Name your state's most embarrassing elected official.

[milestogo]

Wisconsin is represented by moron Senator Ron Johnson, who took the title after Paul Ryan retired.

[CincyDem]

1. Gym Jordan.

[zeusdogmom]

3. Beat me to it

Hands down the worst

[doc03]

23. Count me in nt

[blueinredohio]

63. Me too!

[Norbert]

77. The most obvious choice.

[Ohiogal]

176. You all beat me to it

Jordan defines the word disgraceful

[Cousin Dupree]

113. Yep! No one can possibly be a bigger embarrassment

[RandySF]

2. Devin Nunes

[tenderfoot]

94. +1

eom

[California_Republic]

114. +2

[Brother Buzz]

98. And California's #2 nimrod is Kevin McCarthy

Is it just a coincidence that Nunes' (Ca-22) and McCarthy's (Ca-23) districts are adjacent, or is there something weird in the water down in the San Joaquin Valley?

[DBoon]

106. yes

even his cow agrees

[sakabatou]

119. Yep

[hurl]

4. Louie Gohmert

But we have so many to choose from.

[TxVietVet]

14. Loopy Louie is

The dumbest conservanazi in Texas, hands down.

[sakabatou]

120. I like to call him Gohmert Pyle

[liberaltrucker]

139. Nah, Gomer Pyle was a lovable idiot

Louis Gohmert, not so much.

[In It to Win It]

56. I was wondering whether anyone was gonna claim Louie Gohmert LOL

[yellowdogintexas]

130. Well everyone knows he's from Texas anyway.

[Paladin]

184. Gohmert is an impotent clown.

Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, on the other hand, is a loon with way too much effective power. Patrick (real last name: Goeb) devolved from an AM radio Limbaugh wannabe hate-monger, to a conspicuous trump suck-hole Hannity wannabe. God help Texas if Patrick becomes Governor.

[mcar]

5. Ron DeSantis, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio

Need I go on? It's so embarassing.

[In It to Win It]

59. They're all idiots but I think Marco Rubio tops that list

[csziggy]

66. There are so many here in Florida to be embarrassed by

If I didn't love my farm, I'd be out of here in an instant.

[lpbk2713]

118. It's neck and neck.

And neck.

But I think the worst ever was Katherine Harris.

[Awsi Dooger]

125. Rick Scott 3 times and 75 times

Depending on statewide victories or pleading the 5th amendment

[HAB911]

182. +++++++++++

[NickB79]

6. We had Michelle Bachmann

And Jason Lewis.

[WyLoochka]

7. John Barrasso

McConnell's constant shadow

[sweetloukillbot]

8. Debbie Fucking Lesko

[DesertRat]

132. Tied with Paul Gosar

[panader0]

165. We have so many to choose from here in Az.

And now, my Rep Ann Kirkpatrick(district 2) has gone into alcohol rehab. She's a decent rep,
but this won't help her re-election.

[demtenjeep]

9. Take your choice-pat roberts, jerry moran, roger marshall, ron estes

they all suck

and now we have kkkobach trying to climb back on the ks repuke teet as senator

[Lochloosa]

10. I'm in FL. Take your pick.

[milestogo]

13. Ah, how about that Senator who said he was being held hostage last week.

[Lochloosa]

17. Scott. But then there is thirsty Rubio.

[In It to Win It]

45. We got a whacky bunch LOL!

[Phoenix61]

91. Right there with you. We have many to choose from.

Think I’ll go with Gaetz.

[Bradical79]

11. Jim Jordan

I think the reasons are obvious lol.

[gratuitous]

12. Statewide, State Senator Brian Boquist

He's the terrorist who offered to shoot it out with the police if they tried to compel him to do his job at the last legislative session. On the national level, it would probably be Rep. Kurt Schrader, one of the few remaining Blue Dog Democrats. With any luck, Oregon Democrats will find a better candidate to replace him.

[hatrack]

15. Josh Hawley

He hugs Trump so tightly, ribs must have been broken by now.

[CottonBear]

16. Doug Collins and Brian Kemp

Hall of Shame: Paul Broun, Jr. and Zell Miller.

[GoCubsGo]

24. Broun's successor, Jody Hice, is pretty damn bad, too.

I'd say he might be even more embarrassing that Broun.

[CottonBear]

144. He's my congressman.

[GoCubsGo]

161. I'm sorry. And, I thought mine was bad...

I'm stuck with Joe "You lie!" Wilson, another embarrassment. Hice makes him look sane.

[CottonBear]

163. I share in your pain and embarrassment.

I used to have the totally bonkers and batshit crazy Paul Broun, Jr. as my congressman. He is a LOON. OMG.

I used to have John Barrow, a Democrat, as my congressman, but he was eventually gerrymandered out of office.

[GoCubsGo]

167. John Barrow was always divisive name around here.

He was too conservative for many here. But, he beats the alternatives by a mile.

I find it interesting that your district, which has been represented by loonies, abuts that of Jeff Duncan, South Carolina's biggest Congressional kook. Must be something in the water up there?

[YOHABLO]

134. Well since you named a Dem, how about Lester Maddox?

[GoCubsGo]

18. Lindsey Graham.

Although, Nikki Haley, Trey "Benghaaaazzzziiiiii" Gowdy, Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-nutjob), Gov. Henry McMaster, and a host of others run are just as bad. This place is overrun with embarrassing, moronic assholes. Our state legislature is full of embarrassing whackjobs.

[SCantiGOP]

70. I think we win this

The trophy should be named for Strom Thurmond.

[raccoon]

146. I knew someone had beat me to this. Nt

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

19. I'm pretty sure of winning this one.

McConnell and Paul are “my” senators 🤬

[milestogo]

21. Wow. Just wow.

My heart goes out to you.

[In It to Win It]

62. I'm sorry

[JohnnyLib2]

74. Mine too, alas

Yup, we win (?)

[Corgigal]

166. Me three

and we hate them both. Somehow, they still win.

[dweller]

20. Senator No

Jesse f'n Helms

may he rot in eternal putridtude

✌🏼

[TomSlick]

22. We're spoiled for choice in Arkansas - most are embarrassing.

Nevertheless, Tom Cotton has the edge.

[FM123]

25. Matt Gaetz

[CrispyQ]

26. Ken Buck, a stupid fuck. -nt

[JDC]

32. +1

[brokephibroke]

84. Between NRA Buck and Cory the Coward

A tough call.

[Kali]

27. currently?

a few to choose from...gosar, mcsally, biggs, lesko

[Itchinjim]

28. Steve King AND Joni Ernst

[milestogo]

33. She's really got a mouth on her, especially during the last week.

[Bettie]

100. Yeah, Joni is pretty bad

but King is the WORST.

[The Figment]

29. Jeebus...

Kris Kobach
Jerry Moran
Sam Brownback
Mike Pompeo
Pat Roberts

And a few other complete douchenozzles that thankfully escape my memory at the moment!

[MuseRider]

46. I added

Tim Huelskamp (ptooi ptooi)

[lynintenn]

30. Marsha Blackburn followed by Lamar Alexander

[redstateblues]

104. x2

[KT2000]

31. Cathy McMorris Rogers

Washington

[Sewa]

69. How about Matt Shea and Pam Roach

These two are pure evil.

[Wounded Bear]

105. Tim Eyman qualifies because he's running for governor...

[Sewa]

116. I'm going to enjoy seeing him get humiliated

In the primary. His creep factor went off the chart with that chair theft. I can’t see any sane person voting for him.

[Wounded Bear]

142. Sane? We're talking Repubs here...

[ribrepin]

117. He's my vote too for Washington State

Stealing a chair and Siphoning off money from his initiative campaigns. Real winner there.

[KT2000]

141. Both of them

Matt Shea for the win though - despicable guy!

[applegrove]

34. Crack smoking mayor Tom Ford, and now his brother Doug who is premier of Ontario.

[CatMor]

35. Trump

before his move to Florida

[MLAA]

36. Idiot Paul Godard

[RobertDevereaux]

37. Cory Fullashit Gardner, but we will take him down!

[sheshe2]

38. Scott Brown-MA

Won Teddy Kennedy's Senate seat. Elizabeth Warren took it back.

[In It to Win It]

39. Matt Gaetz... he's an attention whore.

Not my rep, but from my state.

[MuseRider]

40. There have been so many!

Kansas......3 way tie, Brownback, Kobach and Tim Huelskamp (ptooi ptooi, you have to spit after you say his name).

[Danmel]

41. Lee Zeldin

Followed closely by Elise Stepanik.

[msongs]

42. tulsi gabbard nt

[Initech]

43. Hard to pick between Devin Nunes and Duncan Hunter.

But thankfully Duncan Hunter has already been fired, so Devin Nunes.

[blogslut]

44. pfft

I'm from Texas. I got a list!

[In It to Win It]

47. Haha!

I'm from Florida. We should start a club.

[mbusby]

76. Every republican...

...outside the Houston city limits.

[sinkingfeeling]

48. Tom Cotton, hands down.

[scheming daemons]

49. Pat Toomey

[TEB]

151. You beat me to it

[Freddie]

156. Don't forget our favorite ex-Senator, Rick "Frothy" Santorum

[Brother Mythos]

175. Among the currently serving elected officials it's Senator Pat "The Tool" Toomey.

Among past elected officials it's gotta be Senator Rick "Steaming Pool of" Santorum. I change the channel every time I see him on the tube. I've never heard him say anything that was not 100 % predictable.

[Leith]

50. Luckily it isn't bad at the federal level

But we've had a couple doozies on the state level:

Michele Fiori: Brassy, loudmouth, not bright. Currently in Las Vegas City Council. Known best for shouting "sit your punk ass down" at a fellow legislator who had the floor. Joined and supported the Bundys at their first armed occupation.

Sharron "Obtuse" Angle: a ditzy nutcase who challenged Harry Reid for his Senate seat. Basically a female Rick Santorum.

[mrs_p]

51. The fool and tool Kevin Cramer nt

[Hekate]

52. Devin Nunes. Mind you we also had Duncan Hunter.

Every time someone bleats about how dividing California into multiple states would gve the country that many more liberal senators, I remind them of yokels like that, because big swathes of my state are populated by likeminded voters who put them in office.

[BigmanPigman]

78. I was going to write Duncan Hunter Jr too.

[Arthur_Frain]

53. Today? Lisa Murkowski

But then its a rotational position.

[NRaleighLiberal]

54. NC - some doozies - THom Tillis, Virginia Foxx, Patrick McHenry, Mark Meadows

useless sacks of shit, all.

[littlemissmartypants]

174. May I add Richard Burr,

David Rouzer, Mark Walker, Dan Bishop, Greg Murphy and Ted Budd? Just wanted to make sure that the NC Freedom Caucus is represented.

[Lindsay]

180. Agreed,

and McHenry is my rep. Useless indeed.

[lordsummerisle]

55. Lindsey Graham n/t

[Mz Pip]

57. Devin Nunes

For the win. 🎉

[ProudMNDemocrat]

58. Jim Hagedorn in the 1st CD.

Totally a Trump ass-kisser

[TruckFump]

60. Devin Nunes

[rufus dog]

68. Mine too

At least I had to go all the way to Fresno to get one. SD County still has one. In the OC we cleared them all out.

[TruckFump]

72. Way better here than most places, but I understand Issa is running again.

Guess he got tired of selling used cars!

[happybird]

61. Local asshole, Virginia state delegate

David LaRock

[mahina]

64. Tulsi ftw

Hands down.

[kewhawaii]

65. Tulsi Gabbard

...and it ain't even close

[xmas74]

67. I'm in Missouri.

We have several to choose from.

[The Genealogist]

179. We have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to rotten elected officials past and present

Roy Blunt, Josh Hawley, Eric Greitens, Todd Akin, Ashcroft, my own Billy Long. Ugh.

[xmas74]

188. I have Icky Vicky

Heartless Hartzler. She's a real peach.

[The Genealogist]

189. My condolences!

[House of Roberts]

71. My state, Alabama.

So naturally, I get to nominate the hands down winner, Roy Moore, aka Rabid Roy, that Jesus boy (apologies to Jim Croce).

[skylucy]

73. Devin Nunes

[calguy]

75. Tom Cotton

Being a Democrat Arkansas means having no representation in government at any level.

[Meadowoak]

79. Moscow Mitch and Rand Paul.

[Maine-i-acs]

80. I got Susie "Sellout" Collins

Do I win anything?

[brokephibroke]

81. Cory "the coward" Gardner

Ken “NRA” Buck is also a POS

[gopiscrap]

82. Matt Shea

[Talitha]

83. Ron Johnson

And here's one for that POS Ryan, too:

[Lefta Dissenter]

85. For Wisconsin,

Can we give honorary mention to Glenn Grothman?

[Archae]

95. If Grothmann was any more right-wing, he'd fly in circles.

Same clown who said making more money "wasn't important" to women.

[Lefta Dissenter]

96. He still owes me a drink, by the way.

He was trying to get me to lobby the dems to pass his raw milk bill. We just happened to be sitting at the same bar, so he offered to buy me a drink so he could tell me about it. But then my friend got us kicked out of the bar, so I never got to hear about the bill. LOL, he was carrying his Ann Coulter book around with him that day.

[LakeArenal]

185. My choice,too.

Grothman called unemployed people lazy slobs.
I ran into him while protesting Palin’s event during the recall. I walked up to him. He got all “ Ooo a supporter” and straightened up. I pointed my finger and started chanting you’re the slob. He ran away.

Ron Johnson most virulent.
Grothman a horrible human.
Luther Olsen a buffoon

Fitzgerald Brothers are to be considered
Sean Duffy who managed to get a spot on CNN

Home of Paul Ryan and Scott “pot hole” Walker.

Gawd we are doomed.

[blue neen]

86. Past: Rick Santorum

Present: Mike Turzai

[Maru Kitteh]

87. Greg Giant-fart-y (Gianforte) The guy praised by Trump for bodyslamming a reporter

from The Guardian.

[backscatter712]

88. Colorado's got plenty of candidates.

Right now, Cory Gardner, for being such a pathetic Trump toadie.

But we've had plenty of other right-wing crackpots - Douglas Bruce, Gordon Klingenschmitt, Bob Schaffer, Marilyn Musgrave, Ken Buck - there's no shortage of GOP evil, stupid, and crazy...

[marble falls]

89. Please. No one is more cursed than Texas - Cruz and Gohmert. What else do I need say.

[MoonlitKnight]

190. Florida says

Hold my beer

[marble falls]

193. Have we compared governors and AGs yet?

[greatauntoftriplets]

90. No longer in office, but...

Rod Blagejovich. And in second place -- Roland Burris.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

92. Matt Shea a Washington state legislator from Spokane Valley

He's a prepper who supports the Cliven Bundy clan.

[icymist]

93. Matt Shea.

I never thought anyone would beat out Pam Roach but, Matt Shea did.

[DinahMoeHum]

97. Elise Stefanik and Lee Zeldin. . .

. . .soon to be the last of a dying breed in NY (I hope)

[yankeepants]

131. Ditto in NY

[Bettie]

99. Steve Fucking King

No one worse.

[A Brand New World]

101. My representative

Washington’s Cathy McMorris Rogers

[Laura PourMeADrink]

102. Too many. Rick Perry!

[milestogo]

111. One of the three Amigos.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

140. I'd have to go with Louie Gohmert

Not just stupid,like Perry, but with the added bonus of crazy.

But there are so many here to pick from.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

164. Good one. And don't feel a vibe that the trumpy

Masses are souring on him at all. Although I know two women that think he's a complete joke (his demeanor) but had to admit they would vote for him again over any super liberal type. When Beto was running there was a lot of excitement.

[Dem_4_Life]

169. As a fellow Texan I have to 2nd Louie Gohmert

But there are just too many to narrow down to just one.

[Ilsa]

170. Me too. He's more embarrassing

than idiot Perry.

[handmade34]

103. Vermont's

elected officials are so awesome that Bernie is the most embarrassing

oh, you mean even State? that has to be Sen. Norman H. McAllister, involved in a "sex for rent" scheme

[Chipper Chat]

107. Mike pence

Such a crappy gubner we were glad to kick him upstairs.

[Brainfodder]

108. Rick Santorum?

The frothy one is the only name of a true high quality recipient of this honor I could remember?

[MontanaMama]

109. Let me nominate Greg 'the thug" Gianforte...

Steve “the doormat” Daines, the resigned “to spend more time with his family” Ryan Zinke...and our newest crazy pants repuke...the MT state rep who wants to shoot socialists (for real)...drum roll....ladies and gentlemen.....Mr. Rodney Garcia! So embarrassing.

https://missoulian.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/billings-legislator-who-insisted-constitution-allows-shooting-socialists-says-he/article_406cc795-0ddf-5635-920a-f96eb9a153e5.html#tracking-source=home-top-story-1

[Love-All]

110. David Nunes and Duncan Hunter

[marble falls]

198. Coulda been worse - you coulda had Devin Nunes.

[2naSalit]

112. We only have one House Rep but he's only one of two!

One of our Senators is equally as egregious. Steve Daines and Greg Gianforte, the media body slammer.

[shanti]

115. Devin Nunes takes the cake

He is NOT my rep though!

[Still In Wisconsin]

122. If you want to go down to the state level, though we have sooooo many others to choose from.

Robin Vos and this piece of shit (Andre Jaque): https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2019/legislators/senate/1941 would be near the top of my list.

[Behind the Aegis]

123. Jim "I have a snowball so no global warming" Inhofe.

Of course, we also have as another senator, that dullard, James Lankford.

[ooky]

124. Tillis.

[Baltimike]

126. Spirow Agnew. nt

[Greybnk48]

127. Scott Walker and Robin Vos should be in there too for Wisco.

We were swamped with embarrassing idiots in the 2010 election and the Teabagger Moron invasion. Scott Walker goes t one of those Churches who flop around on the floor and speak in tongues ffs!

[mokawanis]

172. Walker, Vos, Grothman, Fitzgerald

Far too many right-wing assholes in our beautiful state.

[milestogo]

177. Fitzgerald brothers

Fraternal assholes.

[pdxflyboy]

128. In Oregon on the state level:

State Senator Brian Boquist.

[OliverQ]

129. Andy Harris.

[Stainless]

133. Mike Lee and Chris Stewart are Utah's most embarrassing national officials

The Republican State Legislature along with Governor Gary Herbert and Attorney General Sean Reyes are just plain corrupt and clueless.

[DanieRains]

135. Matt Shea

[jmowreader]

136. Heather Scott, Idaho state representative from our most northern district

You fine folks have heard of Matt Shea, the domestic terrorist who represents Spokane Valley, WA, in the Washington State Legislature.

Now...take Matt Shea, add eyeliner, and turn the hate up from 7 to 12...and you have Heather Scott.

[LeftInTX]

137. Sid Miller and his God Damn "Jesus Shot"

He's the head of the Texas Dept of Agriculture.

There's lots of goofballs here, but Sid Miller is bad.

[liberaltrucker]

138. I'm in Pennsylvania. The whole list would crash DU's server

But number one would be Senator Pat Toomey.

[DFW]

143. Well, THAT'S an easy one

Louie Gohmert

Next?

[Totally Tunsie]

145. Rhode Island is blessed!

Sheldon Whitehouse
Jack Reed
David Cicilline
Jim Langevin

[Skidmore]

147. Steve King. nt

[Boomerproud]

148. Nationally Jim Jordan. State Mike DeWine.

[raccoon]

149. Add Joe Wilson to the list. Not my rep but from SC.

Ill mannered a hole.

[momto3]

150. Mark Meadows and Thom Tillis

[DeeDeeNY]

152. Elise Stefanik, from upstate NY

Her performance defending Trump during the House impeachment was shameful.

[KBlagburn]

153. Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks (R)

[5X]

154. all of them in Ok. n/t

[ExciteBike66]

155. My very own tax collector, Joel Greenberg!

- Islamophobe
- trump humper
- pretended to be a cop and pulled over a woman for speeding, flashed his TAX COLLECTOR badge (yes, that is apparently a thing)

We have a family friend running to unseat him this year, go Moira!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

157. Rick Fucking Scott

Corrupt fraudster, too much of a shit to even utter the words “climate change” or allow anyone else to do so, and barely won any of his three elections but like the cursed creature that he is, he can’t be beat no matter how much he is generally despised.

Compares to Scott, a spineless useless chicken shit like Marco Rubio (“Trump may have committed impeachable offenses, but we can’t remove him!”) feels almost like a Democrat.

That’s how bad Rick Scott is.

Honorable mention goes to Matt Gaetz, but I get the feeling Matt might end up in the Michael Cohen/Lev Parnas bin of pissed off former Trump toadies who were thrown under the bus.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

158. MI-3rd, Justin Amash, formerly Republican, quit the party.

The Republican Party was just too far to the left for our dear representative of Grand Rapids and Battle Creek. Too liberal, too nice.

[DeminPennswoods]

159. PA statewide, Darryl Metcalfe, hands down

Congressionally, freshman Guy Reschenthaler got off to a great start with his Trump toadying performance during the impeachment process. Scott Perry is an all out Trumper, but fortunately is seldom seen or heard.

[Pachamama]

160. Davin Nunes & Kevin McCarthy

Evil & Dumber

[Sunsky]

162. We have quite a few in FL

Marco Rubio, tRick Scott, and Matt Gaetz.
Can't say who is more embarrassing because every time they speak, they embarrass us.

[tavernier]

168. I'm from Florida too

We have a whole smorgasbord, don’t we?

Throw in Bondi for some bloody lady fingers.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

171. Most embarrassing ever is Paul LePage

Most embarrassing currently is Susan Collins.

[VOX]

173. Two Stooges searching for a third: Kevin McCarthy and Devin Nunes.

Just writing their names brings on dyspepsia.

[Bayard]

178. Yertle McConnell and Rand Paul

Nuff said.

[Javaman]

181. I live in Texas, where do I even begin? nt

[JustAnotherGen]

183. Steve Sweeney - Senate President NJ

He's a dirty birdie.

[BigDemVoter]

186. Devin Nunes, I'm CERTAIN.

[nini]

195. Same here

I can't think of another Californian as bad for now.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

187. Past: Santorum, Present: Toomey. 😡

[Stuart G]

191. In Illinois there was a fellow named "Paul Powel"....this is old, but worth a laugh..

He died unexpectedly. So they went to clean up his office. In many drawers, there were stacks of money that were kept in...shoe boxes He has become known as "Shoe Box Paul Power"...It added up to thousands of dollars.
...Evidently, Mr. Powel was taking bribes for this or for that, and had been doing so for years. He was Secretary of State in charge of drivers licenses.

If you want to know more, you can read about it here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Powell_(politician)

Death, scandal and shoeboxes

[eppur_se_muova]

192. Here's an *appointed* official -- Alabama State Climatologist John Christy.

https://www.nsstc.uah.edu/aosc/docs/ChristyJR_SenateEPW_120801.pdf

What, your state doesn't *have* a state climatologist ? Why ever could that be ?

[nini]

194. Nunes

[MattBaggins]

196. Trump

[connecticut yankee]

197. Joe Ganim
