Numerology

If I has written this article, around a table beginning

1. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts: $163,626,399
2. Herb Kohl, D-Wisconsin: $111,015,016
3. John Rockefeller, D -West Virginia: $81,648,018
4. Jon Corzine, D-New Jersey: $71,035,025
5. Dianne Feinstein, D-California: $26,377,109
6. Peter Fitzgerald, R-Illinois: $26,132,013
7. Frank Lautenberg, D-New Jersey $17,789,018
8. ...,

I would not have stated that "The top three wealthiest senators are Democrats," even if it was factually true. Bias or mere stupidity?

The striking feature of the full table is that those over $5 million are generally Democrats (11 of 16), while those from $1 to $5 million are generally Republicans (17 of 24).
