Your chart doesn't account for population. It should be number of officials per capita. That's the most important chart, and the one you chose to leave off your post.
According to the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section’s 2006 report – which was made public just last week - Louisiana Most Corrupt State in the Nation. http://www.commondreams.org/news2007/1008-04.htm
Which political party is more corrupt? It's hard to say but I found a link that shows the Members of Congress Who Were Convicted of or Pled Guilty to Major Offenses, 1992-1999. The Democrats lead 16 to 4 making them 4 times (or 300%) more corrupt than Republicans by that standard. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008...ption.html
Wikipedia has a more complete list though, which includes scandals. The race for corruption is far more balanced there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_s...00-present
