Pensions for Jailed BadBoys

Update:  Ah, the party is over.  From now on, if you are convicted of bribery, perjury, and other crimes, you won't get your congressional pension.  Lucky for these guys, they're in the can, collecting their pensions before the law went into effect.  See 2007 congressional ethics reforms.

Sure, sure, they were bad.  And they got hauled off to jail.  But that doesn't mean they can't enjoy the fruits hard-earned Congressional pensions.  By the way, Mr. and Mrs. American Taxpayer--any guesses as to who's picking up their tab?
