them are no longer in Congress.

What numbnut CNN announcer recently stated that most recent scandals involved Republicans? If this is true (which it isn't), the Dems are catching up quickly.

Madoff Made Hefty Political Contributions to Top Officials
(Clinton, Obama, Dodd, Schumer, Rangel)

I must be psychic (LOL!) as from about day 1, I felt sure
this dude, like lots of Wall Street types are heavy DemoRat
donors.

Will these politicians be required to give back their ILL-GOTTEN GAINS?

At least that's what is likely to happen with investors that pulled
out funds from Madoff in the last couple of years according
to some legal commentators.

[oldbill]

Madoff won’t spend a day in jail.

Meanwhile, some ghetto kid will be sent away for pilfering a twinkie at the 7-11.

Lesson: When you steal, steal big

[dfwgator]

Madoff won’t spend a day in jail.

Nor should he. He should be immediately be taken out back and shot after his conviction.

I was just about to post the same thing! We live in an altered state of reality.

[Ben Reyes]

That Kerry. The gay cabellero-like football throwing ex-candidate.

[CyberAnt]

I Guess they have to put the word “republican” in the sentence or the lefties won’t read it. LOL!!

[Army Air Corps]

Dodd and Schumer: two gomers out of the cavalcade of dolts responsible for our current financial mess.

[teletech]

DemocRAT corruption is breathtaking. Will we EVER know the depth of RAT corruption?

[saradippity]

There were several former Republican senators and congressmen,as I remember Fosseli and D’Amato were listed. The only current Repub pol who received money from Madoff was/is John McCain.

I am from Arizona and I am not surprised. I think I read that he received more funds from out of state than in state the last time he ran for Senate. I recall thinking at the time that there should be no out of state contributions to persons running to represent the people of a local district or state. The support money should be coming from the persons the candidate represents,or wishes to represent.

[CyberAnt]

I’m not sure I agree with that .. and it’s because during this last election, the democrats honed in on a lady running for a House seat, and even Pelosi went to the district and made a “district only” TV commercial to try to get her dem elected.

I was so appalled by how the dems were treating this woman, I sent her a small donation. I guess a lot of other repubs did too and she ended up winning her election.

[malia]

who are the Republicans that received $$$ they always throw in a few — for balance——

[no dems]

I predict that the Obama Administration will be more “scandal-plagued” than that of William Jefferson Clinton.

[freeangel]

Gee, maybe they can give the money back now and help this poor downtrodden victim./s
