Lyin' Cheatin' Bastards

Headed to Hell in a Handbasket


Republicans love sex. Democrats love

money. Governors of both parties are

the biggest Bastards of them all, and

many of them run for president.


From Anthony Weiner’s wiener to Larry Craig’s

infamous bathroom toe-tap, we’ve come to

expect nothing less than complete and total

dishonesty from our elected officials. But it’s

getting hard to keep track of who’s done what—

so we have created this handy compendium.

In only a matter of minutes we found more

scandals than we knew what to do with so we

had to whittle them down to the worst of the

worst. 


In Lyin’ Cheatin’ Bastards, no political

office is sacred, no party is immune, and no

sin that’s been punished goes unrecognized.


From small-town mayors to well-known state

representatives, the antics of those who serve

our nation are chronicled here for all eternity.

If only a handful of publicly-elected officials

failed to meet our expectations, we could

call it a fluke. A bad streak, perhaps. But

today so many of them are being arrested for

criminal activity or confessing to inappropriate

relationships that it may be time to ask if

there’s a deeper problem.


Do the right people run for office? Have we set

the bar too low? Is there anything we can do

about it but laugh?
