Vote for the slimiest politicians in the last 5 years

Vote for your top 3. Who did the worse thing, or deserved to go the most?

I went back roughly the last 5 years. Right now it's balanced with 5 Dems and 5 Rebubs. Did I miss any? I probably did.

Not sure how you could get any slimier than Edwards.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Isn't slimy and politician redundant?

The silent majority will be silent no more.

I actually did think of him but his ethics problems (in Congress, that is) were back around 1997, and I think his last marriage was over 10 years ago.

If we go back that far the list would be too big! Bill Clinton and Duke Cunningham could be considered too.

Point taken... :biggrin:

I voted for Edwards as one of my "3" anyway...

I didn't forget him, he's a slime but just not as slimey.

Yeah, cheating on two wives, and serving one of them with divorce papers while she's in the hospital with cancer isn't nearly as slimey...if you're a Righty.

I voted Weiner, Spitzer and Edwards. Some of them I didn't know much about, so I could be wrong. Does slimiest mean the act or the lying and cover-up? Whatever, they are pretty much all slime-balls.

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

I'm surprised there aren't more votes for William Jefferson. He's the guy that took bribes and hid $90,000 of FBI marked bills in his freezer. He was sentenced to 13 years, the longest ever for a Congressman. But it's up to you to decide what slimiest means. Jefferson may of committed the biggest crime, but it's tough to beat John Edwards.

Reading that article, I see the previous longest sentence was 8 years for Duke Cunningham. I thought he was convicted in the early 2000's, but now I see it was in 2006 so I should of included him on this poll. I'll go ahead and add him, or replace the shirtless Craigslist guy Chris Lee who has gotten zero votes so far. This poll lets you change your votes.

Oh well, now I've learned adding someone cleared the whole poll. Feel free to revote. John Edwards was leading by a long shot at the time.
