Help! Who should be on our annual "Hall of Shame" board
Mrs. Lib and I print off eight pics of the most dislikable bastards of the year for our annual county Dem party.
Usually Americans. We live in Iowa so sometimes we add an Iowa flavor.
We are seriously having a hard time paring the list down this year. We need help.
Chuck Grassley and Liz Cheney are in for sure. After that I am struggling. There are so many true bastards this year.
We also try not to go with the usual well known assholes that are easily recognizable, like drugRush. Steve King will be left off since he has been a perennial.

Here are some I have thought of. Which would you pick? Who else would you nominate?
Michelle Bachmann
Sarah Palin (too easily recognized?)
Tom Latham (Iowa 4th district. #1 Bush voter)
Kent Conrad
Max Baucus
Ben Nelson
Jim DeMint (makes Lindsey Graham seem sane)
Joe (not my real name) Wilson
Joe (not my real name) The Plumber
Rick (let's secede) Perry
Michael Steele
Normy Coleman (for his work earlier this year)
Tim (St. Paul bridge is falling down) Pawlenty (he's a neighbor)
Mike Ross
Mary Landrieu
Eric Cantor
John Boner er Boehner (but he's appeared frequently also)
Chinless McConnell has been there often also.

7. Other than her...you've got the usual suspects...
are you interested in insane celebrities on your hall? Perhaps Jon Voight?

2. Since it's a yearly thing ...
your eight should be the people who were 'relevant' this year.

For instance (in my opinion), Michael Steele trumps Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber is passe, so I wouldn't have him in the running.

15. Mr. Sachs is a person? Maybe Mr. Moneybags from the Monopoly game
would serve as symbol.
Greenspan while at fault is not today's reserve chair.

23. Don't forget one of KO's Worst Persons in the World: Cynthia Davis
Missouri lawmaker on child hunger: ‘Hunger can be a positive motivator.’

In her June newsletter, State Rep. Cynthia Davis (R-MO) provided several “commentaries” to a press release from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services on a summer food program. The program provides “food during the summer for thousands of low-income Missouri children who rely on the school cafeteria for free or reduced-price meals during the regular school year.” Davis, who serves as the chairwoman of the Missouri House Special Standing Committee on Children and Families, questioned whether the program is “warranted,” and extolled the hidden benefits of child hunger:

Who’s buying dinner? Who is getting paid to serve the meal? Churches and other non-profits can do this at no cost to the taxpayer if it is warranted. <...> Bigger governmental programs take away our connectedness to the human family, our brotherhood and our need for one another. <...> Anyone under 18 can be eligible? Can’t they get a job during the summer by the time they are 16? Hunger can be a positive motivator. What is wrong with the idea of getting a job so you can get better meals? Tip: If you work for McDonald’s, they will feed you for free during your break. <...> It really is all about increasing government spending, which means an increase in taxes for us to buy more free lunches and breakfasts.

Roeder is the man who shot George Tiller and von Brunn is the right-wing racist asshole who opened fire in the Holocaust museum.
