    Lead investigator in baseball's steroid scandal

Why he might be annoying:

    He's only interviewed one baseball player (Jason Giambi) since he began investigating the steroid scandal.
    He was mentioned as a candidate for baseball commissioner, even though he works in the front office for the Boston Red Sox.
    He turned down an opportunity to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court in order to work on a Universal health care bill.
    Roy Disney accused him of being a puppet of Michael Eisner following his appointment as Disney CEO.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He's tried to negotiate peace between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
    He was the first member of his family to attend college.
    For six consecutive years, he was voted 'Most Respectable Senator' by his colleagues.
    He was appointed to the U.S. Senate by Maine governor Joseph Brennan, whom Mitchell had defeated in a Democratic primary for governor a few years earlier.
