> [@The\_Scrivener](#): > > (But I wonder why no one’s mentioned Mahmoud Ahmadinejad yet? . . . Politics aside . . . I would definitely do him. But my “not with a 10-foot pole guy” would be Barney Frank. He single-handedly puts to rest the idea that gay guys are all hot. And if he ever opened his mouth, I’d think I was in bed with Elmer Fudd. ---

Lisa Lampenelli. But I guess I wouldn’t have a shot anyway, because I’m not black. 🙂 ---

> [@ZipperJJ](#): > > How would you feel if he cried afterwards? Cuz you know he would. You’re right, I didn’t think of that…if I had to screw the crazy Mormon, I would probably be dining and dashing. So just as he was welling up I’d be throwing my pants on. Wearing his Christmas sweater would also be a no go. > [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > So many choices, but I’ll pick one that I think will get votes: > > Andy Dick > > I know I’m going to come up with the one perfect answer as I lie awake in bed at about 4:30 a.m., but that’s the best I can do for now. Actually, I’m changing my answer to Andy Dick. On an intellectual level, Kim Jong Il disgusts me more, but I don’t think his English is good, so I might end up feeling bad for him. If he spoke Korean at me, I certainly couldn’t hate him as much as I could Andy Dick, because I wouldn’t know what he was saying. Andy Dick is a disgusting, mentally and physically repulsive man; watching one of his horrific shows years ago made me queasy. Good call, **Dung Beetle**. Andy Dick it is. ---

Lots of similar , but Paris Hilton is currently at the top of the list. ---

Why all the hatred for Andy Dick? I had never known about him, so Googled him, and found a moderately-good looking guy with a flair for . . . um . . . kookiness. Am I missing something? ---
