Sen. Reid calls US Congress 'most corrupt in history' - Yahoo! News:

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid called the Republican-led Congress 'the most corrupt in history' on Sunday, and distanced himself from lobbyist Jack Abramoff, at the center of an escalating probe.

The Justice Department is investigating whether Jack Abramoff directed illegal payoffs to lawmakers, including Rep.
Tom DeLay of Texas, who was forced to step down as House Republican leader in September after indicted in his home state of Texas on unrelated charges.

'Don't lump me in with Jack Abramoff. This is a Republican scandal,' Reid told Fox News Sunday, saying he never received any money from Abramoff."
