Pretty nice rogue's gallery, including one from 100 years ago and one from 160 years ago.

Yes, if they are rats, and if their transgression did not involve offending one of their favorite special interest groups.

I’m really waiting for a John Edwards comeback.

Between his known corruption as governor of Arkansas, his notorious disdain for America’s fight against Communism, and his wife’s program of calling Bill’s various victims “bimbos”, Bill Clinton was already disgraced by the time he ran for President in 1992.

The Democrat voters did not care. They hid behind the tissue thin lie of “It’s the economy. stupid.”

Yup. All except one (Michael Grimm) are (or were) members of the Party of Virtue.

Well, this article was limited to disgraced politicians of New York State, but you are both right of course.

I’m pretty sure Teddy did some disgraceful things in New York State.

Heh heh, you're probably right. I'm not sure if the Carnegie Deli had Teddy's favorite sandwich.

Yes. The American electorate is distracted and uninterested. Promise free stuff and you’re back in the game.

I was starting to worry Anthony the Weiner didn’t make the list. Glad to see him there, even if only in last place.

Yes, he should get back in politics.

They used to say unless you’re caught with a live boy or a dead girl you can weather the storm. I guess Neck Brace Kennedy proved that one wrong, as did Condit and Scarborough.

It appears Al Franken is plotting his return.

The ambulance chasing lawyer or the guy who talks to dead people?

I always thought they should team up!
