I was just reading through this thread and I saw that Roy Blunt made the top thirteen. Coincidentally, he was recently tapped to replace Delay as House Majority Leader. This seems like the wrong sort of message for the Republicans to be sending: shouldn't both parties at least avoid giving rewards to their most corrupt party members, if not actively discouraging and punishing them?

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
