Ted Stevens...

...because nothing says 'I support our troops' more than drilling for oil in a wildlife refuge:
"The Defense Department is the largest consumer of oil in the federal government. We must develop our domestic resources in the Coastal Plain to ensure we can meet our defense-related energy needs and reduce our dependence on unstable and unfriendly regimes."
When our troops in Iraq are fighting for democracy in that country they can proudly point to Sen. Stevens for overruling centuries-old democratic traditions of debate and minority rights to simply get the job done.

update: BWAHAHA, cloture fails: 56-44, and they're not going to need to filibuster either. Fuck you, Ted!
