I have been mulling this over for awhile. McCarthy is a pretty good pick. He was an idiot, a drunk, and a failure of a politician until he got involved in HUAC and found a way of making a name for himself. By pretty much acting like the Gestapo. He brought nothing to the table, only persecuted others.
Michael D. Brown is also a fascinating study in what seems to be a lifetime of half-assed mismanagement.

Nope. We are still digging ourselves out of the hole Billy dug us. Bush' spending in Iraq isn't helping things, either.
Edit: Though I am no expert on the economy, nor would I try to pretend to be one.

Somehow I don't think that amounts to shit. Unemployment low, productivity up, growth stable. All real measures of economic health. Exchange rate? Not so much. All of a sudden American made products become more competitive. Is that a bad thing? Nope.

Hands down Vice President, "Five Deferment Dick" Cheney as he is known in the military. This "man" (I'm being generous here) richly deserves his place in the Dumbass Hall of Fame.
First ballot.
Second would be GWB. Third prize goes to McCarthy and fourth goes to Jimmy Carter just so the democrats don't feel left out.
Dick (Yes he is) Cheney grabs the prize because, unlike Bush, he should know better. Everything he did, he did consciously. That doesn't excuse Bush, it just puts more of a burden on Cheney.
Mr. Cheney is basically your good old fashioned neighborhood alcoholic sociopath. He is the type of person who actually gets his thrills from getting hammered while shooting small defenseless living creatures in cages. Very sporting, Dick.
And starting un-needed wars using distorted and manipulated intelligence.
Why are Bush/Cheney at the top?
Because I rate my picks based upon how many lives they have destroyed. These bums have ruined or ended the lives of so many human beings that they are hands down America's most retarded politicians ever. If they ever have a reality show so-named they will win it easily.
Their bone-headed war in Iraq, alienating our traditional allies while multiplying our enemies, increasing our deficit while decreasing our dollar and reputation, and disrupting and ending the lives of countless human beings..the list goes on and on!
And also for setting the stage for the cherry on the Bush sundae- the looming Bush recession of 2008- his parting gift to America! That final room-clearing smell which will linger. The gift that keeps on giving!
Merry Christmas everyone!

Bob Taft, the prior R governor from Ohio is a nice one.
A few stats,
Promised to protect the rights of gun owners, then removed the "plain sight" provision from the concealed carry bill that was to later-override his veto for the first time in 30 years. Claimed he had to veto it cuz the cops didn't like it.
Gave 50 million in state money to a donor to Taft's campaign to invest for the state. About half goes into coins (this guy actually bought rare coins with the state's money and kept them himself at his buisness). Few years pass, and seven million dollars worth of the coins are unable to be found, no they didn't depreciate, they physically disapear while in possesion of the donor. In all around 12 million is stolen. Taft claims to know nothing about nothing, despite evidence to the contrary. http://www.ohiocitizen.org/moneypolitics/2006/noe_bwc.htm
Accepts around five-thousand dollars in illegal gifts, doesn't report them, and becomes the first governor in the state's history to be charged with crimes while in office. Is convicted, fined by a municipal court judge, ordered to apologize to Ohio citizens, and is censured by the Supreme Court of the state (he's a lawyer).
Rated worst governor in the country by the Cato institute- which would seem an unusual occurance for a Republican, for reasons that are generally covered here (taxes, spending, bullshit): http://cincinnati.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/stories/2005/02/28/daily45.html
Claims a wopping 6.5% approval rating by some estimates. http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051129/NEWS09/511290414/-1/NEWS
Becomes possibly the lowest-rated politician in the history of the United States
"In the wake of convictions for the ethics violations (see criminal conviction section below), Governor Taft's approval rating bottomed out at 6.5%, according to a late November 2005 poll by Zogby, giving him quite possibly the lowest polled approval rating ever by a United States politician.[2] A SurveyUSA poll that same month gave Taft a rating of 18%. A late-2005 article in Time Magazine named him as one of the three worst governors in the country.[3]" See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Taft

but then the mainstream media doesn't tell you about the "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive" which could place bush in office indefinitely...
Here's a couple of articles about it...
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=CHI20070521&articleId=5720 http://www.surfingtheapocalypse.net/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?noframes;read=79897
Here's a video of him mentioning it with some info about it
&feature=related
Here's the offical "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive" Link at the whitehouse's homepage
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070509-12.html
Here's the bill that repealed the 22nd amendment on Febuary 15, 2005
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:H.J.RES.24.IH:
and a direct quote from bush...
"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as i'm the dictator." ~Dec 18, 2000

Bob Barr is the first that comes to mind. For you yunguns' Bob Barr was a hardcore pro-life Republican (congressmen I think, maybe senate). Bob Barr was exposed during the Clinton impeachment shit by Larry Flint for cheating on his wife, getting the chick pregnant, and forcing her to get an abortion which he paid for. As far as "Your vote for America's most retarded politician ever". Well, get a current list of every member of the senate and congress and figure about 90-95 percent fall into the retard category with a few exceptions. Oh BUSH too; not saying Gore or Kerry would have been any less retarded.

But he later became an outspoken opponent of the Patriot Act, and was one of the few who refused to sign it when it was rushed through congress after 9/11. Gotta give him some credit.

so i am guessing that Franklin Delano Roosevelt should actually be at the top of your list using this logic? i mean, WW2 killed many many more American and other civilian lives around the world than the Iraq or Afganistan war.
