Vote for PHB creep of the night - Haley Barbour or FL Gov. Rick Scott

Both of these guys had made the news today that suggests they have no moral center and love pandering.

Case #1: Haley Barbour lobbied for undocumented immigrants on behalf of Mexican government.

Barbour's lobbying work revolved around easing immigration restrictions and creating path to legal residency for undocumented immigrants.

That position was once considered mainstream in the GOP, but today's conservatives think you're a communist if you even dare suggest that we might need immigration reform, so it's no wonder that Barbour tried to paper over his work for the Mexican government. He'd probably rather be accused of lying than admit what the records show he did.

Case #2: Florida Gov. Rick Scott orders study of abolishing public hospitals. This is the equivalent of telling the uninsured to drop dead. Do you think Scott's former position influences this decision at all?

Gov. Rick Scott, a former executive of corporate hospitals, on Wednesday ordered a yearlong study of whether Florida could do away with government-owned hospitals such as the nine in Broward County and financially ailing Jackson Memorial in Miami.

...Private hospitals have fought unsuccessfully for years to get a bigger piece of all the tax dollars. Scott was among them when he was chief executive of the HCA Inc. national hospital chain, which still has a major presence in Florida. Scott left HCA just before the chain paid $2 billion in fines for overbilling Medicare.

Vote in the poll.
