11. Ted Cruz: For reading his girls a bedtime story on the Senate floor.



 




12. Rep. Alan Grayson: For insinuating that MSNBC host Martin Bashir was collaborating with the tea party.




“And the point I’m making to you, Martin, is that if you don’t speak out against it, then in effect, you’re collaborating with it. And, in fact, if you give someone like me a hard time for speaking out against it, then maybe you’re collaborating with it.

“Quite frankly, you are the worst excuse for a journalist I’ve ever seen. It’s absurd… what you just displayed was not journalism, it was yellow journalism.”





17. Sen. McCaskill: For tweeting these before and after shots of this pig.



 



And making vegans everywhere go:



 




18. Bill Clinton: For a photobomb that made the inauguration special.



 


And staying interested for the whole performance.
