Tough job, but somebody's got to do it. Judicial Watch has released its annual list of politicians they deem unsavory — the top 11, plus a list of six runners-up for the dubious designation.

"The purpose of the list is to put the spotlight on some of D.C.'s most unethical politicians who have undermined the rule of law and abused the public trust," says Tom Fitton, president of the watchdog group. He calls it a "bipartisan problem."

Here are the "most corrupt" politicians, Mr. Fitton says, in alphabetical order:

Rep. Vern Buchanan, Florida Republican

Secretary of Energy Steven Chu

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and UN Ambassador Susan Rice

Attorney General Eric Holder

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Illinois Democrat

Sen. Robert Menendez, New Jersey Democrat

President Barack Obama

Sen. Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat

Rep. David Rivera, Florida Republican

Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius

What is the phrase? "We live in interesting times."

I think this list proves that we live in dangerous times.

Though she did receive a "dishonorable mention", I'm surpried that Elizabeth Warren didn't crack the top ten.

Now the list comes out AFTER the election. No real news on the list for a conservative. We knew all of this. They forgot Big Sis.

SICKENING !!

Obama and his administration should be very proud of themselves ....including Harry Reid !!

Eric Holder is the second most detestable one on the list as far as I'm concerned.

After the top 10 or 20, I'm not sure the DEGREE of corruption is all that significant.

When one is about at the limit of how evil corruption can get . . . as so many in D.C. seem to routinely live . . . the gradients are insignificant, imho.

It would be easier to try and find the 5-15 Congress critters who were not very corrupt.
