Scandal Scorecard update

Thanks for your tips. It's true that there's so much outrageous Republican behavior that it would be easier to list what they're doing right, but the research needed to find something to put on a list like that just sounds like too much work.

The Carpetbagger Report has another list up today, with a couple items that I missed and a couple that don't really fall into the category I'm looking for (I'm trying to track criminal, civil or Congressional investigations that can lead to real consequence, like indictments or censure, between now and November, basically).

Here are some additions culled from the Carpetbagger and your tips:

Cheney's Energy Task Force

Attorney General John Ashcroft's acceptance of $110,000 in illegal campaign contributions in 2000

The Pentagon investigation of Lt. General William Boykin , Bush's pick for deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence, and his record of extreme religious rhetoric

The Carpetbagger offers honorable mentions to the Halliburton and Enron investigations, based on the companies' links to the Executive Branch, and there's a chance they may, in fact, bear fruit.

I'm certainly sympathetic to the invocation of the Iraq war and the Haiti coup, but I'm afraid expecting action there is about as likely as hoping for a Bush impeachment trial, no matter how richly deserved.

But keep 'em coming!
