Back at it (prior related posts are here, here, and here)...Tort “Reform” Hypocrite Of The Year
Robert Bork (h/t Atrios)
I. Lewis Libby “Amicus Brief” Hypocrite of the Year
Robert Bork (h/t Atrios)
The "That's Really Baaaad" Citation
Trent "All These Problems" Lott (here)
Racist Of The Year (Runner Up)
Dubya
Dregs Of The Year Collective Nominees
Scooter Libby apologists (here also)
Racist/Historical Revisionist Of The Year (Runner Up)
George Will
Would-Be Bad Actor Of The Year (Ex-Politician Category)
Little Ricky Santorum (though, after reading some of his Inky offerings, maybe this would have been a better move...by the way, Frederick of Hollywood wins the Bad Political Actor award outright this year).
A Thorough Argument In Response To The Inevitable Freeper Charge That Sandy Berger Hid National Archive Documents In His Underwear (or something)
Here (h/t Atrios)
Corporate Media Journo Of The Year
Mika Brzezinski, who refused to cover Paris Hilton’s release from jail in June (actually shredding the copy of the “story” in the process - here).
Do-Gooder Of The Year Candidate
Derek Fisher of the Utah Jazz, leaving the NBA to care for his daughter (here)
Gun Nuts Of The Year
Dual dishonors to Richard Shelby and Tom Tiahrt, Congressional Repugs (here).
Do-Gooder Of The Year Candidate
Dem U.S. House Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan (here)
Dregs Of The Year Nominee
Sirius Satellite Radio (why not just call it “Sirius Terra-Lovin’, Profanity-Spewing Godless Liberals” instead of “Left”?... h/t kos - here)
Dregs Of The Year Nominee
Dubya yet again (mocking the pleas of Karla Faye Tucker for her life before she was executed is a new low even for him)
Update: Anyone who thinks Dubya should be the "Most Admired Anything" (here) should get slapped silly at the very least.
Dregs Of The Year Nominee
Eric Edelman of the Pentagon for telling Hillary Clinton that her questions about U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq ‘boost enemy propaganda” (schooled at the unholy feet of Dick Cheney, as noted in the post - and here's HRC's response, by the way).
Dregs Of The Year Nominee
Willard Mitt Romney again for posing beside some mental defective and thus lending credence to her sign comparing Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to Osama bin Laden (try the spelling again, brainiac - story here...also, for keeping kids ignorant about sexual predators here).
Dregs Of The Year Nominee
Christopher Shays of Connecticut for losing his mind here (also, for trying to bring us "Iraq Study Group II: The Sequel" - also for this, where Shays said that baseball player Mark McGwire behaved worse than anyone he'd seen in his 20 years in congress, while at the same time praising Eric "Heckuvajob Blackwater" Prince to the heavens.)
Press Dregs Of The Year (may yet be other competition here)
NBC News Pentagon correspondent Jim Miklaszewski for accepting $30,000 from the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce to give a speech attacking John Edwards for (you guessed it) the $400 haircut (here).
Do-Gooder Of The Year Nominee
Joost R. Hiltermann, author of “A Poisonous Affair,” a book in which he sets the record straight concerning the involvement of Ronnie Baby and GHWB with “Chemical Ali” and Hussein in Iraq (here).
Dregs Of The Year Nominee
Dick “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” Cheney (so many reasons; here, and kudos to Will Bunch for this)
Do-Gooder Of The Year Nominee
Illinois congressional Repug House rep Ray LaHood, who actually gave the Democrats credit for accomplishing something with the power they were given last November (however, you have to put an asterisk next to this one; he only told the truth because he was retiring, which I suppose is the only way you’ll hear it from these characters).
Dregs Of The Year Nominee
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Paul Zeise, for saying Michael Vick would have been better off “raping a woman” here - I don’t care if he apologized or not.
Do Gooder Of The Year Candidate (and a Quote of the Year nominee)
Dem U.S. House Rep. Rush Holt of NJ, who said, regarding Congress’ gutting of FISA in August (with way too many Dems signing on here), “Legislation should not be passed in response to fear-mongering” (so true).
The Commemorative “Please Don’t Hurt Me With Your Patriotic License Plate, You Brave Okie” Citation
Here (from the state that sent both Jim Inhofe AND Tom Coburn to the U.S. Senate).
Quote Of The Year Nominee
First, the context; David Rees and his killer post in August here totally eviscerating Michael Ignatieff’s apologia over the Iraq war which appeared in the August 5th New York Times magazine, in which Ignatieff states this…
"A sense of reality is not just a sense of the world as it is, but as it might be. Like great artists, great politicians see possibilities others cannot and then seek to turn them into realities. . ."Now, the quote from Rees in response…
Winston Churchill is Leonardo daVinci. George W. Bush is Thomas Kinkade. Michael Ignatieff basically helped us buy a half-trillion dollars' worth of Thomas Kinkade paintings. Thanks.God, what a howler!
The “Unwanted Constituent Service” Citation
Glenn Murphy, Jr. president of the Young Republican National Federation, who resigned in the wake of an investigation for alleged criminal deviate conduct after a man said Murphy performed a sex act on him as the man slept at a home Murphy shared with a relative (Murphy originally stated that he was leaving the national organization and the Clark County Republican party for “business reasons”).
Sick Bastard Columnist Of The Year
Stu Bykofsky of the Daily News, who wishes to see another 9/11 (sometimes there are just no words)…
I think we're about 2/3rd's of the way there - I'll be back with more later.
