I think we're all a little paranoid right now

Hate to be the one to say this, but Snopes says it's false.

They point out that it's been around since 1999 and has been attributed to other places like the parliaments of Britain, Canada and India.

 

While they absolutely have a valid point that Congress has plenty of its own skeletons, these numbers aren't provably accurate.

 

 

Fake but accurate?

[Mr. Scot]

Fake but accurate?

 

Meaning there's apparently no source to validate the list.  Some of the numbers and specifics can actually vary from image to image.

 

My guess is someone could try and research Congressional naughtiness if they wanted, but that's a big project.

If someone was going to take the time to do that, might as well just do it for these media figures... see how THAT turns out

Look up Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedys histories here....media defended and covered up for them

I wish the guys would cool it with social media for a while. Don't need another PR distraction...

I'm not interested enough to do either one

The story may not be true but the sentiment isn't off base

While I would say it wouldn't be easy to prove these numbers or provide an accurate list of criminals in Congress; it's definitely not impossible.

I'd agree.

 

Would take a lot of effort and someone with good resources though.

Ted Kennedy is dead, so it's probably only half right

[Mr. Scot]

How many guys got caught in Abscam?  Or the Congressional post office scandal?

 

Lord knows there's no shortage of political scandals on record.

Numbers and exact offenses aside, there's no doubt that politicians have a higher than average scumbag ratio, and I'm talking all kinds of bad deeds and broken laws.

 

As for the NFL, considering the players are encouraged to go out and kick a bunch of ass to earn their pay, I don't think the percentage of domestic violence incidences are as high as you'd expect from such a violent profession. Unfortunately, the league is under the microscope and that's not likely to change any time soon.
