I gotta point out that this "quiz" dates back to 1999 (source).

Snopes.com writes (in part),

  • The information isn't independently verifiable, since none of the people referenced is identified by name. (Why bother to conduct all that research but then not mention any names? One plausible answer is that doing so heads off libel lawsuits if the information proved to be inaccurate or false.)

  • The original article is now several years old (having been published in 1999) and even when first published didn't list any names or state when its information was collected, so there's no telling how many of the people referenced might still be in Congress.

  • The list is long on vague innuendo and woefully short of hard facts. It describes members of Congress who have supposedly been "arrested," "accused," or "defendants," but doesn't mention a single case (anonymous or otherwise) of any of them having been convicted (or even tried) on criminal charges, no matter how minor, or of having been found liable in a civil lawsuit.

What you want up to date current articles?
That aint gonna happen. Takes too much effort.
You want verification? [verify this]
Did I even say that it was for real or that it should be taken as the gospel truth? No.
It was a joke. Did you feel the breeze over your head as it wizzed over you?
Some people laughed. More people will laugh. You did not laugh. In fact you rained on my parade.
Is Bah-Humbug your favorite Holiday greeting?
