(7s) Longest Serving U.S. Representatives #5 - Representative C.W. Bill Young (Republican Overlord of Florida's 10 District)


Part of the 1971 freshmen class of Congress, Bill Young has held it down in the 10th for nearly four decades. The 10th (which has changed from the 8th to the 6th to the Red 40th to the Peyton Manning pointing at people back to the 8th and then to its current designation) is situated in Pinellas County, which if you looked at Florida on a map (it's the gun-looking ass state) and followed the western edge against the Gulf of Mexico (the left part by the blue area on the map, blue means water) and you go about halfway down (I hope you at least know "halfway") and that's Pinellas County, home to St. Petersburg, and part of the Floridian clusterfuck of water-happy people that is known as the Tampa metropolitan area.
Probably the most noteworthy aspect of Young's life is the hot piece of ass (in his eyes at least) he's hitched too. He had previously been married for a long ass time to one lady, who had built a family with, but then got divorced in the mid-'80s and remarried to a chick 25 years younger than him, who had also previously been married. They had a couple of kids together as well, but she has been the ruling factor in his life. She got kicked out of the State of the Union address in 2006 for wearing some stupid American flag-laden "Support our Troops" shirt, and Young made a big stank on the House floor about it. She also was behind drumming up his interest in the treatment (or mistreatment) of soldiers at Walter Reed hospital, claiming she saw dudes lying in their own urine, and getting ol' Bill all riled up about it. Allegedly, he was going to retire and she was actually going to run to fill his seat, but that hasn't happened yet. I guess the old coot ain't ready to turn the keys to the family business over to a woman just yet, even if she already is wearing the pants in the family.
An interesting aside is Young is one of the most notorious abusers of Congressional earmarks, including tons of awards for two businesses that his children have worked for. Most notably, his youngest son with his current wife, a kid named Patrick, a high school dropout with a General Equivalency Diploma, got a job with a defense contractor at age 20 in a high security capacity. And the defense contractor's D.C. offices are on the same floor as Young's Congressional office. The point is, once you get in, stay in, and prop up everybody around you to suck at the abundance of growth hormone-laden milk and honey spewing from the well-molested tits of Lady Liberty.
