Doomsy's Do-Gooders And Dregs (2007 - Pt. 2)

Time for some more (a prior related post is here)...

Queasy Borderline Hetero Man Crush Of The Year

Roger Simon on Mitt Romney here (courtesy of Atrios/ThinkProgress).

"Romney has chiseled-out-of-granite features, a full, dark head of hair going a distinguished gray at the temples, and a barrel chest" (and “Simon Says,” huh? How original. I guess, being a journalist of a fashion, you use the phrase “The Write Stuff” regularly also, I’m sure).

Romney never served in the military, though the band at his announcement played both “Anchors Aweigh” and “The Marines’ Hymn” (to me, that’s a tremendous insult to our military, but since I’m hardly a Repug, what do I know about these things :- ).

The “Next Time, Shut Your Pie Hole” Citation

On February 26th, former Fed Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan said that we could be looking at a recession later this year; the next day, the Dow dropped 500 points.

Political Odd Couple Of The Year

Al Sharpton and Strom Thurmond (here).

The "As If Digby Actually Needs A Plug From Me" Citation

For this post.

Dregs Of The Year Candidate

Brit Hume (as a commenter and Mara Liasson of NPR noted, Hume, it isn’t that the Walter Reed scandal looks bad, it is bad)…

Do-Gooder Of The Year Nominee

Ellen McKay

Dregs Of The Year Candidate

Morton Kondracke (The Dems are guilty of “junior Stalinism”?)

Dregs Of The Year Candidate

House Dem Dan Boren of Oklahoma, who said here...

"This supplemental should be about supporting the troops and providing what they need," said Rep. Dan Boren, D-Okla., on Monday upon returning from a trip to Iraq. Boren said he plans to oppose any legislation setting a clear deadline for troops to leave.

And he's a "Dem," let's not forget.

Dregs Of The Year Candidate

“Gay Baby” Rev. R. Albert Mohler, Jr. here (who thinks an in-vitro procedure could remove some “gay gene” or something; Dr. Jack Drescher merits consideration also).

The “I Don’t Know – He Sounds Pretty ‘Blonde’ To Me” Citation

Japan’s Taro Aso here for his comment about making Japan “a country rich Jews want to live in,” (and a cabinet member’s reference to women as “birth-giving machines”).

More to follow at some point.
