Josh Marshall over at Talking Points Memo has been taking nominations for the best political scandals of 2007 and created the Golden Duke Awards. Winners just announced.
Named after disgraced (and jailed) congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham, the awards are "a big, exciting, super-well Muck-O-Rama Extravaganza contest, honoring the great acts of venal corruption, outstanding self-inflicted losses of dignity, crimes against the republic, bribery, exposed hypocrisy and general muckiness." Categories include: "Best Scandal -- Sex and Generalized Carnality" and "Outstanding Achievement in Corruption-based Chutzpah"
Funny stuff from a serious site that has covered all these scandals in detail from the moment they broke, or in a lot of cases, uncovered the scandal and corruption themselves.
