30. I'd like to submit Jim Bunning, R-KY for consideration.
This yahoo had been beaned in the head too many times by baseballs to make a whole lot of sense.

When he ran for re-election last year he demanded the Secret Service give him special protection because he was sure that Al Queda was after him personally. Really.

Bunning agreed to debate his Democratic opponent and at the last minute refused to meet face to face (that "security" thing again) and went to the RNC Headquarters in DC and "debated" by teleconference with Democrat Daniel Mongiardo back in Kentucky at the previously planned location. What he didn't bother to tell anyone at the time was that he was getting help with his answers from staffers off camera and cue cards. Throughout the entire debate he was completely lost, mumbled and didn't answer the questions. You can't make this stuff up.

Finally, after seeing his huge lead in the polls evaporate Bunning pulled out the homosexual card and accused Mongiardo of being gay because he was too well dressed and not married. Also, compared Mongiardo's dark-complexioned to one of Saddam Hussein's sons. And it worked with all of them god-fearing christians in the bible belt.

Bunning's behavior throughout the campaign was over the top with rumors floating that he was suffering from Alzheimer's. McConnell orchestrated the entire campaign and I don't expect Bunning to last the entire six years. Prediction - Bunning will retire and be replaced before Fletcher runs for re-election. Fletcher is, also, morally and ethically challenged and has his own problems, but will ensure they get a "good" repug in the seat before being ousted out of office.

Bunning is stupid, clueless and adrift in a fog. The most dangerous kind of repug.
