Think Progress [1] documents the "musical chairs" among the ethically challenged members of the GOP caucus:

After demoting one member of his caucus for corruption, Boehner has chosen to promote and reward two other deeply corrupt congressmen.

- Doolittle out: In mid-April, the FBI searched the Virginia home [2] of Rep. John Doolittle (R-CA) as part of “its investigation into the ties of the congressman and his wife, Julie, to disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff.” Soon after, he was forced to step down [3] from his seat on the powerful House Appropriations Committee.

- Calvert replaces Doolittle: The House Republican Steering Committee voted last week [4] to appoint Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA) to Doolittle’s vacant seat. Calvert, who has a history of scandals, including extensive profiting [5] from legislation he supported and a well-publicized escapade with a prostitute [6], is one of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington’s “20 Most Corrupt Members of Congress [7]”

- Feeney replaces Calvert: Yesterday, Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL), who was recently questioned by the FBI [8] over his relationship to Abramoff, told the Orlando Sentinel that “he would take over as GOP leader on the space subcommittee [9], part of the overall House science committee.” He’s replacing Calvert, who had to abandon the position in order to accept Doolittle’s appropriations seat.

All three members, Doolittle [10], Calvert [11] and Feeney, [12] are named in Beyond DeLay, as among the 20 most corrupt Members of Congress in CREW's report, Beyond DeLay.
