U.S. Senator

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    Though he had already flown in 3 NASA shuttle missions, he was virtually unknown until his wife was shot.
    He wasn't a person of faith until his wife's shooting; a month later, he was speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast.
    His decision to participate in NASA's STS-134 Endeavor mission (April 2011) while his wife continued to recover was met with heavy criticism.
    He is an avid Houston Texans fan even though he was raised in New Jersey.
    He said he constantly got into fist fights with his twin brother Scott when they were growing up.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He graduated from the U.S. Marine Merchant Academy (1986).
    He flew 39 combat missions as a pilot during operation Desert Storm.
    The wedding ring he gave Gabrielle Giffords was inscribed with the following: 'You're the closest to heaven that I've ever been.'
    His twin brother, Scott, is also a NASA astronaut.
    After his wife's shooting, he handled his newfound spotlight with dignity and class.
