The 2013 winner of the Biggest Douche Bag in the Universe goes to...

Representative Randy Neugebauer from Texas.

This Tea Party member is getting paid by our government while walking around grandstanding to a National Park employee, an employee who is working but not getting paid (she won't get her paycheck until after Congress passes and the President signs a budget bill), even as the majority of her colleagues are furloughed and may never get paid.

Let's be clear: Randy Neugebauer is blaming this woman for blocking access to the nation's national parks.

And why?

Because Randy Neugebauer doesn't want Americans to have access to affordable healthcare, and in order to achieve this goal, the Republican Party chose to delay work on the budget until the week before the deadline, as a bargaining chip.  Having failed, they're now denigrated themselves down to nickel and dime tactics to partially fund operations, then walk around the Capitol in grandstanding fashion, pretending to care about average Americans.

By the way, these are the same people who demanded that their own staffers participate in the ACA rather than be enjoined to the federal employee program, then demanded that their subsidies be removed.  Nothing like working for a guy who wants to cut off your healthcare insurance, to make a point about freedom, eh?
