Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington today released a report on the nine "most embarrassing" members of Congress. The South Bay's own Laura Richardson is among them, for "accepting favorable loans and her failure to properly report a loan on her financial disclosure documents."
The full report is basically a summary of news articles (many of which have run in this paper) about Richardson's multiple home defaults and her foreclosure. Nothing new, but I guess they want to make sure people don't forget.
Richardson is one of only two Democrats on the list. The other is Rep. John Murtha, a Pennsylvania Democrat who has golfed with Richardson.
The other seven are:
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN)
Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL)
Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA)
Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA)
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
Rep. Gary Miller (R-CA)
Rep. Don Young (R-AK)
Richardson even makes a brief appearance in the accompanying video:
