Douchebag of the Week

Larry Liston, R-Colorado Springs, Colo.

A Republican state representative in Colorado has apologized for calling unmarried teenage parents "sluts."

Larry Liston of Colorado Springs was talking at a GOP caucus meeting about teenagers who have babies and expect the government to support them.

"In my parents' day and age, they were sent away, they were shunned, they were called what they are," Liston told the caucus. "There was at least a sense of shame." He then used the word "slut," adding, "I don't mean just the women. I mean the men, too."

Because the person in the post below is charged with serious crimes, he is ineligible. This contest is for idiots who have done something thoughtless, small-minded, ignorant and/or stupid, but that involved no physical harm to anyone. To include someone charged with or guilty of serious wrongdoing in this contest would trivialize their actions, alleged or otherwise, and that ain’t how I roll.
