It was interesting, and they do seem to report on their site Democrats with ethical problems that have already been revealed. However, they seem to investigate and even pursue legal measures when Republicans are involved. They fixate on Republicans, and it is pretty obvious. They have a "tandem" site that makes their predispositions and intentions clear: http://www.beyonddelay.org/ The name of the site even suggests an anti-Republican slant. Unless, you know, you really, really don't want to see it. I checked out CREW’s web site.

The only reason she was on Franken's radio show was because Franken was interested in exposing the ethical problems of those in Congress. Since this was happening during the Abramoff scandal, and Abramoff only personally gave money to Republicans, much of the discussion was of the Republicans. Many of those discussed on the show have left congress, some now reside in prison. If you check the CREW website, you will find several recent complaints about Democrats. It is a fact that each year CREW lists the most corrupt members of Congress, and although Republicans have dominated the lists, there have been Democrats on the lists each year.
