17. He doesn't even live in the D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Fieger#Personal

Fieger is the older brother of the late Doug Fieger, lead vocalist of the late-'70s/early-'80s rock group The Knack, best known for their hit song "My Sharona" in 1979. Fieger and his wife, Kathleen ("Keenie"), have several children and live in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

But wait! There's more!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Fieger#Other_activities

In 1998 Fieger ran unsuccessfully as the Democratic nominee for governor of Michigan. During the campaign Fieger made several inflammatory and controversial comments and statements, including

an assertion that his opponent John Engler was the product of barnyard miscegenation;

a claim that "rabbis are closer to Nazis than they think."

a radio appearance characterizing Michigan appellate judges as "jackasses" for overturning a 15 million dollar medical malpractice judgment he had won. (A lower court reprimand based on these comments was eventually upheld by the Michigan Supreme Court.)


Hoo boy. :scared:
