Big Shoes to Fill

He's silly. He's brash. He's a fool. He says whatever he thinks with no filter. And still, he's worth eight billion dollars and might even end up our next president. Of course I mean Donald Trump, who today is holding the top spot among Republican contenders for the 2016 presidential nomination.

How did this happen? And when? So many people are responsible for the downward slide of our political leaders, it's hard to know where to begin, and certainly there is no end in sight. Here are just a few of the most colorful past and present occupants of the political Clown Car:

Bill "Blue Dress" Clinton
Anthony "Here's My Weiner" Weiner
Hillary "Pants On Fire" Clinton
Marion "The Bitch Set Me Up" Barry
Gary "Catch Me if You Can" Hart
John "Love Child" Edwards
John F. "No Wonder My Back Hurts" Kennedy
Edward "Watch Out for the Bridge" Kennedy
Eliot "How Much Do I Owe You?" Spitzer
Sarah "There's Russia!" Palin
Spiro "What Taxes?" Agnew
Richard "I Am Not a Crook" Nixon
