Fiskie Nominations, Thread the First

Here’s an open thread to post nominations for LGF’s Idiotarian of the Year Award! This year, in the spirit of the stock market downturn and the economic belt-tightening, we’re cutting out the “Anti-Idiotarian” award and focusing on the red meat — the award for the person or group that most personifies the spirit of the “useful idiot.”

The Fiskie Award is a lifetime award, and previous winners are not eligible; so here are the past winners for reference:

Jimmy Carter
Rachel Corrie
Cindy Sheehan
Michael Moore
Kofi Annan
Keith Olbermann

I can think of a boatload of idiots, but hardly any of them are useful.

The problem with an annual award is that as long as they breath, some past idiots manage to top themselves.

Is it really fair to give such an award to anyone but Jimmy Carter while Jimmy still roams the World fluffing every anti American and anti Semitic tyrant who would see him?

still gets about 25 comments per day -- even though it's been online for 10 months! (It was from the Code Pink Marines protest.) It's now up to 1,820 comments. (And 40,000 views.) That's probably the highest comment-per-view rating of any video on YouTube. It seems everyone has an opinion about it!

Far and away the most popular video I've ever made.

Al Gore.

The only thing keeping the world from going into a new ice age is Al Gore's mansion burning brightly and warmly, his private jet flying all over the place to save the world and his fleet of limos using up all the available "carbon". That, and all the "hot air" he produces while bloviating probably keeps the temps around the world artificially warmer than they should be.

Idiotarian is not just limited to those who aid and abet the Islamists. It can also be those who believe allying with the Eurofascists is our best bet for the antijihad.

My nominees for Idiotarian of the Year are...

*Representative Nancy Pelosi, for her trips to Syria and her mismanagement of the House.
*President-elect Barack Obama, his comments on Israel and Islam earlier this year, as well as his associations with Bill Ayres.
*Representative Barney Frank, for his role in the Freddie and Fannie collaspe.
*Senator Chris Dodd, ditto.
*Governor Rod Blagojevich, for his usefulness in getting Obama into the spotlight, and then being dropped like a dead fish when arrested. Useful and then useless in the same year.
* Senator Hillary Clinton, for battling Obama all the way to the DNC, besting him in the primaries, and then becoming his SecState.
And, at the risk of a flame war,
*Robert Spencer, for making nice with Charles, and then choosing the Eurofascists as "our only hope" in Europe, even though they are no better than the Islamofascists themselves.

Consult a lawyer in your town. The law varies state to state. It's the best investment you can make in your future. Get recommendations from others if you can. Some will provide a free initial consultation; in not, ask how much. Some will work out payment plans.

Do not sign anything until your lawyer has looked it over.

I think CNN takes the cake.

CNN is not satisfied that some of the Arab governments are not totally agitating against Israel because those governments are just as happy at this point to get rid of Iran's proxy Hamas. So CNN is positioning itself as the avenger of Hamas and they're trying to stir up mischief for these governments by handing the megaphone to anyone who's Jooo hatred is strong enough to drive them into the Arab street against their own government..

Arabs protest their governments' reaction to Gaza attacks
[Link: www.cnn.com...]

# In Yemen, thousands of people demonstrate in capital city of Sanaa
# Citizens of Sudan also protest Israeli airstrikes in Gaza
# Students at University of Qatar boycott their classes in support of Gaza
# Some Arabs blame Egypt, saying it's too cozy with Israel and the United States

Ummm, excuse me, CNN. Chew on this...

President-elect Barack Obama leans toward Israel
[Link: www.nydailynews.com...]


WASHINGTON - President-elect Barack Obama appeared Sunday to give Israel a green light to continue its Gaza onslaught against Hamas, embracing the existing U.S. policy of allowing Israel to defend itself.

And this...

..as Hamas began shelling, Israel responded.

Fashion Writer: Michelle O's a 'Goddess.' Palin is 'Worst Dressed'

This month, a goddess stepped onto the world stage and made it her own.

First Lady-in-waiting Michelle Obama, who looks as chic in a chainstore’s $148 printed tank dress as she does in Narciso Rodriguez designer wear, proved that you can be tall, have unruly hair, be amother [sic] of two demanding daughters, be married to someone who is, frankly, a sex god, and come out smiling, confident and truly a style icon. [...]

There were lots ofcontenders [sic] for thistitle [sic]. Dannii Minogue, the Geldof girls, Beyoncé, Madonna inthat [sic] dress made of grass. But the award simply has to go to Sarah Palin, who may have spent $150,000 on six suits but still resembled a hopelessly sexless, up [sic] hockey mom who buys all her clothes from Wal-Mart.

I for one think that instead of nominating a person, we might consider awarding it to the "dying a slow death" MSM. If any single entity has done more to damage this nation along with what little credibility it once had, the MSM was certainly on a roll this year.

It's also possible that Olbermann could be on track to win his second award this year as his spittle flying rants ("Mr. Bush, shut the Hell up") have certainly elevated him to new and unforeseen heights.

I also submit the name of one of the most useless fools I have ever seen, one Sean Penn, who by all accounts has finally fallen completely off the Left edge. If the Fiskie wasn't required to include at least a smidgen of useful idiocy by the nominee, then Penn would certainly win hands down.

But the hippies are wrong. Unfortunately we have to live through the baby boom's cure-all, pop-culture politics.

re: #566 Wendya

Gore and his myrmidons, the Goreists, are pretty much washed up. No one is going to be interested in being told to cut back on energy consumption to curb warming when there's a couple of feet of snow on the ground and the temperatures have been declining in the last 10 years. They played their hand and lost.

Not so fast. Whether gorebal warming is for real or not, there will be fluctuations and there will be decades colder than the one that came before. And whether gorebal warming is tommyrot or there's something to it, what about peak oil?

And whether we're getting to peak oil or not, what about rising demand in China and India? Even if there's more oil, there's more buyers. That makes it a seller's market, once the inevitable recovery from this recession kicks in. When oil prices recover, and they will, conservation will be a practical, sensible way to save money, and wind, nuclear, and solar will look better than they look with oil below $40 per barrel.

And then there is the strategic side of things. Do we want to be in harsh competition with China to see who can give the most money to the Arabs and the Russians?

I agree, Ben Stein's activities can aid, in the long run, in undermining the ability of future leaders to reason and think; which while not as violent, it is exponentially more damaging. He has promulgated disinformation about science and promoted (via books and television appearances) investing based on faith (i.e. trust without judgment). He has revealed himself as an enemy of thinking individuals everywhere and as such, is well deserved of this award.

re: #631 Killgore Trout

I don't think that's over the top. We can (and will) do far more damage to ourselves than the Islamists will. Bin Laden has no chance of conquering America, but if we adopt Ben Stein's view of science we will be a 3rd world nation in a generation or two. We are much more likely to succumb to Ben Stein than Bin Laden.

Your original statement, the one drawing criticism, was

These two have dome [sic] more damage than Bin Laden himself

Your current statement speaks of what may occur if Ben Stein prevails.
That's not the same thing. The original statement is hyperbolic.

re: #689 Thanos

In some ways, the DI and DeWinter are the flip side, our side, of the coin that has bin Laden and AQ. Each is attempting to corrode its society from within. Granted, bin Laden and AQ are having far more success at this, particularly in places like Pakistan, but don't underestimate the ability of the others within our own society to do the same, given the opportunity. Remember, people laughed at a certain failed artist at one time as well. People also succumbed to passing laws against the very teaching of science that did set us back for a while, until the space race started in earnest. Never underestimate the ability of people to follow folks like the DI and DeWinter off the edge of the abyss.

I would take Ben Stein over Bin Laden any day of the week, and frankly, I think your entire premise is flawed. Ben Stein is a capitalist at heart. So, he has some odd ideas about evolution, big deal. You make is sound like we will be dragged into some kind of Dark Age if evil Ben Stein and his minions gets control of our children's minds. I think your fear of that is actually funny. We managed to become what we are with some pretty strong religious undertones in our national psyche and we will manage in the future too. What are you afraid of?

This year, with Team Obama 2008 clearly including the NY Times, the Associated Press, CNN, et al, this will hopefully be the year "The Mainstream Media" receives their due.

Ben Stein's not stopping anyone from getting vacinations right now, Bin Laden is.
Ben Stein's not advocating death to all Jews right now, Bin Laden is, you saw some of his followers recently in Mumbai.
Ben Stein's not burning girl's schools right now, Bin Laden is.

I could go on and on and on. You are just being stupid and overpassionate on one issue enough to blind you to the greater threat. You have a deep bias, suggest you apply some zen to that, and read some more Yudkowsky.

What's your point? That's been the situation in the United States for more than two centuries. American society and education is now more secular than it ever was in the past. Less than a hundred years ago, our schools didn't even teach evolution. Still, we've managed to go to the moon and back and we're the only hyperpower on the face of the Earth.

Both the terrorwhackos and the ID'ers seem to want to take us back to their idea of "basics". Strict enforcement of morality laws. Some of them may be true believers who think that some awful g-d is going to strike us down or they may think their rewards are in the after-life.

Mostly, they want power --they want to control their environment (us). They use religion as a tool to that end.

The rest of us need to recognize that and leave religion out of the debate. It only plays into the chaos they are trying to create.

No, Stein is just the spokesman for the Disco Institute. It's a tough call. However Stein's ideology is much more likely to take hold and gain ground here in the US than Bin Laden's.

To be honest, I wa surprised to find a conservative site where you could mention evolution without being trashed. I once thought the entire right was attempting to win 80% of the Bible belt and the hell with the rest of the country.
The stereotype of the far right by my liberal friends is not only not flattering, it's also wrong. Of course, I think the stereotype of the left/moderate is also wrong in a lot of cases.

Chopra:
What we call "collateral damage" and going after the wrong people actually turns moderates into extremists, and that inflammation then gets organized and appears as this disaster in Bombay.
[Link: www.cnn.com...]

Then again, here:
During the Nov. 26 live broadcast of CNN's Larry King Live, Chopra, a philosopher and author who has earned millions of dollars in the U.S., said the term "terrorist" is just a term Americans apply to foreigners. Chopra went on to say that while U.S. military members want us to believe they are different because they "wear uniforms," dropping bombs from thousands of feet in the air that "kill innocent" civilians is no different than gunning down scores of innocent men, women and children.

Larry King said nothing but "thank you" to Chopra.

As 2009 dawns, it is time we in Britain faced up to the genuine crisis now fast approaching from the fact that – unless we get on very soon with building enough proper power stations to fill our looming "energy gap" - within a few years our lights will go out and what remains of our economy will judder to a halt. After years of infantile displacement activity, it is high time our politicians – along with those of the EU and President Obama's US – were brought back with a mighty jolt into contact with the real world.

Now it being a long walk home from the middle of the Pacific panic was a danger and it would kill. If lost you had to gain altitude and then circle while calling for help. If you were lucky Mother on the bird farm would break radio silence and answer your call. Doing so would put thousands of lives in jeopardy. If you heard the carrier's signal then you could try to ride the signal home, as long as it got stronger you were pointed the right way, if it faded you had to guess how to fix your course. Later of course direction finding receivers were developed and that lead to the field of Electronic Warfare. It all started with that lost kid circling and calling for help.

Both had the dishonor of being not only useless, but arrogant, and in positions of direct responsibility for the economic pile of crap we're in.

I've got to get some sleeps but let me state my case more clearly.
We are in a long war against a couple of dangerous ideologies at present - one is Islamism, the other is resurgent Marxism. That war is the most urgent at the moment, and our most dangerous opponents are there. If there comes a new dark age, they will lead us into it.

The longest, and most important war however is that against the dark of ignorance. It's eternal, because everytime we discover something new we uncover vast new gulfs of the unknown. That war has steadily progressed over several millenia, and both truth and science win over time due to primal human nature and curiosity. I don't see us receding in that war, science in the past few years has accelerated greatly, has vast momentum, and just is not going to be stopped. Ben Stein and company might try to be an impediment, but they are so going to get rolled over. (see my friend Vernor for why)

The problem with the choice of Joe Biden is that he really is a complete idiot, so much so that he's utterly useless. Besides, he has the redeeming virtue of being hilariously (albeit unintentionally) funny. I don't think the award should go to anyone who automatically makes you giggle with glee.

Now, Chris Matthews is laughable, but in that case we're talking about scornful derision. Much better choice.

And his Trig Palin obsession was so magnificently Trooferish that the man guy deserves some sort of recognition.

I also propose that there should be a special "We Are a Unique Individual" award for outstanding displays of groupthink.

And in this category I would nominate:

(1) All the gays and lesbians and "straight allies" who bitterly demonstrated after the passage of California's Prop 8, calling it an expression of Nazi-esque hatred that reduced homosexuals to second-class citizens and set gay rights back by 20 years -- despite the fact that California continues to have the nation's most comprehensive "domestic partnership" laws, which for all practical purposes make "same-sex civil unions" a legal reality in CA (although the term "civil union" is not used).

(2) Everyone of whatever sexual orientation who declared that zombie's Folsom Street Fair exposés were "homophobic."

Voting for the Fiskie for my first post is an honor..

It seems that the winner should have been involved with the two major events of the year, the financial and political woes of 2008.

I think George Soros deserves the Fiskie, because he should have known better.


First, welcome to the lizard hoard Right. Second, get me a gin and tonic. Third, I really don't think Soros qualifies as an idiot. Soros knew exactly what he was doing. He's been trying to destroy the value of the Dollar the same way he destroyed the value of the Baht and Ringgit. He made billions when he bought up those two currencies artificially inflating their value and then dumping them onto the market creating the 1997 Asia meltdown. He's been working hard to do the same here in the US

I was just reading Mark Steyn's article, and in it he has this quote from Obama:

“We can’t just keep driving our SUVs, eating whatever we want, keeping our homes at 72 degrees at all times regardless of whether we live in the tundra or the desert and keep consuming 25 percent of the world’s resources with just 4 percent of the world’s population, and expect the rest of the world to say you just go ahead, we’ll be fine.”

Actually Yes We Can! :)

But, that aside, the fact is we don't use "25%" of the world's resources. Rather, we use 25% (if he is accurate) of the mind and cultivated resources of the world. The radius of the earth is about 4,000 miles. At our most focused attempt to drill into it, the Kola Superdeep Borehole the Mohorovic, reached a depth of 40,226 feet and took 15 years.

We have barely scratched the surface of the Earth's resources, literally.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I second bravesoat's (post #476) nomination of George Monbiot (pronounced jawrj moonbat).
Source of the term moonbat, Wiki describes him as a a journalist, author, academic, environmentalist, and political activist. How fitting for someone who was pronounced clinically dead due to cerebral malaria which causes severe brain damage (i.e. an idiocy). I also found it interesting that he was stung into a coma by hornets and is personae non gratae, (i.e. an unwelcome person) in several countries.
Author of Bring on the Apocalypse: Six Arguments for Global Justice, a collection of his very short Guardian essays on man-made self-destructive behaviors that are lacking in detail or reasoning, Moonbat vents his frustration (i.e. confusion) over the mismanagement of our world.
Because he was easily influenced by Ghore, Moonbat also wrote a book called Heat: How to Stop the World from Burning. In it, he unwittingly argues that we the people are causing global warming and describes the catastrophes we will soon cause (saying nothing about the sun's influence...see The Great Global Warming Swindle).

1226 AllanR  Sun, Dec 28, 2008 11:57:43pm

I have to vote one for Obama for the following:

He never heard Rev. Wright say those things in the 20 years he was in that church.

Bill Ayers was "just a guy in his neighborhood".

He is going to "stop the rise of the Oceans".

He "never talked to Blago about the Senate seat".

For these, actually it should be the 62 million people who voted for this guy who never had a real job before.

1227 Rusty Bill  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 12:03:04am

My nominations are all groups:

The so-called "mainstream media", in it's entirety, for it's blatant electioneering

Congress, which has set a new low for approval ratings

Code Pink, Daily Kos, MoveOn, HuffPo, and the rest of the liberal cheerleaders

The United Nations, for proving that total uselessness is no bar to continued existance

My nominee told us last year that "The Surge" wouldn't work. That it would 'most likely' make things worse in Iraq, and get more of our soldiers killed.

My nominee worked for my Governor, Blagojevich, as one of his chief campaign strategists in 2002.

He used to belong to a fringe political group called "The New Party".

His first fund raiser was held at the home of a domestic terrorist.

His former spiritual adviser was an anti-American racist.

He hired on a man - as his chief-of-staff - who had worked for Daley as a fundraiser, Clinton as an adviser, and Blagojevich as a strategist. (His chief-of-staff may be one of the first people to have worked for an impeached president and an impeached governor.)

My nominee was elected on the themes of "Hope" and "Change" and then filled half of his cabinet with Clinton administration leftovers.

He put a former head of the EPA in charge of the Department Of Energy... which is kinda like putting a vegetarian in charge of issuing hunting licenses.

When a criminal complaint was released with my governor floating deals with the president-elect, my nominee had his lawyer conduct an internal investigation clearing him of doing anything wrong?

He invented the Office Of The President Elect.

He's proposed - as an economic solution - almost a trillion dollars in new spending.

My nominee is President Elect Obama.

If he hasn't earned this award, I don't know who possibly could.

1231 ChicagoJohn  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 12:48:04am

Ugh.
I just thought of a second nominee.

MoveOn.

First, they decided to save Clinton's Obstruction Of Justice ass, and then they devote millions of dollars to getting the current Attention-Starved-Elect in office.

Just to keep abreast of their movements, I signed up for MoveOn e-mails. Reading their missives was like fingernails on a chalkboard. There was always a crisis, a worry, a fear that Palin(!) might become the VP.

For whipping up Obama supporters into a frenzy, and making soviet style posters cool again... I nominate MoveOn as my second nomination.

2) The MSM is also truly suitable for the award, being true "useful idiots" rather than the enemy itself (like Ahmadinejad, Chavez, etc.). They're also, as a group, the dominant one of 2008; other suggestions above, such as Al Gore, are just pathetic has-beens that will soon be forgotten.

1249 revGDright  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 4:53:37am

I have to nominate myself.
I listened to my Depression-era parents and lived below my means and saved my money.
I waited until I had a 55% down payment to buy a house.
I drive 10 year-old cars and take care of them and pay cash when I buy a new one.
I put as much as I could into my 401k in "sensible" conservative funds that are now 60% of what they were, wiping out years of savings.

If I'd put nothing down and got into an ARM I couldn't afford, used my home equity as an ATM, spent everything else I'd at least have had a good time and be getting bailed out at a lower interest rate and not had any savings to lose.

I surely am an idiot, although I'm not sure who I was useful to.

Hmm, tough one. First thought is Barney Frank. Can we nominate an institution? (Thinking Congress, here.) Hate to say so, but I've got to go with Geo. Bush. $700 billion never-mind-where-it-goes, plus another $17 billion to Detroit after Congress finally showed a spine and said No. Yup, if we're talking the financial meltdown, would go with GWB, although many worthy candidates on this issue are available. Open it up to the election season, and it gets stupid wide.

BTW, just for yer thinking. It takes just over 30 years to count to one billion, one number per second, never stopping. A long time, but do-able. To reach that 700 billion? Most of all recorded human activty, over 22,000 years. Thank you, fearless leaders.

2. The MSM (with the exception of the Wall Street Journal...still a good and relatively respectable example of what a newspaper should be)

Or if we aren't allowed to nominate such large groups, then I have to go with Al Gore.

It's hard to say if he truly believes his own B.S. at this point or if he is just cynically exploiting the masses for profit, but truly his actions as the head of this "global warming" religion are harming everything they touch.

For instance, where I work (which shall remain nameless), they have established a "climate change" committee now that is proposing, among other things, mandatory training for everyone on the subject along with all other manner of misguided and misdirected projects that will only waste money while accomplishing nothing good. This despite the fact that we are facing significant budget cuts and no raises for this year, and possibly several years hereafter.

Anyone remember how our vice president-elect actually favored a plan to partition Iraq before being roundly rejected in the primaries? I'm almost thankful that Obama got elected but for the fact that his presence in the White House will utterly dwarf Biden's. He's just that insufferable.

Dismantle it ... go vouchers!

1321 abu_garcia  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 11:58:12am

I'll nominate Barney Frank also.

While there are plenty to share the blame for the housing fiasco, he has definitely been out front and has most loudly denied that his actions were in any way responsible for the mess.

He deserves to have his faced pushed in it like a pup that has shat the floor.

Did I miss any?


Ah yes, this was going to be my vote as well. For them failing to even give the appearance of unbiased reporting. Or hell, failure to do any reporting or looking into Obama's background etc..

Barney Frank, September 10, 2003, supporting Fannie and Freddie --

1325 billypaintbrush  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 12:37:16pm

Chicken Little Hank Paulsen, who convinced Bush and Congress to give him a check for $700,000,000,000.00 made out to CASH.

1326 aaron's rantblog  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 12:40:43pm

You've all made amateurish choices.

Condi Rice, appeaser of Saudis, Hamas "resistance movement" equivocator, hijab-wearing, opposer of Israeli strike on Syrian nuke factory, manipulator of Israeli elections, dhimmi-par-excellence. She almost makes me long for Madeline Halfbright.

Evidence:

Pat Buchanan, also obvious.

1327 aaron's rantblog  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 12:45:04pm

The MSM will be proud of a Fiskie.

It is critical that the Fiskie be an effective tool to shame the recipient.

Condi had all the potential to do good... until she became a Wahhabist stooge, a Creature of Foggy Bottom.

If you think Condi is working for the right values, you may be too clueless to be a fan of LGF.

1328 pchas  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 1:22:55pm

Considering this story, [Link: littlegreenfootballs.com...] I'd have to say Cynthia McKinney!

1329 Joan  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 1:25:38pm

re: #28 Bloodnok

And with his 1,000th post the Lizard from Massachusetts nominates the MSM.

I endorse Mandy Manners & Bloodnok with one refinement:

Fiskie to "The Grey Lady" NYT (aka "whore of Babylon")

Barney Frank. The mouthpiece (so to speak) for Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac

1332 strandedsf  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 3:41:59pm

Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. The chutzpah with which these two colossal frauds first caused the housing meltdown by bullying anyone who tried to regulate Fannie and Freddie by calling them racists, and then turned around and blamed it all on a lack of regulation caused by -- you got it -- Bush!

They're like the Duke and the Dauphin in Huckleberry Finn: quintessential American frauds. And like the Duke and the Dauphin, if there's any justice in the world they'll be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

(I mean that metaphorically, of course).

1333 Aisha bint Abi Bakr  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 3:50:59pm

The New York Times and the Washington Post. Run by useful idiots.

1334 jrausta  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 3:51:52pm

The Goracle.

1335 Red Sea Desjardini Tang  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 4:23:14pm

Cynthia Mckinney

1336 rastajenk  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 4:33:25pm

The Goracle does it for me, too. While I can't think of anything in particular he did this year, he is so indelibly linked to the environmentalists' mad grab for (political) power and their melting down the entire global economy, that no one else comes close to being this year's "useful idiot."

1337 emorykid10  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 5:49:55pm

I'm gonna go with JOHN MCCAIN on this one

One quck note, though. While John McCain is a good pick for good reasons, let's not make this a vengeance pick just 'cause he lost to Obama. I know, you know, we all know that there're much better reasons he deserves that award, a few even mentioned above.

1338 gedaliya  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 5:55:00pm

I nominate one of the great useful idiots of our time: Glenn Greenwald

1339 Boghie  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 6:12:33pm

Folks,

Have we all forgotten the goobers who were living in the trees just outside of Berserkly...

Till even those in Berkley got tired of it...

And, cut the trees down.

Then, one of them performed a die-in on the street.

I vote for the Birkenstock and Burlap Sack Tree People!

1340 MaximumBob  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 6:52:29pm

re: #1299 DeeAitch

Good choices!

Add in:

Chris Dodd and Barney Frank as the unindicted co-conspirators of the sub-prime mess who have yet to admit any culpability,

Paul Krugman - a liberal extremist columnist that pretends to be an economist.

The Nobel Prize Committee - long overdue for awarding on a leftist political agenda

Pelosi and Reid - set the record for least-effective Congress ever (thank God)

Dr. James Hansen of NASA for his abuse of science to push a global warming agenda.

Pinky Sulzberger - publisher of the NY Slimes for taking the NYT from being the newspaper of record to become the Pravda of the East.

1341 RepJ  Mon, Dec 29, 2008 7:13:06pm

BARACK OBAMA

1344 DrCruel  Tue, Dec 30, 2008 4:25:20am

Jon Stewart

1345 geoffputerbaugh  Tue, Dec 30, 2008 8:16:44am

Well, I have to go with the MSM, if only for breadth of coverage. That gets Olbermann and Mr. Tingle and lots of other "useful idiots" (and yes, in this phrase, "useful idiot" refers to e.g. an American idiot who is useful to the enemies of America.)

This award would not only cover a lot of people, it would also cover an incredible number of offenses.

Jeremiah Wright? Bill Ayers? Murtha? Reid? Pelosi? They're tempting as well.

We are in a target-rich environment!

Maybe the Kos Kids, for screaming for Obama throughout the campaign, and then being the first to throw a hissy fit when they, too, got thrown under that 'Bama Bus.

Maybe the Bus itself?

Sergey Brin and Larry Page are way overdue for a joint Fiskie award.

1348 hornsofthedevil  Tue, Dec 30, 2008 1:37:45pm

This is great, Olberman is a shoe in.

1349 scalleywag  Tue, Dec 30, 2008 6:43:42pm

Obvious choices...Bill Ayers. The NY Times. Chris Tinglepants Matthews. Olberman of course. Harry Reid. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Harry Reid. Huffington. The Clintons. Blagojevich. Caroline Kennedy. Nancy Pelosi. Cynthia McKinney. Harry Reid. Barney Frank. Automaker CEOs. Bank CEOs.

But I really gotta vote for Robert Mugabe.

that crazy a-- congresscritter from atlanta cynthia mckinney by god she deserves it . She's crazier than I'am and I've got PTSD. So she is a front runner in my book!

1353 arf  Tue, Dec 30, 2008 10:03:33pm

So tell me, over the years, how have the recipients felt about having received this august prize?

What were their exact words on receiving the news of their win?

1354 flaggman  Tue, Dec 30, 2008 10:50:36pm

Bill "I wasn't a terrorist, but if I was I didn't hurt anyone, but if I did hurt someone I didn't kill anyone, but if I did kill anyone it wasn't on purpose, but if it was on purpose it wasn't because I was an anarcho-communist hell-bent on destroying America, but if I was an anarcho-communist hell-bent on destroying America, I don't feel that way now, but if I do feel that way now, I don't let it influence my life's work in education" Ayers.

1355 jonik  Wed, Dec 31, 2008 7:52:21pm

Not even close, it's got to be Al "even when the evidence is overwhelming I am still lying and making millions off the fear" Gore

1356 rednaxela  Wed, Dec 31, 2008 9:47:32pm

re: #1355 jonik

making millions

Doesn't sound like a useful idiot to me.

I'm sticking with George Bush.
