Say hello to the honorable mention DUmmies of 2008

[Ralph Wiggum]

It is getting to be that time of year to reveal the Top 10 DUmmies of 2008.  I’d like to say a huge thank you to all who voted.  This year’s voting completely blew away each of the past few years.

As evidenced by the results, it was extremely difficult to make the Top 10.  There were simply so many competitors.  Thankfully, we’ve been able to pare down the list to determine the cream of the DUmmy crop for 2008.  This thread will reveal those who just missed the Top 10.  But not to worry, the Top 10 will be revealed later this week.

For now, here are your “Honorable Mention” DUmmies of 2008.

AdBot

I don’t recall exactly when $kimmer started using Adbot, but the most prolific poster at the DUmp surely made a splash in 2008.  Often ridiculing the DUmmies, Adbot consistently confounded the primitives and provided immense humor to all of us.

Please note: AdBot is a constantly changing advertisement.  If you click on the DUmp links, there is a completely different ad showing now.  Thankfully, many of you captured what AdBot was teasing the DUmmies with at the time of the post.  For example…

Ad for making $5,000 working from home.

I'm thinking we should not have that ad running. During times if high unemployment there are always ads that take money from the unemployed, money they do not have to spend, by appealing to their desperation.

Whether it is some technical school, or list of government jobs, or books and tapes on how to start your own business, they play on the fact that people are desperate to get some kind of income. I hate those ads! I've fallen for them. I bought Tony Robins tapes many years ago on how to start your own business and be successful.

His business idea was for you to sell his tapes to more fools just like me!

THE TIME FOR EXCUSES IS OVER

The Democrats have majorities in the House and the Senate, and the election is over. The time has come to do the right thing. The evidence is overwhelming.

bobbolink

Poor, poor, poor, poor, poor, poor bobbolink.  Claims poverty and is intentionally homeless.   Apparently lives in her/his/its car, yet still wanders to the library daily to vent about being poor, and bitches about anyone who doubts him/her/it.

Check out the DUmp Poverty Forum if you don’t believe me.  Or, just click the following links.

Say hello to Vermont’s finest, the notorious Hillary hater and Obama worshiper, as Cali makes an appearance as on our honorable mention list.

Bashing Hillary for not conceding gracefully enough

Passionately supporting the Big Zero

Bashing Hillary protestors of the Magic Negro

Primary Obama/Hillary bickering

kpete

The queen (and I don’t mean gay, but she could be) of posting the hottest news from the most important websites on the internet.  You know, sites like RawStory, HuffingtonPost, Truthout, MediaMatters, TalkingPointsMemo, etc.  Inevitably, the DUmmies just read her cross-posting thread titles and K&R them to death as if there were actual evidence to any semblance of truth.  This freak must have a google alert system that finds the moonbattiest stories.

Her usual thread titles read something like this:

Cheney eats Iraqi babies, Hague tribunal imminent
Exclusive proof of election fraud: Janitor confirms he thinks it happened
Tales from Guantanamo: “Rove personally tortured me!”
The “My Pet Goat” lie  – Bush was actually reading in code to alert the neocons of  upcoming attack
Conclusive evidence - Tests prove Obama’s shit really doesn’t stink
Captured on Tape! Bush said “I want dark people to die in Hurricane Katrina”
Bin Laden alive and living in basement of White House (Eyewitness Accounts!)
Confirmed: Paraguay digs set for Bush after Obama inauguration (Avoiding any war crimes prosecution)
Evidence shows conclusively that Condi Rice & Clarence Thomas aren’t really black (DNA from coffee cups examined)
Planes that hit the twin towers on 9/11 were holograms, say former laser light show producers

Name Removed

Likely the second most prolific poster at the DUmp (behind the almight AdBot, of course), “Name Removed” has a special place in our hearts.  Unlike most message boards, the Nazi-like moderators at the DUmp lock & remove posts constantly.  They can’t have any contrary information posted, no sir.

I’d post some examples of the great posts by “Name Removed”, but by definition, they’ve all been flushed.

Nance Greggs

Bloviating Molly Ivins wannabe.  She posts her screeds every few days, to mountainous Kicks & Recommends.  She’s actually a far better writer than the Bostonian Drunkard, which isn’t saying much.  Better than Wee Willie mostly because I don’t immediately fall asleep when I read her crap.

For lots of examples of her sophomoric prose, click here.


Redstone

I can’t define Redstone any better than Frank Solich, so I’ll leave the honors to him:

The "stoned red-faced primitive" is the moniker for "Redstone", which was later elaborated on further, as the title seemed too meager to describe the personal qualities of the stoned red-faced primitive, and so the "bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive" evolved, illustrating his hot temperament.  (And yes, the stoned red-faced primitive once got some jollies out of smashing his fist into the beak of an innocent harmless bird; he admitted it.)

Redstone hooks up with TomInTib

Temper tantrum from Redstone

Redstone realizes he is a loser

underground panther

Someone this delusional and clearly insane really doesn’t need to be ridiculed.  I mean, come on, a human being who is trying to convert themselves into an asexual cat?  But sticking strictly with political views, UP has earned an honorable mention.

Anyway, here are few of the posts from “it’ in 2008.

FDA is trying to kill the subway cat

UP is androgynous

Subway cat and food lines

UP explains sex

Wiley50

Yet another idiot semi-homeless socialist DUmmy, somewhat in the vein of bobbolink.  In researching Wiley’s posts, he/she/it seems to have found a kindred spirit in TomInTib.  I’ve noticed that they often respond to each other’s more ridiculous posts.  Coincidence?  That might be something for a sleuth here to investigate a little more in depth.

A little bit of history on why disability made Wiley50 a Socialist

In a thread asking how the DUmmies have been doing in the last eight years, here comes Wiley with a sob story.

41. 8 years ago I was married, owned a quarter mil lake house with 2 sailboats at my dock
 Now I'm divorced, camped out in a derelict sailboat miles from any body of water.

Thanks Bushies!

William Pitt

An also ran again, Wee Willie.  The perennial heavyweight of the DUmp has given us some laughs through the years, none better than the Rove non-indictment fiasco of 2006.

To recap his year, he still has an idiot liberal for a mother (Howdy Raven!)  We’re not really sure if he’s still drawing a paycheck from Truthout or not, nor do we actually know if Truthout pays anyone.  Perhaps the Pittster gets some residuals from the porn ads.

And you are all welcome…I didn’t post the wonderfully photoshopped pic of Pitt (courtesy Daveman)…with Wee Willie’s head shaped in a very phallic way, if you get my drift.

If anyone needs an Ambien, feel free to check out the “best” of the Bostonian Drunkard.

Stay tuned for the Top 10, coming later this week.  Merry Christmas to all!

Oh my.

I was really hoping the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive would make it into the Top Ten, rather than the bottom half of the Top Twenty.

My, my, what a temper Chief S itting Bull has.

[BlueStateSaint]

Sniffa's comment is a riot!

And come on, Will Pitt is starting to be like Cal Ripken--just keep naming him to the All-Star team because he's always made it.

 

Methinks there's some jeaousy here!

[franksolich]

You know, I've always been highly suspicious that the kaput primitive, the kpete primitive, is a mole because of the preposterous things she posts, so as to get the hopes of the primitives up.

Mr. Wiggum pointed it out so well:

Her usual thread titles read something like this:

Cheney eats Iraqi babies, Hague tribunal imminent

Exclusive proof of election fraud: Janitor confirms he thinks it happened

Tales from Guantanamo: “Rove personally tortured me!”

The “My Pet Goat” lie  – Bush was actually reading in code to alert the neocons of  upcoming attack

Conclusive evidence - Tests prove Obama’s shit really doesn’t stink

Captured on Tape! Bush said “I want dark people to die in Hurricane Katrina”

Bin Laden alive and living in basement of White House (Eyewitness Accounts!)

Confirmed: Paraguay digs set for Bush after Obama inauguration (Avoiding any war crimes prosecution)

Evidence shows conclusively that Condi Rice & Clarence Thomas aren’t really black (DNA from coffee cups examined)

Planes that hit the twin towers on 9/11 were holograms, say former laser light show producers

Now, the above's just sarcasm on Mr. Wiggum's part, but it's really true; she does post things exactly like that.

And it gets the hopes of the primitives up.

Now, if I needed new mole techniques, I'd do exactly what the kaput primitive does, posting really stupid ridiculous things so as to get the primitives' hopes up, and then laughing gleefully as such hopes crash.

I'm still not sure the kaput primitive's not a mole.

[franksolich]

You know, bijou, madam, that primitive totally misses the point of watching the primitives.

Some watch the primitives for light amusement.

And some of us watch the primitives as a public service.

I've explained this all over the DUmpster, but for the convenience of lurking primitives, I'll explain it again.

(a) We do not set the standards for primitives.

(b) Primitives set the standards for themselves, themselves.

(c) Primitives allege themselves to be better than decent and civilized people.

(d) Are primitives actually better than decent and civilized people?

Places such as P-J Comix's most-excellent DUmmie FUnnies, our old home, and the DUmpster and DUmping Ground here, try to answer (d) by applying (a), (b), and (c).

Sort of like how Consumer Reports tests products, to see if they're what they claim to be.

That's all we're doing; testing the alleged quality, to see if it's up to snuff.

Just like Consumer Reports.

That's all we're doing, is providing a public service.

And when the primitives fall about three planets short of being what they allege themselves to be, that's not our fault, as the primitives themselves set the standards for themselves.

Hoping the visitors that have come here from various links take some time to see what DU really is in case this is all new to them.

Good job, Ralph.  Looking forward to seeing who the top whackos will be this year.

What was awesome was at the peak, we had 116, of which 103 were guests.

Records were broken today.

And I suspect when the Top 10 DUmmies of 2008 come out in a couple of days, we may exceed that.

Yeah.

My fellow alum Skins has no sense of humor, apparently.

[Airwolf]

When you lurkers are done looking here you can stop by the thread that TiT has mentioned over there at DU about himself and see what the fuss is about . Then you can make up your own minds as to why we regard him as lower then whale shit on the ocean floor.

[franksolich]

.....we regard him as lower then whale shit on the ocean floor.

I wouldn't put the bug-eyed lying titty primitive on a pedestal that high, sir.
