In reply to the discussion: Who's the biggest asshole in elected office? [View all]Ineeda
(3,626 posts)18. Two different Joes-----
both dicks. Joe Wilson (R-SC) is the dick who shouted 'you lie' and Joe Walsh (R-IL) is the dick who's the deadbeat dad. Good choices. Out of the endless selection available, one of my choices is Jean Schmidt (R-OH) for her calling Murtha a coward. Frankly, although less prominent, with few exceptions the (R) women turn my stomach. Maybe because I used to have the crazy notion that if more women were elected, the better off we'd be. Boy, was I ever wrong.

Good picks! Joe "You Lie!" Wilson and Mean Jean Schmidt should be embarrassed to appear in public!

Just about every Republican I've seen is an asshole, but these are some of the biggest IMO:
