Political Scandals of the New Millennium From Anthony Weiner's wiener to Larry Craig's infamous bathroom toe-tap, we've come to expect nothing less than complete and total dishonesty from our elected officials. But it's getting hard to keep track of who's done what so we have created this handy compendium. In only a matter of minutes we found more scandals than we knew what to do with so we had to whittle them down to the worst of the worst. In Lyin Cheatin Bastards, no political office is sacred, no party is immune, and no sin that's been punished goes unrecognized. From small-town mayors to well-known state representatives, the antics of those who serve our nation are chronicled here for all eternity. If only a handful of publicly-elected officials failed to meet our expectations, we could call it a fluke. A bad streak, perhaps. But today so many of them are being arrested for criminal activity or confessing to inappropriate relationships that it may be time to ask if there's a deeper problem. Do the right people run for office? Have we set the bar too low? Is there anything we can do about it but laugh?
