Special Inauguration Week BOW Award

Jan 25, 2009 13:38

I'm still not ready to return to the full-length BOW (Buffoon Of the Week) Award entries I was posting during the political campaign. But I did want to give out this special Inauguration Week BOW Award, because it seems so richly deserved.

No, I'm not giving it to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, for his mangling of the ( Read more... )

I totally agree.

Limbaugh is such a twit, I really don't know why he gets as much air time as he does, outside of his small circle of adoring nutjobs. Maybe people like to laugh in total disbelief.

Sadly, Sherwood, if you go to the FOX News website and read the comments posted in response to some of their "news" stories, you find a lot of people who think just the way Rush does.

*shudder* this is true. I tend to forget, because I avoid Fox News with intent.

And then see if you can get the other foot in your mouth, too. Maybe that will shut you up for a while....

Oh, what a lovely thought!

Wishful thinking, I fear. His mouth is big enough to accommodate both of Shaquille O'Neal's feet...

On the other hand, maybe it's time to just pay no attention to Rush at all.

Yeah, Maybe. But this was so BOW worthy, I couldn't resist.

Very true.

But what about Chris Wallace for suggesting an hour after the inauguration that Obama wasn't really the president...

Or Bill O'Reilly for stating that the scariest line in Obama's speech was "As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals." A line which I thought was the most heartening.

Yes. Both were BOW worthy as well. This was why I didn't want to get in to a full-length BOW entry. Because once I get going on one, there's so much material that I never know where to stop....

Make that 83% approval, as of the night before Inauguration. Bush: 22%, Cheney 13%.

Beg your pardon! Didn't mean to cheat him out of his full measure of support. Check out the comment I got on my other blog. Truly the work of a wingnut: http://davidbcoe.wordpress.com
