Let's play: "My Senators Are Worse Than Yours!"

[dem629]

Who wants to challenge me in this game? I'm from South Carolina and my Senators are Lindsey Graham and Jim DeMint.

Should I (and other SC DU'ers) just declare victory in this competition? :)

EDIT: It looks like OK and GA are in the mix here.

[spanone]

1. bob corker & lamar alexander....perhaps a tossup?

[dem629]

Good point. n/t

[Kalyke]

5. Same here.

Hello fellow Tennessean.

[tnlurker]

57. Not only do I have Corker and Alexander

But I have Marsha Blackburn as my Rep.

[johnaries]

64. Ouch! At least I've got Jim Cooper. DLC but at least D. However,

I work in Brentwood (Marsha Country) and have even had her come to my work. Luckily Bredesen came a little later and cleared out the stench.

[spanone]

70. cooper voted AGAINST the bailout

[SteppingRazor]

2. Actually, anyone from Oklahoma can easily give you a run for your money. n/t

[dem629]

7. Oh crap. You're right. SC does have some competition. n/t

[Bobcat]

3. Senators

Got me beat! (Iowa)

[wryter2000]

95. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[ipfilter]

4. Inhofe and Coburn

FTW. What's my prize?

[lady raven]

19. You'll have to share it with me.

I'm one of the unfortunate as well.

[sazemisery]

24. Three way share

Inhofe and Coburn the worst ever. Biggest FAIL in Oklahoma history.

[a la izquierda]

28. Three-way on the prizesharing!

Oh wait, that's not a good thing. :(

[KittyWampus]

33. you guys definately win, IMO.

[ezgoingrl]

56. I too, live under the opression of Tom Coburn and

Jim Inhofe. Ugh.

[wryter2000]

96. You have my sympathy

Somehow, I doubt that was what you were looking for. :evilgrin:

[Are_grits_groceries]

6. I'm from SC too.

Throw in Mark Hoover-Sanford and we have the trifecta of doom.

[dem629]

11. I really think he's going to run for Prez. What do you think?

[Are_grits_groceries]

27. Who?? Hoover-Sanford??

Only after he finishes turning the state into a medieval fiefdom. He's close.

As for President, he can try, and just might. I hope they decide it with a cage match.
Palin has my bet.

[dem629]

29. I think Repubs will love what he's done in SC.

Which is: nothing good.

And they'll be ready, after McCain, to move to the far, far, whacko right. Sanford will be a contender, I think.

[Are_grits_groceries]

32. He will be in the whacko mix.

However, my money is still on Palin. She has the "base"
mesmerized.

[nxylas]

54. Sanford for VP maybe?

Yeah, I know prediction is a mug's game, but I've a horrible feeling that Palin will win the GOP nom in 2012. She purty, a-hyuck. However, I don't think she has the smarts to comprehend the wisdom of balancing the ticket, and will pick a far-right wacko like herself as her VP candidate, which gives Sanford a shot. I almost hope I'm right, since it would give Obama an easy victory. All he has to do is show the nation what Sanford-Hoover has done to South Carolina and ask "do you really want the whole country to end up like that"? Freepers will answer "yes" of course, but they don't call the shots any more, if they ever did.

[hamsterjill]

8. Cornyn

But I still think you win this one.

[Richardo]

37. ...and Hutchison

We get a tie at least.

[hamsterjill]

53. Yes and Plus

We've had Rick Perry for governor for what seems like 40 years!!!

[wryter2000]

99. Poor Richardo

I'll loan you Barbara Boxer, or at least, Rocco Prestia. :hi:

[Richardo]

102. Would you?

:hi:

[Kali]

9. kyl and mcsplain

do I win?

[dem629]

15. Dammit. You're definitely in the game. I guess it just seems worse to me, living here. :(

[AzDar]

10. *Ahem*... Kyl and McCain.

Jeebus help us.

[Kali]

16. same time but I was first!

[madokie]

12. iNhofe and cOburn has'm all beat

Ok to the lead right off

[angrycarpenter]

13. Alabama - Shelby and Sessions

I win.


On edit- I lose.

[Ikonoklast]

81. You win the 'Most Bat-Shit Crazy' Team Award.

But I think the Sooner State Shitheel Twins have you beat, sorry to say.

I'm a Buckeye, and were getting rid of Do-Nothing George Voinovich as he doesn't want to play for the losing side.

But we do have Sherrod Brown. Most of you don't know him, but I wish there were 49 more Senators just like him.

[trof]

87. Yep.

:-(

[Faygo Kid]

14. They're terrible, but what about Oklahoma? Georgia?

I'm in Maryland, so I'm OK, but speaking of OK, to me it's tough to beat Inhofe and Coburn.

Georgia with Chambliss and Sessions are right there, too.

[dem629]

21. True. Damn, there are so many more bad ones. n/t

[KamaAina]

97. Sessions is from AL

Suxby alone could almost pull this off by himself, but his tag-team partner Isakson just doesn't quite cut it. :P

[scheming daemons]

17. Casey and Specter.... I can live with those two..... you win

;-)

[NightWatcher]

18. two words: Saxby Chambliss

and two more: Johnny Isakson

and Georgia takes the trophy back to our clubhouse

[yella_dawg]

20. Kay Bailey Hutchison

and John Cornyn.


Top that.

[dem629]

26. I think SC, OK and maybe GA are worse.

But TX is bad, no doubt.

[Gothmog]

34. Senator Boxturtle

Cornyn is now the head of RSCC and is really a disgusting human being. His sole accomplishment is to back up Santorum by making sure that human beings are not allowed to marry box turtles.

[onehandle]

22. Georgia. Chambliss and Isakson. The Max Cleland basher and a total wimp.

They do nothing but take corporate orders like the weak whores they are.

[dem629]

30. Chambliss is a shameless wad of scum. What a pathetic bastard.

[kenny blankenship]

61. I can't even play in this game because

whenever Shameless and Sacklessone appear in a news story, I've learned that I must look away. My memory represses the specific things that I hear that they've done. I've found that I can't change them, because you can't change Georgia, so to cope I have to try and forget how bad they are.

I loathe them but I am always putting out of my mind the reasons why.

I think it's possible Shameless and SacklessOne keep a lower profile than a lot of other equally red-tater senators. I'm always hearing about Inhole and Korn-in much more frequently than my own senators.

[stanwyck]

84. Tough competition out there. But, yes, we Georgians, uh,

win (?) this contest.
Times are changing though. I believe I'll live long enough to see Georgia elect Dems. again to the Senate.

[colinmom71]

103. Also in GA here, and even worse...

I'm stuck with *Phil "Brownnose" Gingrey* for my Rep.!

Have any of these guys ever introduced or co-sponsored any meaningful legislative initiatives in all the years their respective terms have commenced? Certainly none I can think of...

[TroglodyteScholar]

104. Yup...regrettable. :( n/t

[skeewee08]

23. Oklahoma... Nuff said!

[dem629]

25. Yeah, I think OK and SC are probably the worst.

[plcdude]

31. No contest

we win in Oklahoma hands down period.

[WyLoochka]

35. Enzi and Barrasso WY are the worst

Because they represent the smallest state population in the country, therefore their votes are weighted most heavily, proportionally speaking.

I faxed them that their votes on the Recovery Pkg should apply to Wyoming and Wyoming alone. If they don't want the stimulus for Wyoming - then fine - opt out for Wyoming. That's a "cut" Indiana, Ohio and other hurting places etc could heartily approve of.

Think that will ever happen? Nope - they'll continue to spread vile lies about "socialism" and to vote as extreme right wingers - but they'll make sure Wyoming gets the money that they voted against.

[Avalux]

36. Cornyn and Hutchison - TEXAS. Horrible; absolutely horrible.

Cornyn's office is unreachable by phone (always); emails never get a response. He simply doesn't give a shit. Hutchison will respond, even if the response is "fuck you".

[liberalmuse]

38. Oh shit, you've got me beat.

My Senators are Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell. :applause:

[doodadem]

39. I've got Barbara Boxer!

I've got Barbara Boxer! I've got Barbara Boxer! I've got Barbara Boxer! I've got Barbara Boxer! I've got Barbara Boxer! Nah na na nah na nah......

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Of course, that means I also have Dianne Feinstein, but even she's better than most of you guys'.

[wryter2000]

100. Now, now

We don't gloat in Kahleefohnia.

:hi:

[Are_grits_groceries]

40. FTW:

Lee Atwater was a native and got his training here. Karl Rove was a protege.
Top that!!

[CitizenPatriot]

41. Not so fast

though I have to give you bonus points for the asshat state senator who had the Obama/Osama website up on his govt website.

checking in from Georgia here. I assume I need explain no further -- Chambliss being investigated for deaths in sugar factor, but gets reelected....

I say no more, except that I miss Barbara Boxer a LOT!!!!

[blogslut]

42. John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchinson

I win.

[Are_grits_groceries]

45. Not even close.

Deminted makes Hutchinson look like a flaming liberal.

[blogslut]

52. Yes, but Box Turtle John counts as double

That man is awful, awful, awful. Ms. Hutchinson is just a garden variety idiot. Combined with Cornyn, it's like we have three crappy Senators.

[peace13]

43. Voinovich - Ohio

Cried on camera when Bolton vote came to the floor when he could have voted it down in committee. What an *ss! He has voted against the best interests of America over and over.

[rucky]

66. We'll be rid of him soon enough.

just please tell me we're not dumb enough to elect Blackwell in his place!

[peace13]

85. That is an dirty thought.

We still have people around here with *lackwell bumper stickers.

Edited to add that just because we vote them out doesn't mean that they don't hang around DC with the other unelected rats. I see DeWine in the background sometimes and your man *lackwell is still at it. They think that they are anointed. It is awful!

[AndyA]

44. Another one stuck with INHOFE and COBURN.

We win hands down, there's simply no comparison.

[Are_grits_groceries]

47. I humbly disagree.

We have Grahamster (AND his minimomser Lieberman) plus Jim Deminted who wants to head the "freedom fighters????"

[AndyA]

78. Not even close.

Bat shit crazy Coburn thinks there's something in the water in southeastern Oklahoma that is making young girls into lesbians. He doesn't want them going to the rest room more than one at a time because of this.

Inhofe denies that climate change is an issue, despite all the facts proving otherwise.

Really, you've got it good in comparison.

[sharp_stick]

46. Lieberman

how's that, I hate that POS more than I can describe. Chris Dodd's idiocy over his discount (VIP) mortgage isn't doing much to make him seem much better either.

[hfojvt]

48. Pat Roberts and Sam Brownback

Plus I was born in South Carolina

[blindpig]

49. South Carolina wins.

One oily reactionary and one bat-shit fuckin' insane reactionary. Strom looks on from Hell smiling.

Greetings from Spartanburg.

"Too small to be a nation, too large to be an insane asylum."

[aquamarina]

50. This post is cracking me up

[Betsy Ross]

51. You win. I'm from California.

While Diane Feinstein leaves something to be desired at times, Barbara Boxer has a pretty good track record.

[dkofos]

55. Hutchinson and cornyn. Need I say more??

[tinymontgomery]

58. NC

Burr in Senate and McHenry in House. Both useless. The Charlotte Observer finally got on Burr in the editorial section.

[road2000]

59. This is amazing.

No one has nominated Kentucky yet? With McConnell and Bunning, we usually come in close to Oklahoma on these threads!

[Bobbie Jo]

60. Damn...you guys are making Lugar/Bayh look good here in Hoosierville.

:scared:

[MajorChode]

62. I live in Texas, but Jim Inhofe is dumber than a sack of hammers

It's pretty hard to compete with that.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

63. You win, although not overwhelmingly.

Here in Florida, we've got Bill Nelson, who is hit and miss, but at least he's a Democrat and you can count on him some of the time, if not all of the time. We've also got Mel Martinez, who is retiring and hopefully will be replaced by a good Democrat, God-willing.

[guitar man]

65. Oklahoma

Inhofe and Coburn....what do I win? :silly:

[Uzybone]

67. Cornholio and KBRHutchinson, Texas has to be the worst.

well at least Hutchinson is pro-choice and voted for Ledbetter. She isn't insane.


on edit....Oklahoma (Coburn-Inhofe)is definately the worst.

[Soylent Brice]

68. ...

Brown, Sherrod - (D - OH)
Voinovich, George V. - (R - OH)

split. :shrug:

[rucky]

69. If we were playing with Congressmen, I'd have you all beat:

Boehner

[backscatter712]

71. Not the worst, but annoying. Mark Udall & Michael Bennet of CO.

They're both Blue Dogs, so we have to constantly keep the whip on them to get them to behave - they're part of the Gang of 18 (I think it's 18 now) that watered down the stimulus bill in the Senate. :mad:

[Joanne98]

72. I lose. I got Sherrod Brown.

[sweetpotato]

73. I miss Fritz Hollings

fellow South Carolinian here.

[polmaven]

74. Wish I could play,

but I'm from Massachusetts!

I'd be willing to go head to head with anyone in a game of BEST Senators!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

76. I'll take you on!

I'm from Rhode Island.

[TayTay]

79. RI has 2 very good Senators

But, I think MA has 2 excellent Senators. And MA has excellent House representation as well.

Hmmmm, maybe we should both count our blessings and think about helping CT and NH out in the next Senatorial elections.

[schmuls]

75. I can't play either...my man is Feingold!

[seabeyond]

77. cornyn.... i win. lol. n/t

[Ardent15]

80. Feinstein...DINO

But that's balanced by Boxer.

[conscious evolution]

82. Georgia wins`

Not only do we have suxby and chumpless but we have sonnyboy to deal with also.

[road2000]

88. Aren't suxby and chumpless the same guy?

And the other GA senator is Isakson, right? Don't know much about him, but he's got an R by him name.

[conscious evolution]

89. Brainfart!!!

See how bad they are?:silly:

[Terran]

83. Kit Bond (R-MO): extremely mediocre at best

and none too bright. Fortunately Claire McCaskill more than balances him out...so I guess MO isn't even in the running.

[ulysses]

86. I'm from Oklahoma and live in Georgia. I win.

[PM7nj]

90. Menendez and Lautenberg... I lose.

:D

[lonestarnot]

91. Without a doubt, I have you beat with Lumpy McSame and Kyl the Bile.

[alarimer]

92. I think they might even be worse than Texas' Senators.

At least Kay Hutchison is not foaming at the mouth like Lindsey Graham.

[Bleacher Creature]

93. I've got Mikulski and Cardin. As Tina Fey says, suck it haters!!

I'll lose this contest every day of the week and be thankful for it!

[wryter2000]

94. I dunno

Texas may give you a run for the money.

(I'm from CA, so I'm out of the running, although we could sure improve on DiFi.)

[Critters2]

98. I have Roland Burris.

Whoever your Senators are, I doubt anyone is questioning their right to be there.

[steelyboo]

101. Kentucky

First up, our junior (HA!) senator (junior to Lazarus maybe) Jim Bunning. This guy is so senile that I'd be willing to bet that if he showed up on the senate floor with his underwear on the outside of his suit, the other senators wouldn't bat an eyelash.
Last, and certainly least, we have Mitch "Little Bitch" McConnell, minority leader (but still a MAJOR asshole in our hearts) AKA The King of the Dipshits AKA The Chinless Weasel.
