Poll question: Who's the biggest jackass on Capitol Hill?
There's no Santorum or "Macaca" Allen, but James Inhofe's performance today served as a reminder of what a pile of hippo dung he is. But who's the absolute biggest pendejo, in either house of Congress?

20. He was the first name that popped into my mind also.......
My favorite memory of him is his televised response to suggestions that he forget the funds for "the bridge to nowhere"; you could practically SEE the spittle blowing out of his mouth.

3. There are so many, it is hard to judge
But today, Price from Georgia takes the prize for his behavior and his ignorant, partisan, hateful stance.

Come to South Mississippi - see what the MSM won't tell you. The region has not been rebuilt, it is struggling to rebuild and it will be years before we get close to where we were before the storm.

10. Are You Insinuating That the Biggest Jackass Is a Republican?
I would have thought you had to be an overweight Democrat to earn that monicker....

Still, what would be the GOP equivalent phrase?

Guess I'm not going to get any sleep tonight for wondering.

12. A lady I know that works for a Louisiana GOP congressman that said

"The problem with Louisiana is we don't have good Anglo stock to our population, when your population is so high in African, French, Irish, and Italian blood there is only so far you can go."

24. Dana Rohrabacher is a circus freak
Jeff Sesesh lives in his own antebellum wonderland. But Joe Lieberman I think wins the jackass honors here.

26. A strong list of contenders in your poll.
I'd maybe throw in Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN) and former intel captain Porter Goss.

27. After the Inhofe deal, and Boxer handing him his scrotum....
Edited on Wed Mar-21-07 09:23 PM by rasputin1952
I have to say Inhofe is the most absurd irrational person in the Senate, at least for a few days; till some other RW jughead opens his/her mouth
