I’m accepting nominations for the 2012 Dano Awards
By Grant Jedlinsky
We’re approaching that time of year once again, when we give special recognition to the movers, the shakers, the extraordinary loudmouths and sometimes the average Janes and Joes.
The annual Dano Awards for Glaring Stupidity are quickly coming upon us, and beginning right now I am accepting nominations for 2012. Here are previous Dano Award columns from 2009, 2010 and 2011.
This is always a popular and controversial column lauded by many readers for its razor-sharp observations.
For example, it gave me pride when, in 2009, our own blogger “Frank” endorsed it in an unfortunately unpublished Letter to the Editor that noted: “Dan’s poison-pen takes no prisoners, and suffers all who don’t share his views.”
There is stiff competition every year, and already I have a short list in mind for the 2012 honors. The final selections are always helped along by your many witty readers who remind me of glaring stupidity that my steel-sieve mind has long forgotten. So please put your nominations in the comments here, today.
Here are some guidelines:
1. We want to stay as close to Roanoke as possible with the nominations, and whatever you do, don’t go outside Virginia. These are local and state awards, after all.
2. Feel free to invent the category (you can invent subcategories, too). For example, last year we awarded a Dano to Sen. Bill Stanley for “Best Gun Threat By a Public Official.” It came in response to a question as to whether anybody had investigated his new rental home in his new Senate district.”Not that I know of, unless they want to get a face full of my Glock,” Stanley shot back.
3. If you can, link to the news account, or the column I wrote that makes the distinction worthy of merit.
Okay! The floor is open. Thanks for your help!
November 17, 2012 - 12:13 PM
dano, it warms my heart to know that you remember!
The 2009 dano you gave the Burkholder’s still sticks in my craw.
No doubt you voted “no” to the recent constitutional amendment which will make it even more difficult for the state to grab one’s personal private property for no reason. You thought that since the Burkholders’ paid only $168,000 for their property…and were offered a million…you would award them (ridicule them) your “dano” because they refused to sell their place of business.
Your pen is indeed poisen, dan. And, my heart is warmed. Thank you!
Nominations, Frank. I want nominations.
I’m working on it, dano. But, I just had to thank you.
Virginia Green Menace and Company…For giving each other awards, and tipping us of to the fact that the Bike Virginia event coming to Botetourt County (announced this past week) is another part of the UN Agenda 21 plot to take our land and cars away so we can live in harmony in FEMA camps.
Hey dano,
I’m working on a “dano award” which involves a large media conglomerate, layoffs, an outrageously high executive bonus awarded at the same time as the guy pink-slipped over 50 employees, a Virginia political appointee, and a high level obuma appointee. It is also current, as it was first reported this year. It will be completely straight-forward, factual, and non-judgemental…as getting the “dano” will be all that’s needed in that regard.
How’s it sound thus far?
The pandering politician of the year to Butch Church for his statement that prayer before meetings was the most important issue to ever come before the board
The stupid is as stupid Does award to the roanoke tea party for its paranoid obsession with iclei/agenda 21.
Category – The “put-Governor Intrusive Ultrasound [McDonnell] in his place award.”
I nominate Democratic Delegate David Englin who issued the following statement in response to the passage of a bill to make a transvaginal ultrasound mandatory before getting an abortion.
“I offered an amendment that would have protected women from the unwanted vaginal penetration required by this bill. House Republicans rejected that amendment. The next time Virginia Republicans speak the words ‘GOVERNMENT INTRUSION’ I hope voters will remember this vote and hold them accountable for their hypocrisy” [Feb 2012]
http://www.arlnow.com/2012/02/14/englin-blasts-gop-bill-for-requiring-vaginal-penetration/
I’ll nominate the RTP for the Agenda 21 Tin Foil Hat Award.
It’s hard to pick just one Republican Senatorial candidate over another this year, however, I nominate Richard Mourdock for a Dano Award, for this stupid remark that took a safe Republican Senate seat and gave it to the Democrats.

Sorry I went outside Virginia, but I just had to make the nomination anyway.
I hope Buchanan’s not too far away, because Billy Joe Carter deserves an award for something. I’m drawing a complete blank on category suggestions, unfortunately.
Frank
If what you’re talking about happened in 2012, it’s eligible for a nomination.
These ARE the 2012 Dano Awards, after all.
I nominate a group of people: White Liberals who don’t mix race. These folks can’t even walk their talk about supposed genetic equality in humans.
These are the same people who only love Charles Darwin when they are bashing religion. However, when you point out that different races evolved in different environments and thus evolved differently, they suddenly can’t put 2 and 2 together about how Darwin’s evolutionary theory views the different races of the human species.
(Compare the work of Jared Diamond to that of Arthur Jensen for a modern look at race and genetics. You may hate Jensen, but he is much more the scholar than Diamond. Jensen died recently too, but that probably warms a Liberal’s heart.)
Ron May:
11.”Sorry I went outside Virginia, but I just had to make the nomination anyway.”
May Dr. May’s comment be stricken from the record!
.
fyi, folks “Mirror Universe” is posting from the same IP address as previous posters Sneeches, Face It and RealTalk.
MU, if you are the same person as the other three, please pick an ID and stick with that one.
So John Wilburn, are you asking Dan to strike my apology from the record or…??
I also nominate the Roanoke Tea Party. Any one who seriously fears the United Nations taking over Roanoke County, has more than a few screws loose.
You can’t give a Dano to the RTP without also giving them to Ed Elswick and Butch Church. The pandering RoCo supervisors can’t go unrewarded.
Debbie and others,
The Tea Party is definitely on the list!
The truth at last award to Roanoke County Supervisor Ed Elswick for his
candor at a board meeting when he said ‘I don’t even know why I’m here”
a sentiment most Roanoke County citizens can agree with.
“6. The pandering politician of the year to Butch Church for his statement that prayer before meetings was the most important issue to ever come before the board Comment by dave — November 17, 2012 @ 3:36 pm”
Dave, he gets my vote, too! The guy is a Pharisee who would have killed the real Jesus in a heartbeat, then pissed on his corpse.
Dan:
16.”fyi, folks “Mirror Universe” is posting from the same IP address as previous posters Sneeches, Face It and RealTalk.”
Yeah, looked like the same trolling, race-baiting provacation. Let’s call him/her MUSFIRT.
Gotta add three more nominees:
Dean Chambers
Clifford Russell
Colin Small
dan,
i suggest that you award a dano to the Roanoke Times…let’s call it the “between a rock and a hard place” dano, for the RTs not wanting to report that one of it’s own Landmark Media Executives, Maurice Jones, recieved an appointment by President Obama…in the fall of 2011, at about the same time as Mr. Jones also gave pink slips to over 50 Virginian-Pilot employees, while pocketing a bonus exceeding $250,000 for himself.
The only newspaper report I can find about Mr. Jones’ appointment was in the Washington Times in January, 2012.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jan/18/publisher-called-layoffs-painful-while-pocketing-b/
Dan,
I nominate Messrs. Dalhouse, Porterfield, and Turner for the “Excuse Me, Dan, Don’t You Know We Are Philanthropists!” award, or if you prefer, the “How Dare You Puncture My Pomposity” award.
“The pandering politician of the year to Butch Church for his statement that prayer before meetings was the most important issue to ever come before the board.”
Comment by dave
How could the 2012 Dano Awards overlook Ed Elswick and Butch Church?
I would also like to nominate Butch Church. How he can figure out how to put his suit on without the help of his
Lord and savior is beyond me… and apparently the rest of the county.
After months of jawboning so-called voter fraud without a single specific example of it, Republicans in Virginia and across the country were in desperate need of real live bogeymen at whom they could point the finger.
That volunteer patsy was none other than Colin Small, a Pennsylvanian with extensive ties to the GOP, who had appeared in photographs with Rep. Bob Goodlatte and Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccineilli. Allegedly, Small dumped a bunch of voter registration applications in a commercial dumpster, an act that led to his arrest on felony and misdemanor charges.
He gets the 2012 Dano in the category of “See? I told you there’s voter fraud!”
I nominate Integrity Windows and Doors of Roanoke for the myoppic company of the year dano. Tgis company, which thrived for the past three years due to the tax credits and green energy initiatives of the Obama administration, still hosted a campaign event at their plant for Mitt Romney.
The Don Quixote win dmill tilting award to Virgil Goode for the zaniness of his egotistical run for the Presidency under the Constitution Party.
Hmmm . . . Virgil Goode?
How about the Dano for Egotism in Old Confederacy? Or, best impersonation of Ward Burton by a politician?
Dan@12:52
+2! Much more clever.
Eric Cantor…
You seriously have to say he gets points
by not, at some point , proclaiming..
“Look at Virgil Goode..
Im not the biggest Hermit Crab in the state”
#25 Having more trouble reading, Frankie? Dan wanted events that happened in 2012.
hey there, gdud!
sooo, ol’ dano hired you as his wing-man, eh? on second thought, maybe you are foisting your wily ways on ol’ dano for free. nevertheless, i suggest you go back and try, try, and try again…to cogitate the facts…the most obvious of which is that this particular “close to home” obuma appointment was swept under the rug by all things Landmark Media…including the RTs.
Tell us gdud, why ya think Landmark hushed-up this particular obuma appointment?
Gomer
High Beam, a news article archive service lists the article in this link and several others, all published in the Virginian Pilot re: the appointment of Maurice Jones as Deputy Secretary at HUD. In addition, Hampton Roads, the online edition of the Pilot had more than one article about the appointment and the appopintment of the man who succeeeded him as publisher of the Pilot. As usual, you readf some right wing bushwa account and were too lazy to research the actusl truth. So crawl bacl into your caricature and leavce commenting to people who actuaslly understasnd how to find the truth.
http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-275387578.html
I’d say give a “Roanoke County Lawyer Stimulus Act” Dano to the whole Roanoke Co BOS for unanimously adopting the “nonsectarian” prayer policy and choosing to be advised by the Liberty Counsel.
And don’t let county atty Mahoney off either after this:
Mahoney asked officials to make one amendment to the policy before approval. The original proposal stated: “any private citizen, including those who do not belong to religious congregation or who hold no religious beliefs may request the Clerk to be added to the list of persons delivering invocations.” He asked officials to delete the reference to citizens who hold no religious beliefs because other attorneys have advised it opens the floor to speakers who might give mocking or disparaging remarks.
That was from http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/316701 . Seems like they could get sued for not allowing atheists, who it seems to me could do a moment of silence just as good as a evangelist. And anyone *could* be disparaging.
And after reading http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/311226 throw in “community activist” Susan “Suzie?” Edwards for her efforts to organize a rally/news conference in support of prayer in July.
Isn’t she the one that spoke at a board meeting against the chicken ordinance allowing up to 6 chickens (I think that’s the number) in residential areas because she felt it restricted freedom, evidently not realizing that previously chickens weren’t allowed at all in residential areas?
hey ol’ dano’s “lunch-line” partner, how ya doin’?
i checked the good ol’ RTs’ website, along with the Virginian-Pilot’s web-site. neither showed anything regarding obuma’s appointment of Mr. Jones.
My particular interest was generated by the, well, “appearance” that Landmark Media squelched (or, the leaders of the RTS chose to squelch) any announcement of Jones’ appointment from appearing in the good ol’ Roanoke Times.
c’mon, man, it stinks to high heaven!
This guy lays off more than 50 people…draws a salary of over $600,000 in a 21 month period, gets a bonus of over $250,000 and lays off 50+ people at the same time as he gets a potus appointment…and he’s been a public “servant” (with no business experience at all…) during his career prior to being hired at Landmark?
How does the RTs treat their delivery people?
I don’t really blame the Roanoke Times for keeping THIS thingy quiet. I just find it incredibly ironic to contrast THIS with many libs’ animosity toward “big bid’ness” in general…nevermind the bs done by their own “big bid’ness” owners. people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
and, just to show some fairness, I really like the increase in pages which the RTs is devoting to the sports section! I think whoever made that decision knows what they’re doing!
Frank believes he knows a lot. He’s like a lot of RWers, who are woefully ignorant of what they DON’T know, but who are happy to fill in all those gaps with their assumptions. It’s both funny to watch but sad in a way.
It truly calls into question the education system of this country. How did it ever get so bad, that so many people like this finished 6th grade, or high school, or graduated from a university?
Or did they simply get theater degrees and then decided to spend the rest of their lives delivering Oscar-worthy performances of acting dumb?
Harry Byrd used to like to say that he never wanted to spend too much on education, because if you educated folks too much they got uppity and started asking questions, and they wouldn’t work cheap.
It’s a conservative mind set, and it’s a crying shame.
“This guy lays off more than 50 people…draws a salary of over $600,000 in a 21 month period, gets a bonus of over $250,000 and lays off 50+ people at the same time as he gets a potus appointment…and he’s been a public “servant” (with no business experience at all…) during his career prior to being hired at Landmark?”
Comment by Frank — November 18, 2012 @ 6:35 pm
Frank,
You didn’t seem to have a problem with Mitt Romney & his buddies at Bain Capital doing this.
FRANK: “This guy lays off more than 50 people…draws a salary of over $600,000 in a 21 month period, gets a bonus of over $250,000 and lays off 50+ people at the same time as he gets a potus appointment…and he’s been a public “servant” (with no business experience at all…) during his career prior to being hired at Landmark?”
RON: “Frank, You didn’t seem to have a problem with Mitt Romney & his buddies at Bain Capital doing this.”
Ron, the difference is, Romney and the Bain boys were white. That might make all the difference in the world to Frank.
Frank, why in the hell is this so important that you have to bring it up repeatedly? Do you think if you keep droning on and on about it maybe you’ll change somebodies mind and they’ll maybe give two s**ts about it as passionately as you do? Or maybe you’re thinking that your broken record act will cause somebody to divine some sort of “gotcha” moment? Frank, you’ll be mistaken if you’re banking on either of these two outcomes.
First “hook, line and sinker” and now this nonsense; you are quickly morphing into the patron saint of lost causes.
No one cares.
Dan, there are a lot of RWers who believe any stupid e-mail forward that lands in their inbox. But, please recognize there are just as many stupid LWers! Neither side has a monopoly on stupid.
“Frank, why in the hell is this so important that you have to bring it up repeatedly? Do you think if you keep droning on and on about it maybe you’ll change somebodies mind and they’ll maybe give two s**ts about it as passionately as you do?”
Steve, it seems obvious that Frank gets very, very upset at the idea that a black man would ever be in a position to lay off any white folks. It probably also galls him that a black guy could ever ascend the ranks to the title “publisher.”
This is Virginia, after all, and we were the capital of the Confederacy. Old values — if that’s what you want to call them — die hard.
JW there are dumb LWers indeed. The chief difference is, they are more likely to at least be smart enough to know they’re dumb — and because of that keep their traps shut. The dumb RWers are the loudest ones.
Dan:
“The chief difference is, they are more likely to at least be smart enough to know they’re dumb…”
Not always, but more of them realize it that the RWers do, for sure.
“The dumb RWers are the loudest ones.”
Indeed. An end-justifies-the-means arrogance thing on their part. I think that’s why they’re mouthier.
Suzie is the worst ambassador for the RW ever.
Suzie is the worst ambassador for the RW ever.
John W. I’ve been pretty polite the last few days as I’ve explained to leftwingers what 0bama’s true goals are. For some reason, you seem very upset by this, even though you seem to agree with me.
Suzie:
“John W. I’ve been pretty polite the last few days as I’ve explained to leftwingers what 0bama’s true goals are.”
I have noticed that you have turned it down a much needed notch and appreciate that very much, but you still don’t have original content to add to the canned RW topic du jour. I agree with you on the topic of Obama more than any of the lefties here, but when you harp on communism for the eleventeenth time in the same post, it’s not only falling on deaf ears, but you’re actually being counter-productive.
I’ve made a number of arguments here. Sometimes the lefties care and engage, sometimes they don’t, but either way, it is never a productive endeavor to drone about it. You’ve said your piece and will convert no one by repeating it infinitely. You hurt your cause.
First Frank said this:
The only newspaper report I can find about Mr. Jones’ appointment was in the Washington Times in January, 2012.

Comment by Frank — November 17, 2012 @ 10:09 pm
Then Frank said this:
…to cogitate the facts…the most obvious of which is that this particular “close to home” obuma appointment was swept under the rug by all things Landmark Media…including the RTs.
Tell us gdud, why ya think Landmark hushed-up this particular obuma appointment?
Comment by Frank — November 18, 2012 @ 12:39 pm
The I gave Frank a link which gave him a list of five articles which appeared in the Virginian Pilot ( a landmark paper) on the very topic he is so concerned about. Then he tried to pretend that well he was only concerned about the Roanoke Times when he posted this:
i checked the good ol’ RTs’ website, along with the Virginian-Pilot’s web-site. neither showed anything regarding obuma’s appointment of Mr. Jones.
My particular interest was generated by the, well, “appearance” that Landmark Media squelched (or, the leaders of the RTS chose to squelch) any announcement of Jones’ appointment from appearing in the good ol’ Roanoke Times.
Now the question this raises about Franks “research” into this issue must lead to one of the following conclusions:
A. Frank is lying
B. Frank is too lazy to actuaslly search for the truth
C. Frank is too stupid t do a thorough internet search or
D. All of the above.
Based on his self charcterization as a doofus from Mayberry and his posts on other subjects which have been equally lacking in verifiable fqcts or common sense, I am forced to conclude thaqt the answer iw “D”
hey dano,
Yep, you switch from the topic…to personal attack…and like a typical lib, you then throw the race card. Well, it IS all you’ve got left on this one. But, it’s a lie.
YOU are the one who sees things in black and white. I see the guy being an accomplished tool of the same ol’ rich capitalists you libs wail on and on about. Yet, landmark communications, your employer, screws their delivery folks and gives key staff like Jones plum jobs, plum salaries, outrageous bonuses, and lays off people to do it. Not unlike Twinkies and Papa Johns…except you are too full of kool-aid to see it, and you castigate Twinkies and Papa Johns while ignoring the oder that’s in your house.
That, dano, is called hypocrisy.
You too, stevie boy.
hey Ron,
It was folks like you and Dan who made that the issue in the campaign, and railed against “capitalists”. I’m just pointing out to good ol’ dano that his own house smells pretty much like…capitalists.
However, if Dan will treat Landmark Media in the same fashion as Bain, Papa Johns, and Twinkies, at least he won’t be a hypocrit.
dave,
You’re right in everything you wrote about Frank and his outrage. It is clear that the story was covered in Landmark papers. Another thing that’s clear is that Frank is still outraged by it.
The ONLY possibilities I can come up with are:
1) The (former) publisher in question is black, and (sadly) certain segments of society look very dimly on black people rising to positions of power and influence; and
2) The black publisher dared to lay off WHITE employees, and Frank is totally outraged by that “it-should-never-have-gotten-this-way” arrangement. That is sad, too.
I hope I’m wrong, and that there is some legitimate reason for Frank’s outrage and fixation, rather than the two backwards, racist illegitimate ones above.
But if there is, he sure hasn’t explained it.
“I have noticed that you have turned it down…”
It’s reinventing itself ahead the much-anticipated RT blogger summit.
Oh, NOW I get it! Frank is furious that I won’t criticize my employer, on a blog that bears my name, which my employer owns. How dare I not do that, because FRANK WANTS ME TO! It is an outrage, I tell you.
Other things that drive Frank into a blind fury:
When the green light on Grandin @ Brandon turns red too fast!
That President Obama won’t go on Barbara Walters and acknowledge that Michelle has a broad backside!
There is no sea salt in Tide detergent. FALSE ADVERTISING!
Take a chill pill, Frank.
Hey dan,
…in all seriousness, that’s kinda why I suggested that the Roanoke Times be awarded the “between a rock and a hard place” dano.
“You too, stevie boy.”
Comment by Frank — November 18, 2012 @ 9:45 pm
Frank, your fundamental break down in reasoning here is that you think capitalism and liberalism are incompatible.
The simple fact of the matter that your pea sized brain can’t wrap it’s wussy arms around is that I’m liberal, have a Master’s degree in Business Administration, had a kick ass career in banking for ten years achieving sales goals surpassing 287% of my goals even when my tracking began 2 weeks after everyone else in my region, a record that still stands, and now after the banking industry imploded, I’m safely ensconced in a new profession where my dual certification is matched by less than 20 people on the planet in a business where openings will surpass licensed applicants by 25% as far as the industry can project. I spend more on dry cleaning in a week that you do on food, and my daily per-diem for meals (which I’ll turn in Dec 31) would more than purchase me a single wide just like the one you live in.
Frank, my little (left) toe forgot more about capitalism last week than you’ll ever know. But know this, Frank; (door)matt’s master’s degree in early childhood lit or whatever the hell it’s in will never, ever match my salary unless he writes the next Harry Potter.
Frank, just in case I haven’t rubbed enough salt in your wounds tonight, also kindly factor in to my resume that I somehow accomplished all this AND took four years out of my life to serve in that other wussy occupation, serving in the United States Navy aboard the USS JFK, CV67. If you want to try to engage me in a pissing match I will drown you. I’ve had zits on my ass that will have a far greater impact on the course of humanity that you or any of your pathetic miserable offspring ever will.
The only hypocrisy here is you whining about the simple fact that you never had the stones to be anything more in life than a two bit hack that woke up at 2am to assure my paper was on the front stoop when I awoke at 7.
I thought this thread was supposed
to be for nominating for the Dano awards..
Not raging against the weakest links here..
??
joe, I find out a while back that on-topic is not one of the virtues of this blog! There was a time where no thread was safe from endless debate about Rick Santorum, trans-vaginal ultrasouns, or birth control. it was tiring, but just like that stuff, this stuff will pass.
Steve C… Why don’t you tell us how you really feel about, Frank! Geez, After that I think Frank will need to double up on the Xanax and Evan Williams to recover from the revelation you just bestowed upon him! LOL!
Wanted to ask… where were you able to travel in the Navy? I was in the marines and participated in a joint mission with the Navy called Unitas. It was a four month mission around South America, loads of fun! We started on a LSD called USS Lamoure County, we ran aground in Chile, and had to be picked up by USS Tortuga. Running aground was quite an experience… but anyways, Thanks for your service, Brother! Play any chess?
In honor of The Darwin Awards, I think we should have a “Dano, Darwin Award”. Which would ask the recipient to not reproduce, so as to not spread his or her genes to the next generation. Thus, without their genes we get a smarter and more efficient gene pool in the next generation.
For the Dano, Darwin Award, I would like to nominate the freaks of nature, Frank, and Suzie. I hope that we as a society can get these two spayed and/or neutered.
And yet little Alcoholic Stevie C is middle aged, he isn’t married, has no offspring, and has the face of the Green Goblin (which probably explains the no offspring thingy). There’s a great picture on a previous thread for verification. The fact that Alcoholic Steve C is forced to beat his chest on a blog frequented by about 12 people in a small town in southwest Virginia shows just how very far he has come in this life. And his wimply little “life update” posts that no one ever responds to are direct evidence of this. They are reminiscent of a lonely and pathetic soul that is desperately reaching out for anyone, just anyone, to please like me.
In little Alcoholic Stevie’s last post, he bragged about having an MBA, about his “kick ass career in banking,” about his supposed amazing sales record (riiiight), and his “dual certification” that only 20 people on the planet can match(sure, Alcoholic Stevie). Oh, and don’t forget that he bragged about how much he spends on dry cleaning. Put all that together, and it would seem that we have one very small and ugly man (again, look at the picture) who has compensated his entire failed life by becoming adept at telling some great stories (so people will either like or respect him). I imagine this tactic has not worked very well for ol Alcoholic Stevie C.
You see, the basic tenets of psychology would tell us that anyone who feels the need to spend so much time bragging is simply trying to mask their many inadequacies in the real world (one can only imagine what those are). Take the military thing for example, of which Alcoholic Stevie also bragged in his last post. Most normal people who served don’t feel the need to brag about it, but Alcoholic Stevie does. In fact, how many of us know people who served in the military that constantly brag about their service?(Crickets) In nearly every post, regardless of the thread or topic, Alcoholic Stevie feels the need to bring up that he spent four years riding around on a ship 30 years ago.
Bottom line: Alcoholic Stevie is a very weak and small man who has probably accomplished little in his life. And if the $hit really did hit the fan one day, Alcoholic Stevie would probably be found cowering in a corner sucking his thumb and needing an underwear change.
Now, back to your bottle, Alcoholic Stevie.
hey little steve c,
good morning! glad to see you’ve got fire in the belly to go along with no sense in your pea-brain. however, watch your blood pressure… now, on to business!
sooo, why do YOU think that the Roanoke Times refused to make any announcement concerning obuma’s political appointment of one of their bosses?
hey justin true,
…spoken like a true NAZI! I dub thee, “true nazi”.
I nominate Dick Morris (What’s eating Gilbert Right Winger) as the perfect embodiment of what is wrong with the right wing and why people like Suzie, lower case matt, Frank, Leon, Pistol Pete, terps, pammala, Sharon N., et al not only post their bile but are proud of their ignorance, belligerent in their deceit, distortion and disgusting communications, and wrong about virtually everything they think or say. He is the poster child for ignorance.
All right, everybody, that’s it. This is thread for Dano Award nominations. From now on I’m going to trash every comment that isn’t a nomination.
You can take the mindless natterings over to an open thread.
I also nominate “Right Wing bloggers” for the ‘Dano much about…’ anything. But it never stops them from propounding or holding forth on anything. A more reliably uninformed, willfully ignorant, hate filled group of people cannot be found. And they are so proud to prove it that it defies any logic.
I want to nominate the blog’s very own “Suzie” for her very public and epic failure of predicting the winner of the presidential election and subsequent, convenient disappearance just before the election when the handwriting was on the wall. Dave Hicks deserves some credit for compiling the trail of crash and burn for our reading enjoyment too.
