Blagojevich gets the nod for his whole career thus far. I don't see any attention span issues at all. The guy has more than a few issues.

I bet he regrets poisoning all of those orphans now.

The politicians that voted for the bailout are far worse than any of the people that made that poll.

Ted Stevens? George Bush? Come on now.

 
RockyMtnMan 2008-12-24 11:17:45 AM  
Blagojevich is the "Naughtiest Politician".

....oooOOOOoO....shiny!

wow...CNN sure is in the tank for Obama. Wright. Ayers. Rezko. Blago. Obama is probably going to be impeached on January 21st.

Doubtful. Obama's going to smoke the Constitution and no one remembers how to impeach the President.

To be fair, Elliot Spitzer's professional career was a bit more, well, professional. Blagojevich's career is the political equivalent of a Black Friday sale at Wal-Mart.

 
canyoneer 2008-12-24 11:33:46 AM  
Blago is par for the course in Illinois. His big mistake was in being too blunt.

Poisoning orphans in the park?

Spitzer paid for a fine piece of ass.

Blagojevich repeatedly screwed over a state with 12 million people.

I'm going with Blagojevich.

 
I Said [TotalFark] 2008-12-24 11:44:19 AM  
Blago is the winner here. Spitzer got with hookers. Blago is a farking lunatic.

What a great Republican plan.

"Fellas, cause all the ruckus you want this year. Gay sex, blatant corruption, heck you can even nominate a rodeo clown for VP! But whatever you do, avoid the last week of the year news cycle. We all know journalists have the memory capacity of a broken Texas Instruments calculator from 1981. Whatever is the last thing to happen will catch all the flack."


Meanwhile, in the secret Democrat bunker underneath the Washington franchise of Chili's...

"Okay, fellas, cause all the mayhem you want this year. Adultery, blatant corruption, heck you can even send obscure movie actors to the Senate! Who was it who played 'Baggage Handler #2' in Trading Spaces again? Just avoid the last week of the year news cycle. Oh, by the way, is everyone here? What? Rod's home sick? Well, someone forward him the minutes."

I think selling a seat in the US Senate to the highest bidder is a bit worse than having wild sexy with a hooker.

Quel: I think selling a seat in the US Senate to the highest bidder is a bit worse than having wild sexy with a hooker.

Yep. Spitzer and Craig and the like wrecked their careers with personal shenanigans that had little to do with their offices, but which made it impossible for them to do anything without their personal behavior dominating the conversation. They deserve some ridicule for taking stupid risks for personal pecadillos.

Blasaxgkocovovitcxz and Stevens specifically treated their offices as cash machines belonging to themselves. They were the definition of corruption and deserve the pillory, the lash, and prison.

If Spitzer was a Clinton or Kennedy he or his wife could still become a Senator.

/I think he is scum but his crimes do pale in comparison to Blago and Steven. Both of which should go to jail for a long time. Spitzer should have went for using tax funds on his mistresses.

 
Quasar [TotalFark] 2008-12-24 12:55:22 PM  
If you actually think Spitzer's misconducts were even in the same realm as Blago's alleged (snort) and Stevens' convicted ones, subby...

 
deltabourne 2008-12-24 12:57:53 PM  
If anything, I want to shake Spitzer's hand. That hooker was pretty hot.

 
Crystal embedded data matrix 2008-12-24 01:25:34 PM  
I think subby is hinting that Spitzer was the "naughtiest" since his offense was, well, naughty.

/but what do I know

Wow- an unexpected Tom Lehrer reference. Nicely played.

Finally, deltabourne and I agree on something.

 
generaltimmy 2008-12-24 03:14:37 PM  
Sex is nothing, what Blago is (accused of)doing is real corruption

 
Gyrfalcon [TotalFark] 2008-12-24 03:38:27 PM  
To be fair, it did say "naughtiest". Not "dirtiest" or "most likely to become dictator of a small African nation by 2010," in which case it would be either Cheney or, well, Cheney.

Yeah, hot but not THAT hot. Come on guys, neither of you would pay more than $20 for her and you know it.

Depends, can I keep my socks on?

I totally loved the guy last night subbing for Chris Matthews who couldn't pronounce, Blago-jega-vitch, or something like that, he said.

 
SilentStrider [TotalFark] 2008-12-24 11:06:37 PM  
I would have picked Blago over Spitzer as well.

Weak attempt

Political scandal > sex scandal, so ya I think that was called the right way.

Arnold T Pants: The politicians that voted for the bailout are far worse than any of the people that made that poll.

and the worse of those are those that voted against it until they added the 130B in bribe---er pork spending that the dems put in there to get them.

Those are the worse, the sellouts.

 
MBrady 2008-12-25 07:11:57 AM  
Oh pulease.

What about Sen Chris Dodd? The guy who came up with the idea of removing the mortgage restrictions so that the mortgage companies could lend to people who had poor credit, no credit, no jobs, etc?

Those same laws were enacted back in the early 1930's, AFTER the stock market crash of 1929, to prevent the same problems that caused the crash of 1929.

So thank the DEMOCRATS for that one.

 
MilesTeg 2008-12-25 11:58:19 AM  
"Naughty"? How about "Corrupt"?

Oh yea, it's CNN and Democrats...

 
ZipSplat 2008-12-25 03:04:52 PM  
Spitzer banged a whore.

Blagojevich tried to sell a Senate seat.

One of these things impacts you as a citizen, can you guess which one?

To be fair, the Spitzer incident drove the price for a pretty whore through the roof.
