I'm not conceding any of those three. Warner may be senile NOW, but he fought vigorously for the troops on the Armed Services Committee for years. Robb was a useless playboy, but not malevolent to my knowledge (plus his office did get me Clinton impeachment tickets). I barely remember the name Trible.

I think Webb's got a lock on Worst Senator Ever.

Trible wasn't a bad Senator. He was just a junior senator in John Warner's shadow.

His wrong move was declining to stand for reelection because he was afraid of a challenge from Chuck Robb. Thus handing the seat over the Robb without a fight. Then Trible tried to out conservative himself to get the nomination for Governor in 1989. He failed.

Since then however, he's done quite a good job as President of Christopher Newport College.
