Judicial Watch is a non-partisan legal group that investigates and prosecutes civil suits against corruption and corrupt politicians. At the close of 2007, Judicial Watch announced Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians List for the year.
The list consisted of four Republicans and six Democrats, all of whom are nationally prominent.
Maybe there is something in the water in Little Rock. The line leader is former Arkansas First Lady, Hon. Hilary Rodham Clinton. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee was number six on the list. The Judicial Watch site contained the following summary on the Huck's record.
"Governor Huckabee enjoyed a meteoric rise in the polls in December 2007, which prompted a more thorough review of his ethics record. According to The Associated Press: “[Huckabee’s] career has also been colored by 14 ethics complaints and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governor’s office.” And what was Governor Huckabee’s response to these ethics allegations? Rather than cooperating with investigators, Huckabee sued the state ethics commission twice and attempted to shut the ethics process down."
In Huck's defense, he is a former Baptist minister, and is pro-life.
But then again, so is former New Jersey Assemblyman Al Steele. Steele is a pastor of a protestant church in Passaic County NJ. Steele was charged by the feds last year in a corruption sting. He will be taking a leave of absence from the pulpit as he spends time in the Greybar Hotel.
