Dick Cheney is the Most Evil Republican in BuzzFlash's Sour 16: Republican Race to the Bottom

Your vote decided it, and you thought Dick Cheney was the Most Evil Republican in our first annual BuzzFlash Sour 16: Republican Race to the Bottom. With 65% of the vote, Cheney downed the Supreme Court Federalist Foursome.

The Four played great defense but they couldn't withstand the bombardment of evil that just kept coming at them. Despite his pudgy frame and his lack of heart, Cheney never really sweated, though the Four gave it their all.

When Cheney was asked for comment after he took the championship, he grunted and grumbled and perhaps mumbled something about wishing he still had access to his secret assassins.

The road started way back with the original 16. Sure you complained that Sean Hannity and James Dobson didn't make the cut. And you howled when you learned that Michele Bachmann was a #3 seed yet Ann Coutler was a #4 seed.

But you were thrilled when Alberto Gonzales pulled off the first round upset. You were shocked that Bobby Jindal and Sarah Palin did so poorly, getting blown out by Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, respectively, in the first round. You couldn't believe that the Supreme Court Federalist Foursome survived past Tom DeLay, George W. Bush, and Karl Rove.

But 15 exciting games later, we have a champion. And Cheney deserves his accolade as the Most Evil Republican.
 
Along the way, you cheered and booed. And you voted. Lots of votes. We literally couldn't have done this tournament without you, the fans.

Congratulations to all who participated, whether you were with us from Day One or just vote in the title game. Once again, congratulations to Dick Cheney, 2009's Most Evil Republican. As for the other evil Republicans, don't worry. There's always next year.
