Interesting, but I would argue that Geitner and Holder aren't really politicians. They are public appointees, i.e., they didn't run for office, but were appointed and confirmed by Congress.
I also note a distinct ring wing bias to the list, and I find it hard to believe that only one Republican makes the list.
I think it would likely be easier to list politicians who weren't corrupt at some level. A very short list indeed.

I place about the same degree of confidence in a list from Judicial Watch as I would one from Daily Kos

What a totally predictable response from our favorite leftist. When you can't take exception to the content (either due to blind ideology, ignorance, laziness or some combination) you weakly attempt to dismiss the source. How about adding something of value to the discussion and analyze what they wrote and identify inaccurate statements?
The answer is you can't because everything in there was more than likely accurate. If not, then lets hear the facts.....crickets anyone?

What Judicial Watch said is probably mostly true, but being a biased observer thet are going to bend over backwards to find dirt on those they oppose and pass on those they approve. Daily Kos I suspect could provide you with similar informative expose on political leaders which might also be true but just as suspect because they too will be sure to dish the dirt only on those they oppose. Take off your blinders from timr to time MM

So you admit it is probably true even though you dismissed it in your original post. And I have blinders on?!?!? Of course my response is predictable because you are like a broken record. Come up with something original and maybe I could do likewise.

My failure to proofread makes my 2d post appear to contradict my 1st. In the first sentence of the 2d I intended use "says" rather than "said". The word "said" implys referral to the original posted list. That was not my intention. Instead my intention was to reinforce my 1st post comments. So, that being said I will again say that most of what comes from Judicial Watch or Daily Kos is probably factual, but both are so biased in their intentions any thinking person is wise to take the claims of both with stiff dose of caution.

Its not so much that what they say should necessarily be discounted because of the source as much as you can probably bet it is only half the story or the portion of the story they want to emphasize while they try to ignore the rest. Judicial Watch has had its moments when they have taken on Republicans and they have done some very good work exposing corruption. I would not put them in the same league as Daily Kos or the Huff Post. Maybe more in line with the Southern Poverty Law Center or the ADL on the left.
