U.S. Congressman

The Resume

    (January 2, 1961- )
    Born in Queens, New York
    Represents Florida's 19th District (January 1997-January 2010)
    Democrat
    Wrote 'Fire Breathing Liberal' (2008)
    First member of Congress to co-sponsor Dennis Kucinich's articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush

Why he might be annoying:

    He called Pat Buchanan a 'Nazi sympathizer.'
    Bill O'Reilly reported that his official Florida residence is actually his mother-in-law's house in a gated 55-and-older community that Wexler does not meet the age requirements for (2008).
    He is best-known to most of the public for an appearance on the Colbert Report where Stephen Colbert convinced him to 'say a few things that would really lose the election for you if it were contested.' (July 20, 2006)
    He then said, 'I enjoy cocaine because it's a fun thing to do' and 'I enjoy the company of prostitutes for the following reasons.... Oh, because it's a fun thing to do. Much like cocaine. If you combine the two together, it's probably even more fun.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was named Most Valuable Congressman by the Nation (2007).
    He said, 'I take my responsibilities as a member of Congress very seriously. But at the same time, I hope I don't take myself too particularly seriously.'
    After mainstream news shows ran negative stories about his Colbert Report appearance, Colbert told viewers, 'Vote Wexler: the man's got a sense of humor, unlike, evidently, journalists.'
