Among the more prominent recipients of Mad Money were:

-- Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy
-- New York Rep. Charles Rangel
-- New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine
-- New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg
-- Former Missouri Sen. Dick Gephardt
-- Former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley

Madoff also hedged his bets and kicked in a few bucks to select Republicans, such as:
-- Former Texas Rep. Jack Fields
-- Arizona Sen. John McCain
-- Former N.Y. Rep. Vito Fossella
-- Former Louisiana Rep. "Billy" Tauzin
-- Former N.Y. Rep. Daniel Frisa
-- Former N.Y. Sen. Alfonse D'Amato

As for President-elect Barack Obama, records show Madoff, his family and associates only contributed a few thousand dollars in total to his campaign.

You might have known McCain would be on the list - along with the rest of the democraps...

He has to be the biggest jerk yet - I sure hope someone will run against him in 2010. I’ll contribute to that! His most recent interview where he wouldn’t support Sarah was disgraceful - without her BHO would have won 80% of the vote.

I find this absolutely facinating.

Get this .. the dems continually whine about the “republicans greed” .. however, the really greedy people are the democrats on the “Mad Money” list.

What’s even more facinating .. the greedy democrats ARE ALSO STUPID.

When is the public going to get it .. my frustration level is tanking.
