Gary Bauer

Claims to fame: Former Chief Domestic Policy Advisor under Ronald Reagan; unofficial Bush II adviser; noxious president, Family Research Council; failed presidential candidate; anti-gay crusader

Moral apex: Lost nine staff workers, including campaign manager, who quit in protest of Bauer’s “inappropriate” behavior with 26-year-old deputy campaign manager.

Memorable quote:

“We are engaged in a social, political, and cultural war. There’s a lot of talk in America about pluralism. But the bottom line is somebody’s values will prevail. And the winner gets the right to teach our children what to believe.”

Suggested Bible reading for Mr. Bauer:

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

— Proverbs 14:12
