Rep. Christopher Lee
I know this guy has resigned and is returning the money he raised for his campaign (because of a Craigslist hooker-trolling scandal), but what outrages me is something far different. How the hell did this guy get elected without a bunch of viral web video attack ads running against him based on the fact that his name is Christopher Lee, and there are tons of old Hammer horror movies starring an actor named Christopher Lee that they could have used? They could have said he would help corporations suck money from average workers while showing Christopher Lee as Dracula sucking blood from someone’s neck in The Horror of Dracula. They could have said that he would stand with the NRA against sensible gun control policy reform while showing Christopher Lee as the Frankenstein monster getting shot in the eye in The Curse of Frankenstein. They could have said that he’s trying to hide what his true positions are and what he's really like while showing Christopher Lee getting all wrapped up in bandages, and afterwards as the mummy from The Mummy. They could have said that he'll do anything to get out of telling the truth while showing Christopher Lee getting his tongue cut out in The Mummy. They could have said that he’s going to help the fundamentalist Christians take over more of your lives through government while showing Christopher Lee as the malevolent priest laughing evilly with eerie back-lighting in To the Devil a Daughter. Ooh! I’m mad at his challenger’s ad guys for not doing any of this! I could go on and on, but you get the point. (Yes, even as Saruman the White fighting for the evil Sauron against the benevolent Fellowship of the Ring! It’s practically endless what they could have done…)
