The 5 Biggest Pricks in Congress
|
A Gallup poll last month put Congress' approval rating at 29 percent, which ties it with the President and puts both exactly two points behind AIDS in terms of popularity. This raises the question: Why does America loathe its elected officials so much? Forgetting that whole "war" thing for a minute, you could make the argument that it's because most members of Congress are arrogant pricks who would rather toss Rosie O'Donnell's salad after a summer hike than do anything remotely kind, thoughtful or constructive for America. Cracked.com has singled out five of the most stubborn, abrasive, inconsiderate pricks on Capitol Hill that you should be keeping your eye on: #5
REP. JAMES SENSENBRENNER, JR. (R-WISCONSIN)
While some lawmakers like to develop a consistent world view and apply it to their governing duties, James Sensenbrenner enjoys a far more inventive approach to lawmaking-one that evidently involves a blindfold, a dartboard and a friend willing to spin him around. Why He's a Prick Among his more absurd positions, the hefty Wisconsinite thinks that broadcasters shouldn't face FCC regulations when they swear; instead, he believes that they should, like murderers and rapists, face criminal prosecution. After all, if there's one thing worse than raping or killing somebody, it's forcing grown adults to hear words like "shit-titties."(Use words like "fucking terrible" and "licks balls" in your Rise of the Silver Surfer review at your peril, bloggers. Sensenbrenner's on the case.) Biggest Prick Moves
#4
SEN. ROBERT BYRD (D-WEST VIRGINIA)
Like many other politicians, Robert Byrd made a few indiscrete and youthful mistakes. He once drank a beer while under the legal drinking age. He took his father's car for a drive a few times without asking. Oh, and he served as the Exalted Cyclops of his local Ku Klux Klan chapter. You know, typical dumb teenager stuff. Why He's a Prick To his credit, since his involvement with the Klan in the 1940s, when he wrote letters discussing "this beloved land of ours [becoming] degraded by race mongrels," Byrd has apologized hundreds of times. So the next time you pause to consider that one of America's senators once led the Matoaka, West Virginia, chapter in recruitment drives and hate rallies, remember that he said he was sorry.

Okay last one, but 100,000 over 10 years is only 10,000 a year. Thats acutally really really really small compared to the amount of money going toward the crap the bush administration payed for.
no wait, the racist dude is democrat. HOW THE HELL DID HE GET ELECTED?!! WTF WERE THEY THINKING!
notice how they're ALL REPUBLICANS. dumbasses
Notice how most of these people are republican
Rep. Barney "the T-Girl" Frank (D-Mass) is mush bigger p***k than any of the guys listed here. The House Banking Queen has a big share of the responsibility for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mess but yet he presumes to lecture banks and investment firms on why they somehow fucked up.
Dear Darkman21,
It has come to our attention that you exist. This is a mistake. You are currently wasting valuable carbon, space, and oxygen that could be used for more important things.
We ask that you rectify this situation by killing yourself. Immediately. Any method will do, but lighting yourself on fire is preferable. Ashes are easier to sweep up than a body.
We thank you for your attention to this matter. We assure you that you will not be missed.
Sincerely,
The rest of the world.
I'm not going to say that Democrats are always right, or that they are less likely to be corrupt, but as the article pointed out, that isn't the same as being a p***k
Talking about probing urethras in everyday speech should be a punishable criminal offence. I am still cringing.
you mean to tell me that politicians are pricks? no way...
couldn't help but notice you basically only pick on republicans, with the exception of one dumbass racist redneck
@cpo-mack
The two party system is bullshit. There are both 'Democrats' and 'Republicans' who are corrupt. Indeed, most politicians are corrupt.
um how bout Ted Kennedy? Drowning your mistress anyone? Of all the lists they make that are like 10 people long, i feel like they could have made this one way longer
Wow, Darkman21, just...wow. Seriously, do the world a favor and stop breathing.
just like it said he told a group of men to f**k themselves
What is Dick Cheney telling "a room full of grown men to go f**k themselves" referring to?
Rangel, Frank, and my hometown representative Pete Stark take the cake. Those 3 guys are a lifetime worth of pricks.
Gary Condit (D), William Jefferson(D), Mel Reynolds (D), Corrine Brown (D), Jim Moran(D), Jim Trafficant (D), Charles Rangel (D), Tim Mahoney (D) all guilty pricks. And how about Chris Dodd (D), Barney Frank (D) and Maxine Waters (D) who are principals in the housing market crash, Then there are the 200+ D's in the House, and ALL the D's in the Senate, who are PRICKS for passing a bill that NONE OF THEM EVEN READ, that will rob our children and cripple our economy all to pay back their cronies. Let's not even talk about D mayors across the US, or D governors.
There ARE R Pricks/Crooks, and I'll happily line them up against the proverbial wall as well. But you D's shouldn't cast stones.
I am the very model of a modern major spam-machine...

Don't you know?! Cracked is at the cutting edge of political satire and news. Anything said here influences the rest of world! Can't you tell by all the arguing that goes on in the comments section? If it doesn't stop here, it will never be stopped! The world cannot know that republicans only care about power and money. Oh wait, I think that secrets out.
4 Dems and 1 GOPer ? And former Congressmen at that? Like Cheney?
How about Gerry Studds- who molested a 17 yr old page. DEMOCRAT.
How About Dan Rostenkowski- Democrat.Obstruction of Justice, abusing Payroll.
Nancy Pelosi's PAC paid husband's firm nearly $100,000 over past decade.
Could go on and on....

In relation to Robert Byrd...

He erected a statue of himself in his home state, when monuments to famous people aren't allowed to be made with tax dollars until the person is dead for 50 years. If I was a citizen there I would very much consider suing for the blatant (and illegal) misuse of tax dollars.
