U.S. Senator

The Resume

    (June 26, 1939- )
    Born in Phoenix, Arizona
    Married Lyndon B. Johnson's daughter Lynda (1967)
    Lieutenant Governor (1978-82) and Governor (1982-86) of Virginia
    US Senator from Virginia (1989-2001)
    Co-chaired the Iraq Intelligence Commission (2004)
    Democrat

Why he might be annoying:

    Former Miss Virgina Tai Collins claimed they had an 18-month long affair.
    His denial was that all they shared was a bottle of wine and a nude massage in a hotel room.
    When he was accused of attending parties in the 80s where cocaine had been openly used, he claimed to have no idea what cocaine even looked like. (Um, it's a white powder, right?)
    He had a feud with former Democratic governor Douglas Wilder that culminated in three of his aides being arrested for illegally recording Wilder's cell phone calls.
    He got reelected in 1994 solely because the Republicans nominated convicted felon Oliver North as their candidate.
    He was the only Democratic incumbent Senator defeated in the 2000 elections.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He served two tours of duty in Vietnam as a Marine, earning the Bronze Star.
    As governor, he balanced the Virginia state budget without raising taxes.
    Fellow Democrats removed him from the Senate Budget Committee for advocating deeper cuts in federal spending.
    He was the only southern Senator to vote against the Defense of Marriage Act (banning the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages), noting 'Despite its name, the Defense of Marriage Act does not defend marriage against some imminent, crippling effect.'
    During a trip to Baghdad with the Iraq Study Group (2006), he was the only member of the group to venture outside of the American-controlled 'Green Zone.'
