Barbara Flynn Currie (D) 25th District

Barbara likes to buy White Sox tickets and stay at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, D.C. She spent a whopping $7,946.21 at the Marriott in Denver for the Democratic National Convention in 2008; not to mention a staggering $19,000 donation to the Democratic Party of Illinois - chaired by none other than Mike Madigan himself. With that kind of loot kicking around, it's easy to see why she's topped Madigan's short list to be his Majority Leader and "Warden" of the Speaker's infamous Rules Committee: where all good legislation eventually ends up.

 

This career politician has been in the House since 1979, and with "friends" like hers she'll probably never leave:
