Awful political web sites

Posted by David Postman at 11:36 AM

A great variety of the worst political websites in the country has been collected by c/net.

The problem in selecting the most ridiculous, poorly crafted, or just plain bizarre political Web sites is an embarrassment of riches: There are so many worthy contenders.

And our own Rep. Jay Inslee gets a place of dishonor:

Meet Jay Inslee, an on-again, off-again Democratic representative to the U.S. Congress from Washington state since 1992. In keeping with the spirit of his tech-centric district--which includes Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond--he offers an official campaign blog. It's outfitted with an internal search engine, options for e-mailing entries, and links for subscribing through 11 different readers. There's just one hitch. Less than two weeks before Election Day, this blog includes absolutely zero entries. This is from the same politico whose campaign biography claims an "unparalleled commitment" to technological innovation. Right.

My favorite of the worst is Texas Rep. Kay Granger and her "killer margarita" recipe.
