In terms of numbers, what state has given us the most vermin in national politics?

[burythehatchet]

past and present.

I say Georgia wins by a long shot.


Zell Miller
Newt Gingrich
Saxby Chambliss
Phil Gingrey
Bob Barr
Ralph Reed
Eugene Talmadge
Sonny Perdue

...and so many more

[cloudbase]

1. I'll stick with my home state of

Texas.

We've provided the nation with plenty of vermin over the years.

[burythehatchet]

2. True. Delay really is worth about 20 lesser vermin.

[jules1962]

4. Tennessee has 3 I can think of

Bob Corker
Bill Frist
Fred Thompson

aahhh..but we redeemed ourselves with Al Gore (except for the fact that the native idiots didn't vote for him in '04) but I love him

[burythehatchet]

23. Marsha Blackburn

:puke:

[rebel with a cause]

34. I go with Texas as well.

Illinois is credited with Lincoln, although he was not born here nor grew up here. And we will be credited with Obama, although he also was not born or raised here. Who we can claim in the recent years are Durbin (born in East St. Louis and lives in Springfield) and Paul Simon (born and grew up here in Southern Illinois).

Of course we had Dennis Hestert for years, but I never voted for him.(Not in my district) My Representative is Costello(D) and he is pretty liberal. We also had Fitzgerald who Obama replaced.

[Wickerman]

3. Per capita that is a pretty good bet

Texas is right in there, too, of course.

Bugman
Shrub
TurdBlossom
Phil Graham (does he have a cool nickname? edit, Foreclosure Phil)
Rick "Goodhair" Perry
Ron Paul
Kay Baily Hutchinson

and so forth

[burythehatchet]

8. Gramm doesn't have a cool name but he does have a great head shot

[leftofthedial]

5. I think Georgia and Texas are 'neck and 'neck

if my meaning is not too highly apostrophized for you

[JJ]

6. Quantity, I'd say Texas

Quality, California
They inflicted Nixon and Reagan on us :>

[babylonsister]

7. Here's a list of offenders-I hope you have some time, it's quite long...

[trudyco]

9. Wyoming...

Well, OK, it's really Texas but Dick Cheney claims he's from Wyoming.

[burythehatchet]

10. Cheney = 40 lesser vermin

[w8liftinglady]

11. in "Quality" of slime..Texas wins.We have Bush,DeLay,and my own Joe Barton.

[ColbertWatcher]

12. I'm ashamed to say, but California may be at the top ...

... "presidents" that we've given America: Nixon and Reagan.

And we've given you Duke Cunningham, Dana Rohrebacher and Darrell Issa not to mention Sonny Bono, his wife, Mary as well as Bob Dornan .

Hell, we've even given ourselves Schwarzenidiot.

There are many more, but this is too scary even for Halloween.

[stevedeshazer]

14. We think alike

I left out Dana Rohrabacher *slaps forehead*.

[ColbertWatcher]

17. And I forgot Duncan "Blackwater" Hunter! n/t

[burythehatchet]

20. you're right, and that leads to Duke, Mica, Dreier and the car thief.

[LeftyMom]

25. Let's not forget our old pal John Doolittle.

And Richard Pombo. What a douchebag he was.

[ColbertWatcher]

28. The car thief? n/t

[burythehatchet]

32. Issa

[LeftyMom]

33. He went from car theft to selling car alarms. I find this amusing.

Sleazy, but amusing.

[stevedeshazer]

13. Georgia and Texas are tough, but California has 'em all beat.

Richard Nixon

Ronald Reagan

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Duncan Hunter

Darrel Issa

Duke Cunningham

B-1 Bob Dornan

Brian Bilbray

John Doolittle

Just off the top of my head. Needless to say California has even more good ones than vermin.

Just sayin'.

[Samantha]

31. Yes, but the Texan above left Dick Cheney off the Texas list...

He was in fact a resident there when Bush* asked him to join the ticket. I have to go with Texas for that reason alone.

Sam

[stevedeshazer]

36. Can't argue with that

:)

[OffWithTheirHeads]

15. Sorry ya all but California gave you Nixon And Ray Gun

and that has to be worth more "destroy the country" points than all of the others, plus, they shot Bobby Here.

We suck but we will try to make up for it in a few days. After Tuesday, you may refer to us as either Comrade or Citizen.

[burythehatchet]

16. My Newt trumps your Nixon.

But Your Reagan trumps anything else I have

[fed_up_mother]

18. I think Bush did more damage than Reagan did.

At least Reagan didn't start a "major" war.

[burythehatchet]

19. and in retrospect, Nixon was a liberal by today's standards

[fed_up_mother]

22. Seriously. Nixon would be an elder statesman if he were still alive!

Compared to Bush and Bush....

[stillcool]

21. Texas Oil

[burythehatchet]

24. lubricates the slime

[jmowreader]

26. I'm sorry, but you're all wrong.

North Carolina has sent two real winners to the Senate: Jesse Helms, who you know, and Lauch Faircloth, the King of Pork--the kind with four legs. Lauch Faircloth owns a $20 million hog farm, and (although I can't find the link) I believe I heard that one of Faircloth's farms accidentally dumped a million gallons of liquified pig shit into the Neuse River.

[ColbertWatcher]

29. He sounds like a real ass.

If you're so inclined, I believe Mr. Faircloth deserves a truthiness memorial to his assholishness.

Would you be interested in donating to it?

[MisterP]

27. the OC:

Ferris F. Fremont (Nixon)
Ronald "200,000 Dead" Reagan
James B. Utt "large contingent of barefooted Africans"
John George Schmitz, Bircher King and Mary Kay Letourneau's pappy

[Joe the Liberal]

30. Alaska....

They gave us Ted Stevens and Sarah Palin.

[Terran]

35. Missouri

Gave us Rush Limbaugh. I am so ashamed.

[Neshanic]

37. Zell, Saxby, Reed. You guys win in a landslide. Just with those three creatures.
