For Finland it's pretty hard to beat Tony Halme.
Before he became a politician, Tony was a vocational school drop-out who had worked as, among other things, WWF wrestler by the moniker of Ludvig Borga. He also had a small role in Die Hard: With A Vengeance and a larger role in Ponterosa, a Finnish movie that, based on what I've heard, is one of the worst movies ever made, at least in Finland.
He ran for the Parliament in 2003 from the lists of the True Finns, a small agrarian-nationalist party. His views are pretty far-right and, let's face it, racist - this is best evidenced by his book Tuomiopäivä where he, among other things, calls black people baboons, homosexuals fudgepackers, suggests that Finland sends all of it's immigrants to Åland, implies that most of current politicians are commie traitors, and sending all of Finland's drug criminals to Russian prisons. He, of course, was elected with lot of votes.
He celebrated his election by getting plastered, calling President Halonen a lesbian and announcing that he was splitting off from his party (with three members in the Parliament) and forming his own group. After renouncing those claims, he began talking about running for president.
However, in July 2003, he was arrested for shooting around in his apartment with an unlicensed firearm after having a fight with his wife. Oh, and he was doped up on amphetamine and alcohol while doing it. (He later claimed that the amphetamine had been slipped to his drink by a janitor.) There was a trial where he was sentenced to a whopping 80 days of condititional imprisonment and some fines.
After the trial (or before it, I can't exactly remember) Tony announced that he had gotten religion and stopped drinking, but a few months ago, he got a divorce from his wife and announced that he was going to start drinking again. After that, he dated a 19-year-old girl or something, at least according to the rumor rags.
Oh, and he's got a tattoo in his butt that reads 'Exit Only'.
So I can't see how it can get much worse than that.
