The trick, of course, is limiting yourself to ten.
Of course, everyone says and does the occasional dumb thing on the job. But each of these people — Democrat and Republican alike — have that special kind of dumb that makes the reader shake a their head in wonderment (whether at the person him- or herself, or at the constituents who keep voting these turkeys back to DC).
The list (and no doubt your favorite is missing, there being so many choices):
10. Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY)
9. Representative Patrick Kennedy (D-RI)
8. Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT)
7. Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA)
6. Representative Jean Schmidt (R-OH)
5. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA)
4. Representative J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ)
3. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK)
2. Representative Donald Young (R-AK)
1. Representative Katherine Harris (R-FL)
(via J-Walk)
That is quite a trick!
