1. Frist is also absent...from the bottom list.

:dunce:

[Eric J in MN]

2. Their smearing of Mark Dayton is garbage.

Mark Dayton (D-MN) is my Senator, and he’s one of the best Senators.

He voted against the Iraq War. If every Senator had done that, thousands and thousands of people who were killed in Iraq would still be alive. Also, Iraq wouldn’t be full of depleted uranium.

3. What a bogus list (although I have to cheer the inclusion of one

of my own Senators, Jim Bunning, on the worst list...why isn't the other Kentucky loser, Mitch McConnell, on the worst list?) Where is Barbara Boxer? And John Kerry? Etc.? Etc.?

4. Specter and McCain? Give me a break--both 4 star sellouts

[Mz Pip]

5. Any list that doea not include

Cornyn, Santorum, Brownback or Stevens as "Worst" is not at all credible.

John Kyl is a twit. Not as bad as Brownback but he's still pretty bad.

6. Ah, more media fellation of McCain

What, exactly, has McCain done in the past four years? Besides engage in orgies with the media talking heads? Maybe that's why he's on the list. :eyes:

The fact that John Kerry and Russ Feingold are absent from that list invalidates it. Six Republicans and four Democrats? IS there a Republican alive anymore who is more than just a Bsuh rubber-stamp? Didn't think so.

Edit: Maybe they filled their "librul" quota with Kennedy and Durbin, because God forbid conservatives be underrepresented on such a list. :eyes:

7. Thad Cochan did -- in other words, the list is worthless

8. What kind of worthless list is this?

TIME has gone to hell.

As you'd expect, they have 4 Dems and 6 Repukes for the "best senator" list.
It's the media's idea of being "bipartisan".

Granted, Levin and Kennedy are there, which is good...but otherwise, meaningless.
