Congrats Larry and David! You made the list!
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has released a list of the top ten ethics scandals of 2007:
Sen. Ethics Committee looking into Sen. Craig, but not Sen. Vitter
CREW filed a complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee against Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID)
asking for an investigation into whether the senator, who pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct
after attempting to engage an undercover officer in sexual activity in a men’s restroom in the
Minneapolis airport, violated the Senate rule prohibiting members from engaging in “improper
conduct which reflects upon the Senate.” Months earlier, CREW filed a complaint against Sen.
David Vitter (R-LA) asking for an investigation into whether he violated the Senate Rules of
Conduct by soliciting for prostitution. The ethics committee is investigating Sen. Craig, but not
Sen. Vitter.
