		<description>Now, I'm always suspicious of the Saints but jaysus H. this Winder guy looks like his visage would be more expected at that Dinosaur Monument over in Vernal

I pick up a sulfurous smell that don't portend well.
To be honest, somebody mentioned Waxman and with him, those Boca del Inferno nostrils open onto some of the outer rings of hell to be sure.

But Winder, he take the cake, proving suburbia (West Valley City didn't even exist in the 60's) is the Spawning Ground of Hell.</description>

		<description>Mike Winder, the new mayor of West Valley City, UT. may not be a congressman, but he certainly deserves a spot in this lineup.</description>

		<description>Wes, maybe the dude used tax dollars to hire a fashion coach who told him to avoid the Jack Kemp look - at least on 'school photo day.'

If you come across a 'full hair' photo of this dude, shoot me the URL and I'll post it here.</description>

		<description>Jim,

That's a "small" hair day in that photo.  I've seen the hair hat at three times that volume.  But maybe, since I'm follicley challanged, I'm just jealous!</description>

		<description>&lt;img src="http://images.chron.com/blogs/txpotomac/tomcole_bio_pic2.jpg" alt="Photo of Tom Cole" /&gt;Tom Cole's photo is certainly striking- but I'm not sure he trumps Filner.

Other nominees?</description>

		<description>You are right, Bob Filner looks creepy, but I live in Oklahoma, and &lt;a href="http://cole.house.gov/biography.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;my congressman&lt;/a&gt; has got him beat!</description>

		<description>I'll put my "representative", Mike Rogers, in the mix.  In his "official" photo, he's not quite as clownish looking at Filner, but let me assure you that he's every bit as venal looking in real person.  He's locally known as the "undertaker" because of his quaffed, hair-sprayed hair that is subtly - and I'm sure expensively - combed forward and glued into place just like your local mortician.

This guys a real tool.  A night school lawyer, whose alma mater was only recently recognized in other States (not all but more than just Alabama!), he spends his days split between his used car lot (no kidding) and his campaign office.  His "office" is right behind his old law building which he can no longer practice out of because of House rules.  Anyway, Rogers was a player in the Alabama GOP, and when our former Representative, Bob Riley, left Washington to become our governor, Rogers was the first in line to get his endorsement.  And, who would have thunk it, he was elected.  There were other players in the GOP who got pretty sore at Mike and Bob's little deal.  But they were soon placated when Bob and MIke handed out some real nice sinecures.

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;NOAH PUGSLEY&lt;/strong&gt; posted the following response to the Facebook posting of this blog: &lt;em&gt;Oh, I dont know Mr. Bovard. He almost looks sweet, like the slow kid who was just fast enough to not be in special ed. If it werent for the fact that he deals in robbery, torture and murder for a living he'd almost be likable. 

Oh, and btw, Chuck Schumer hands down the creepiest. In every picture of him I have *ever* seen he looks to be snarling ... Read Moreand judging me. Watching him is like that feeling you get if you ever turn on law and order, unbridled smarmy arrogance wrapped in a NY accent and attitude. Just terrible.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>What is it with House Members from California? They all give me the creeps. Waxman is scarier than Nosferatu and this guy, Filner, looks like he belongs to the Hannibal Lecter Fan Club. His photo says: "I've screwed you and there's nothing you can do about it."</description>
