Vote: Best/Worst Senators
There are several reasons to take a look at (and maybe even vote in) this "Best Senator" poll.
First, you can see where your senators rank.
Second, you can actually see what these people look like. (The answer, of course: white, male.)
Third, there's the fact that of the first 49 senators ranked by "integrity, honor, dignity and character" only one is a Republican: Chuck Hagel.
Fourth, there's the fact that of all the Democrats, the only two to not crack the top 50 are Hillary Clinton and Mary Landrieu, of Katrina fame.
Fifth, there's the parade of crooks and crazy men who do better than Joe Lieberman and John McCain, Nos. 98 and 99 respectively.

My only regret is that there are no 0s here for my vote for Saxby, a total bottom-feeder. I'm also saddened that there is no category for hair that appears most likely to fly off a senator's head, which would go to John Warner of course. Also, there should be a category of people who unfortunately were not named Richard Head so you could call them a Dick Head. Oh well, life is full of little disappointments.

Mary Landrieu is my senator. She is hardly the senator I want, in terms of her conservative values in many key areas, but for honesty and integrity, I'd give her a high grade. No one fights harder than Landrieu when she believes in something, and in terms of constituent interaction, no one could be better.
