1. Texas is a clear loser in this vote
KBH and Cornyn are two of the worst senators.

6. Wohoo! Texas is #1!!
I was awful tempted to vote for Pennsylvania, which at least gets to boast the goddamned stupidest delegation. I mean, really, they're both fucking morons. Spectre is occasionally a moderate moron, but still one of the biggest wastes of gray matter in Congress.

3. Texas.
Edited on Mon May-23-05 10:00 PM by Arkana
Kay Bailey "You Brought Me The Wrong Kind of Bagel" Hutchinson

and

John "Man on Box Turtle? Sexy!" Cornyn are the WORST delegation.

4. Other: Missouri: Talent and Bond
Quite possibly the Senate delegation most out of line ideologically with the state they represent.

5. Alabama
The traitor Shelby and the lunatic Sessions. I am sorely ashamed of them both.

8. I voted for Oklahoma, as promised.
Sad to say, there are many other worthy contenders for worst delegation.

I looked down that list in yourr poll and said to myself, Jesus, is this the country I actually LIVE in?

I enjoyed your two polls tonight, Bucky. Nice goin'.

11. I'm with you
While there are other worthy contenders,

Tom "rampant lesbianism in public school bathrooms" Coburn

and

Jim "global warming is a hoax" Inhofe

have to take it. Sheesh- what a couple of morons.

9. TEXAS!!We also gave you the fuckin President & Tom Delay!
Edited on Mon May-23-05 10:11 PM by splat@14
Can't understand why the rest of the country buys what goes on down here. Just for example, Texas is 47th out of the 50 states in the quality of education of its children. Bush started "no Child left behind" down here with wonderful administrators like Ron Paige from Houston who eventually came to Washington as the Bush cabinet member for education.

The best things to come from Texas are Molly Ivins and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Texas 47/50 for education, number 1/50 in pollution in Houston, ye haw!
Splat!

10. Woo hoo!!! I finally get to win one of these things...
Pennsylvania, great blue state that it is, has the WORST pair of repub jackasses in the Senate. Don't know how it happened, but we do. Specter is not too bad most of the time, but Santorum counts twice.

Don't believe me?


And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does. It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn't exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution.
-- Senator Rick Santorum, Republican from Pennsylvania, 2003

12. Kentucky. It ain't even close, save maybe Alabama
McConnell and Bunning? A nut case and a REAL nut case.

You didn't include Alaska, crazy Ted Stevens and nepotist Lisa Murkowski are pretty oily, too.

15. Oklahoma
Texas is a close second, but I think OK's beat ours in the nuttiness department.

16. NC Senators Absolutely
suck @ss these days. GAD! I'd rather have Jesse Helmes back than Liddy Dole..what a fruitcake. And Burr...he's a flipweed...not much of a choice between he and Erskine Bowles (aka Mr. NAFTA) in '04.

20. Pennsylvania has no excuse.
The electorate in Texas and Oklahoma are batshit crazy. We already knew that. (Yes, I know OK has a democratic governor, but remember the guy won the election because he was on the winning side of the main issue, cockfighting.)

WTF is Pennsylvania doing electing those two nutjobs. They belong in Texas. And no, don't tell me about how Arlen Specter is a moderate anything. He's not moderate when it's close, and people should have figured that out after his second or third decade in the Senate.

And three more words.....single....bullet....theory.
