WHAT? NO KARL ROVE??????? He’s the biggest political hack of them all and he didn’t even make the list?
No John McCain? As Rachel Maddow reminded us a couple of weeks back, McCain has been on “Meet the Press” 59 TIMES! That’s more than a whole year of McCain! If that doesn’t make him a shining example of the absurd Washington insider scene, what does?
And given the backtracking and ridiculous stances that old fool has taken on in the past 5 years, he has to be on that list.
