10.) Thomas Call me Uncle Tom Jefferson
Who was he?
The third President of the United States (1801–1809) and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence
What did he do?
President Jefferson just so happened to have a kid with his 17 year old, mixed race, slave, Sally Hemings while he was married to Martha Jefferson. After she died, he had another 5 kids with her bringing his total to 6 kids. Who needs Viagra? Jefferson didnt.
9.) Bob Your Head Allen
Who was he?
Former American politician who was a Republican member of the Florida House of Representatives from 2000 until 2007.
What did he do?
Mr. Allen was arrested in 2007 for offering $20 to an undercover police officer for oral sex in the rest room of a public park. Eventually, Allen was convicted, despite his claims of innocence, and sentenced to the lofty $250 fine and six months hard time (on probation). He resigned from the Florida House of Representatives 7 days later, on November 16, 2007.
8.) Mark Feel me Foley
Who was he?
Mark Foley is a former member of the United States House of Representatives. He served from 1995 until 2006, representing the 16th District of Florida as a member of the Republican Party.
What did he do?
Theres something about Florida that makes people crazy. Hes a creep and IMd a 16 year old male congressional page with the exact words, did you spank it this weekend yourself? Ha! The funny part is that this wasnt even close to the whole conversation which went a little something like this (exact transcript):
how my favorite young stud doing good so your getting horny did you spank it this weekend yourself well I have a totally stiff wood now we may need to drink at my house so we dont get busted Do I make you a little horny?
I guess he needs to brush up on his Instant Messaging skills because that was creepy. All I can hear is Chris Hansen from Datelines, How to catch a predator walking in and saying, Get a Ruler and Measure It For Me? Do you think that is appropriate when talking to a 16 year old boy, Mark? Ha! Busted.
Extra Creepy side note: As chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, he introduced legislation targeting online sexual predators. He also said in a 2002 NPR interview, Where I have to draw the line is using children for the excitement of those more mature people who should know the difference and know better.

When the affair began, Condit was 53 and Levy was 23. Its crazy to think that he still held his security clearance and his seat on the Intelligence Committee after this happened.

Eventually, those own laws took him down as he was involved in a big money prostitution sting. Known as, client #9 Elliott Spitzer had to resign and settle for a talk show on CNN. Winnnnnnnnnnning.

He quickly deletes it and sends out a tweet saying that his Facebook account was hacked. The [hot] girl who was received the photo said, I think that Anthony Weiner should resign, because he lied to the public and the press for more than a week. So, if you lie for less than a week its ok?
3.) John The Jerk Edwards
