5. Kentucky Senate (D): Just when we thought Lt. Gov. Dan Mongiardo and state Attorney General Jack Conway were going to play nice, they went to "Fancy Farm (http://www.courier-journal.com/article/2009908010355)" -- a yearly political picnic of sorts -- and proved us dead wrong. Mongiardo sought to turn the race into a class war by deriding Conway as running to represent the "silver spoon crowd." Conway fought back, sort of, by referring to himself as "one tough son of a bitch." (He later apologized for his use of profanity (http://www.kentucky.com/latest_news/story/884028.html) but not before his comments spawned a hilarious parody (http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20090806/NEWS0106/908060361/1008/NEWS01/Video+pokes+fun+at+Conway+speech).) This is going to be good. (Previous ranking: 7)
