Two Douche-Bags, Formerly Of The Congreƒs, To Whom We Were First Exposed By Imus

Many yrs. ago we were Imus watchers (when he still had that MSNBC gig) partly due to the vagaries of working graveyard, but mostly because we enjoy total ass-holes, especially self-aware ones who are milking it. (It goes w/o saying that this is something we enjoy through the various media. We don't need that sort of thing anywhere but on the other side of an impenetrable window. So, media or zoos, then.)

Anyhoo, 10 or 12 yrs. ago Congreƒsional nobodies Ford & Hayworth first came to our attention, courtesy of the I-man.

In the ensuing period, Ford (well-eviscerated in two quotes from The NYT) went on to lose a Senate race from his home state (Not, we remind you, The Empire State.) & then triangulated his ass to NYC to run the DLC & look for a wealthy & well-connected woman on whom to latch. Having had his hat handed to him by the voters of his home state, now he hopes to make it to the Village By the Potomac via New York. Good luck there, loser.

Like Ford, Hayworth also left Congreƒs (We don't know if it was under his own power, or a suggestion from the voters: If you think research happened for this, think again, ninny!) to "replenish his coffers," & to be able to position himself as a "Washington outsider." (Tough to run against Wash. when your current gig is House Member.) He did this by putting his yrs. as a Phoenix tee vee sportscaster* to good use w/ (Get this:) a radio show. Hayworth had one other little thing to do: Pull a Huckabee & dump a hundred pounds or so of ugly fat (No, don't touch his head!) prior to taking his shot at the national stage (at least at a Huck-type show on Fox).

Thanks a lot for putting ideas in the heads of these two dimbulbs, Imus!
