John Rowland, the country's most corrupt Govenor
HARTFORD (AP) -- Gov. John G. Rowland acknowledged Friday that a state contractor and friends, including some mentioned in a federal investigation of corruption in his administration, paid for work on his summer home.

Rowland's admission, released in a written statement to the media, came 10 days after he insisted he alone had paid for improvements on the house at Bantam Lake.

Once again, if this guy was a Democrat we would be seeing wall to wall national coverage on this but, since he isnt, we dont.

For those not up on his escapades, this is just one story of corruption out of many.

1. I hope he is toast!
Our liberal talk show host was calling for his resignation. I guess the state repugs might ask for it this weekend. Most people in this state have no idea what he is doing and sadly don't care!

2. We need to keep score; seriously this is raw meat.

I'm limiting to national office holders/seekers or
governors/legislative leaders.

VA - party chairman resigns over wiretapping Dems
IL - GOP Gov and many underlings in corruption scandal
OH - Aide to GOP State House Spkr arrested as flasher
CT - Mayor (and GOP senate cand) convicted of child sex
SD - Rep Janklow convicted of vehicular manslaughter
MT - Gov Judy Martz? caught somehow? help me out here

and this is all in the last two years.

Anyone want to add to this?
