THE SEVEN - AT 7:28 A.M. ET:  Reader Bret Hoover alerts us to Michelle Malkin's report, naming the seven U.S. senators who actually voted against an amendment yesterday barring funds for ACORN, the scandal-ridden promoter of leftist causes.  They are:

Burris (D-IL)
Casey (D-PA)
Durbin (D-IL)
Gillibrand (D-NY)
Leahy (D-VT)
Sanders (I-VT)
Whitehouse (D-RI)

COMMENT:  Note that both Illinois senators are on the list.   Look, it's Illinois.  What's a little scandal, right? 

Also note that both Vermont senators are on the list.  It's in the water up there.  Vermont used to be a reliably Republican state, but the neighborhood got ruined.  Karl Marx could get elected governor.  I hear there's a write-in campaign.

I see that my own senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, made the cut.  Of course, she was appointed to the Senate when Hillary resigned, and her appointment came from super-corrupt Governor David Paterson.  So I guess she thought she was just voting for family.

As for Casey and Whitehouse, they have no excuse.
