wow!

FGM.....can you name more than five of the congressmen who have been accused of spousal abuse?

Or......how about a couple of the many who can not get a credit card.

Were the 84 arrested for DUI arrested LAST year as in 2009? Or was it 1998........or 2001.......02 2008???

^I'd agree if it were the cowboys.........since they DESERVE to be denigrated.

I'm not so sure it is fair to paint the entire congress with such a broad brush of hyperbole.

from 1999, the list isn't an accurate representation of the compiled data (can't get an amex is different than can't get a credit card), and the compiled data was VERY questionable to start with (unverifiable).
