[Guest billwilly73]

Unbelievable

36 have been accused of spousal abuse

7 have been arrested for fraud

19 have been accused of writing bad checks

117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

3 have done time for assault

71 repeat 71

cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

8 have been arrested for shoplifting

21 currently are defendants in lawsuits,

and

84 have been arrested for drunk driving

in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?

NBA Or NFL ?

Give up yet? .

Neither,

it's the 435 members of the

United States Congress

The same group of Idiots that crank out

hundreds of new laws each year

designed to keep the rest of us in line.

I got this in an email and thought I'd share

I figured the numbers were higher:D

I believe that

[Guest jos2f]

I could believe that.

Snopes thinks we might or might not could possibly should believe that

I see this about once every year for the past 5 years, I think it's actually true.

Just look at the recent peeps Obama appointed w/ all the tax problems, like 3 or 4 in a row...

[G27]

Sadly, I think that was taken from 1999, when Repubs held the majority in both the House and Senate...

[Guest joeharris]

Just suprised, there were not many more!

[Currently]

Snopes won't touch it ...

Too vague and full of innuendos.

They won't call it false either acknowledging their less than stellar reputations.

They forgot to mention my "favorite" liberal ... ted kennedy

(lack of CAPS intentional)

No mention of MaryJo Kopechne.
