How about: Elected Official with their Head Farthest up their Ass?
Tipton
Most hypocritical statement by an elected official.
Proposed law that was the most blatant pandering.
Legislator most clearly owned by a special interest group.
Top Hawaii Legislator.
So many candidates to choose from…
If we expand this nationally, the possibilities just within the Republican primary candidates are endless.
I seem to recall it shuddering unnaturally when he made an appearance someplace windy back in the late 80s.
Is he still alive?
lives on, however, in a terribly tragic estate having found itself badly attached to Rod Blagojevich after months on a massively inebriated mourning binge.
How could I have forgotten him? He’s definitely on the short list and a top contender.
There will be no winners in this category without pictorial proof.
You have to experience it in person.
But here’s a picture of Steve “Hollywood” King from his Wikipedia page:
If the latter, I think Callista Gingrich wins hands down. I can’t tell if that thing’s a hairdo or a weapon.
She’ll never get a concussion in that–whatever it is.
you can call it a helmet…that’s what it looks like.
She’s hiding her aluminum foil deflector beanie under it.
Or scar lines from plastic surgery. Another genuine (ie. highly likely) possibility.
against the hirsutically-challenged . . . time to remedy this ongoing injustice . . . nominations are now open for the “best bald politico”:
(In a pinch? I suppose you could count shamefully bad combovers here too.)
I can think of a couple of pretty hot, bald politicos.
No combovers, though. That’s not hot. That’s just sad.
This site has taken a noticably shallow and cosmetic turn of recent late. If folks would have wanted just another bunch of slathering horn dogs for FPEs, people could have nominated and voted for David and me.
And is it my imagination or did you just call me a “slathering horn dog?”
Aw, that might just be the nicest thing anyone has said to me lately, come to think of it.
Not only does he sport the combover, he’s short enough that most people can look down and see his scalp through it.
Or so I’m told; I was 5’3″ before the age-related shrinkage so I lack personal knowledge.
Worst Democratic Traitor to the Middle Class?
Best US Representative to Defend the Middle Class?
Best “Oh no you di’unt” Comment?
Best Republicon Dumbates Moderator?
Most Influential Video From the Occupy Scene?
Most Successful Campaign to Get a Progressive Bill Passed in a State Legislature?
Most Promising Action by a Democratic Governor to Promote His/Her Consideration as a Future Presidential Nominee?
Most Clueless Mayor or College/University President in Dealing with the Occupiers?
John Hickenlooper’s Most Inspiring Speech?
Josh Whatsizname
I win that one. No seriously, I never comment without sequins and at least one tiara, sometimes two, one time three. And pantyhose, always pantyhose.
Except when I’m wearing my tuxedo or Armani.
I always have clothes on when I post.
Worst returning banned user/sockpuppets/obsessive stalkers.
Gosh, there are so many great nominees–where should we start?
for unanimous consent . . .
but come on, Sybil (aka Nancy L. Baldwin and Michael Dorsett MD) wins this category hands down. Giving it to anyone else is just like those awards shows that only consider things released in November for “best of the year” awards.
Fancy that. I have at least a half dozen in mind, some currently and regularly posting.
Who were you thinking of? Do tell.
And since this appears to be an annual event, as in 2011, and we have plenty of worthy contenders in this year, let the suggestions roll.
but banned sockpuppet users are easy to list: Steve Harvey (officially) and whoever Michael Ellis might have been before (unofficially). And now that I think about it, I don’t recall if MD has even posted this year. I guess I was thinking of a “lifetime achievement award.”
biggest lie of the year
biggest let-them-eat-cake crap on the people of colorado (issue or person)
someone who actually made a difference
best Colorado political FAIL of 2011
most psychotic poster of 2011
most awesomesauce poster 2011
biggest real bipartisan effort (thats a hard one)
Just a few thoughts…
Awesomesauce. Hands down.
