I think it's time we had a "stupidest senator" March Madness competition.

If it were no contest I'd pick Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul no contest but Joe Lieberman and John McCain make for some good competition.

edit: On second thought let's expand the pool to include representatives. Darrell Issa is a good choice but there's plenty of competition there!


Post your nominations!

1. I don't think any of those guys fit the bill as stupidest Senator except maybe

Paul.

I'd like to nominate Inhofe.

7. True. John McCain isn't stupid. He's just evil.

2. When this gets going...

you're likely to be swamped with nominations.

4. I'm from Kentucky. It's gotta be Rand Paul.

But Ted Cruz is coming on strong!

5. I can think of several, however,

for most stupid, I'll go along with Michael Crapo of Idaho.

Next let's vote for most evil.

9. Crapo is one of my senators

Crapo is not stupid, although with his voting record you'd think he was. Crapo knows the people who voted for him, and they all believe exactly as he votes. In real life he's not that bad of a guy, but his politics are fucked beyond belief.

Right now, the biggest idiot in the Senate is Ted Cruz. Rand Paul is the most evil, but Cruz could take that title too.

12. I used to live in Idaho and I don't share your admiration of Crapo.

I always thought that his constituency followed what he believed. You say he follows what they believe. It kind of makes them all stupid. Sure they are nice people but it doesn't absolve them from all those stupid decisions. I don't disagree with you about Cruz and Paul. Like I said there are so many of them.

16. Either way it's the same thing

The reality of Crapo is he's just like his constituency. He doesn't "follow" his voters' beliefs, nor do his voters "follow" his. They have the same beliefs, because Crapo is a very hardcore Mormon and his followers either ARE Mormons or hold most of the same positions.

6. Lieberman gets to be Dope Emeritus.

[OKNancy]

8. Jim Inhofe!

[Mass]

10. Inhoffe. No contest. add Vitter to the list as well.

and, if we can have ex-senators, Senator Centerfold should have a spot in the contest.

[Initech]

15. If we could include ex senators Zell Miller would win no contest.

Remember Justice Sunday anyone?

[Tx4obama]

11. Joe Lieberman is no longer in The Senate. n/t

[lastlib]

13. Lindsay Graham, Tom Coburn, Ted Cruz, Saxby Chambliss

I'd call that my Final Four--let the games begin!!

14. Cruz his pie hole is "stupidesttoxicist"
