Seriously, Tom Cruise. ---

This would be a lot easier if [Edith Massey](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Massey) or [Anne Ramsey](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Ramsey)were alive. I’ll vote for **Michelle Bachmann**. ---

Man, you guys clearly can’t have the sexytimes with people who are physically attractive yet intellectually dumb. I mean, c’mon, Michelle Bachmann is prettttty darn cute. This isn’t marriage, this is havin’ a good time. I’m surprised. ---

I’ve never been able to understand why so many people (men and women) are drooley-gaga over Pamela Anderson. Her physical appearance combined with her irritating personality put her at the top of my “wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole” list. ---

My husband always makes me play that “Kill, Marry, Fuck” game with various assorted republicans. It’s always the least gross of the choices. (I imagine George W is a moron and easily swayed so he’d be ok to marry - I could be like Laura and do what I wanted. He wouldn’t care.) My vote on this one? Cheney. He is the most vile human I can think of, above and beyond Rush (who is just a horses ass, IMO) and I cannot be having sex with evil. That’s wrong. I’d take repugnant (Andy Dick, Glenn Beck, Hannity et al) before evil. ---
