Bill Maher To Ask Viewers To Help Him Unseat The Worst Member Of Congress

On tonight's episode of his HBO show, Bill Maher will announced a plan to oust the "worst sitting member of Congress." Via the New York Times:

Mr. Maher and his staff plan to ask viewers to make a case for their individual representatives in the House to be selected as the worst in the country. After some culling and analysis, one member of Congress will be selected, and the show will follow up through November with examples of what it considers terrible work by that representative. Mr. Maher will make occasional visits to that member’s district to perform stand-up and generally stir up hostile feelings toward the show’s target. “This year, we are going to be entering into the exciting world of outright meddling with the political process,” Mr. Maher said in an email message. The project — which the show is calling the “flip the district” campaign — is intended to get real results, said Scott Carter, the show’s executive producer. Among the criteria for selecting a representative, other than some degree of outrageousness in statements or voting record, is that the member be in a truly competitive race. Those running unopposed will not be selected, no matter how egregious the show’s fans may claim them to be. “We want the chance to win,” Mr. Carter said. The choice may be a Republican or a Democrat, though he acknowledged, “with our viewers voting, I imagine it is much more likely we will pick a Republican.”

Oh, WHO to vote for? Louie Gohmert? We can't vote for Crazy Eyes - she's retiring. Let's hear your choices.
