From Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics: Beyond Delay

Rep. Roy Blunt (R-K Street) has been listed by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington as one of the 13 most corrupt members of Congress.

And.... SURPRISE! SURPRISE! Look whose name crops up here:

Legislative Assistance for Jack Abramoff’s Client

Rep. Blunt and his staff have close connections to uber-lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who is the subject of criminal and congressional probes. In June 2003, Mr. Abramoff persuaded Majority Leader Tom DeLay to organize a letter, co-signed by Speaker Hastert, Whip Roy Blunt, and Deputy Whip Eric Cantor, that endorsed a view of gambling law benefitting Mr. Abramoff’s client, the Louisiana Coushatta, by blocking gambling competition by another tribe. Mr. Abramoff has donated $8,500 to Rep. Blunt’s leadership PAC, Rely on Your Beliefs.

If, as it appears, Rep. Blunt was accepting campaign contributions from Mr. Abramoff in exchange for using his official position so support a view of gambling law that would benefit Mr. Abramoff’s client, he would be in violation of the law.

Yes Congrats Mr. Blunt! You are the Right-Wing Jerk of The Month.
