American Asshole of the Year

[IassaFTots]

Julia Stiles.

LO Friggin L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


 

Hi5!

[DefiantSix]

If we're doing Ãœberdouche, we definitely need to put my vote in for Rachel "meaty-fingers" Mad-Cow.

[Airwolf]

I think Harry Reid is pushing for the title but then again everything he has done could be filed under douchebaggery too.

[The Hollywood NeoCon]

Julia Stiles.

Ok there, Joanna One-Note... 

[md11hydmec]

For a while I thought my ex wife would show up and nominate me..................


Seriously, though....Keith Olbermann and Bill Maher.  Those 2 idiots will stop at nothing to show their stupidity if it helps their ratings.

[THA HOUSTON PIMP IS IN DA HOUZ!]

Jesse James.


Dood, how the Hell u gonna knock boots with skanks when u have Sandra Bullock?    I would invent new pages to the Kama Sutra with Sandra. 


But Obama is the biggest asshole

But O'Bummer is disqualified because he isn't an American.

[Godot showed up]

Yeah, him.  Remember when he was on BOR, and Bill asked him if new IRS agents were going to enforce the mandated insurance?  Wiener just looked off camera at the ground, and heaved a HUGE sigh.  Refused to answer, acted like a 10 year old girl. 

I'm joining you and Wayne on the Wiener pick. M.....mmm...mm....MY congressman (got it out) has always been a real go-getter in the assholery department, but this year he's taken it to a new level, I have to say. He really let it all hang out after Obama was elected. He was always a radical/Communist, but he made some small effort to hide it pre-Obama.

Welcome to the MINORITY Wiener. You won't be seeing anything YOU otrPelosi want coming to the floor. Can hardly wait to hear you squalk about the "outrage."

That was my first thought when that happened. Cheating on Sandra Bullock?! I mean, look at her! Truly, James is an asshole.

I nominated Lebron James just now so we wouldn't have a default winner in sports. I know a whole lot of bupkiss about basketball, but that thing with the hour-long commercial spot was serious assholery.

There are so many calls for Obama, that I say we give him an honorary American Rectum of the Decade Award. He's not just the sphincter (the anus), he's the whole lower canal of the colon. What do you all think? This is probably the ONLY award that he could ever get that takes cognizance of his dubious nationality, and chooses to award him honorary American citsizenship for the purpose of the award. He ought to treasure this one, the self-enamored putz.

So now we vote on the nominees in each category. Here we can vote just once (in each category). I suppose at this point the number of nominations don't actually matter, except that they may reflect the end voting, and may also convince some people by their numerical intensity.

I'm not going to vote yet--I don't want to possibly set a tone or trend at the outset, although you're all such free thinkers that this is likely a small-to-nonexistent worry.

[Ptarmigan]

That was my first thought when that happened. Cheating on Sandra Bullock?! I mean, look at her! Truly, James is an asshole.

Why would any man cheat on Sandra Bullock?  She got the looks and talents.

[Airwolf]

Why would any man cheat on Sandra Bullock?  She got the looks and talents.

that she does but I have heard through sources that she is a grade A+ bitch to everyone.

[Attero Dominatus]

Criminals
The South Hadley 6

Propaganda/state-run media
Keith Olbermann

Religion for the Damned
Fred Phelps

Derangetainment
Kathy Griffin

Crony capitalism
Ted Turner

Jihadism
Feisal Abdul Rauf

Treason
Bradley Manning

[Godot showed up]

Hit me afterward that 3 categories were still default, but sometimes life is like that. Eg, for treason, Manning is a runaway.


I kind of like this image for the category level winners:





which this year, for reasons I'm to lazy to explain, I'm calling the Assange-Simpson award (oh ok: topical asswipe applied to legendary asshole).



and for the Nolan (the winner, Overall Year's Greatest Asshole)---we'll vote on that after the category winners:






Not sure of that last--the floor is open for possibly better iconic "Nolans."

[Karin]

Here are my votes for the non-default categories:

I had to think hard about the politicians one, and so I selected based on who physically makes my blood boil, whose voice on the TV I simply cannot abide, in short, an allergic reaction:

Mayor Mike The Nanny Bloomberg

I didn't even like typing that, you arrogant douchebag. 

Media:  Bill Maher.  Can't stand to look at his ugly ugly face.  Looks just like Julian Assange.  Revolting.  At least we won't have to deal with him in heaven.

Showbiz:  Kathy Griffin.  She's not even funny. 

[Godot showed up]

Due to my natural default state—laziness—I never finished this. I’ll have to rethink this for next year; I started this thread a bit on the fly.

Attero and Karin voted after the nominations, so I’m going to add their votes TO the nominations, and treat the nominations as if they were after-nomination votes. Next year I may just dispense with the nominating and simply go straight to voting.
After adding in the votes of those who voted—and my own votes—we have the following totals:
Tyranny and Misgovernment
Nancy Pelosi (7)
Michael Bloomberg (5)
Jimmy Carter (4)
Anthony Wiener (3)
Chuck Schumer (2)
Harry Reid (3)
Barney Frank (2)
Ron Paul (2)
Tom Harkin
Democrats
John “Did I mention I served in Vietnam?” Kerry
Eric Holder
Chris Dodd
Robert Gibbs
Maxine (just call me Incoherent) Waters
Babs (I earned my title, General) Boxer
Bill (Slick Willie) Clinton


Criminals
Elisa Baker
The South Hadley 6 (3)





Propaganda/state-run media
Keith Olbermann (8)
Jon Stewart (2)
Bill Maher (3)
Mainstream Media
Helen Thomas
Michael Moore
Michael Crook
Rachel Maddow



Religion for the Damned
Fred Phelps (5)



Derangetainment
Kathy Griffin (4)
Angelina Jolie
Lindsay Lohan
Kanye West
Lady Gaga (1)
Jesse James
Whitney Cummings
Jesse James
Julia Stiles





Crony capitalism
Ted Turner


Jihadism
Feisal Abdul Rauf


Treason
Bradley Manning (3)



Unsportsmanship
Bret Favre
LeBron James (1)





Several categories had only one nominee, and so the winners are automatic:

Treason—Bradley Manning
Jihadism—Feisal Abdul Rauf
Crony Capitalism—Ted Turner
Religion for the Damned—Fred Phelps

Okeeee—in the category of Propaganda/state-run media, the winner in a runaway is:
Keith Olbermann

In the category of Derangetainment, the (to me) surprise winner is:
Kathy Griffin

In the category of Criminals, the winner is:
The South Hadley 6

In the category of Unsportsmanship, the winner is:
LeBron James (I voted for him over Favre)

And, in the category of Tyranny and Misgovernment, the winner is

Nazi Pelosi (with His Dishonor, Michael Bloomberg, coming in a close second)







Now, given these winners, we need to select an overall winner, the one who has his or her American citizenship revoked and wins the Nolan. Personally, for me, there’s not even a question here; I vote for Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS---excuse me, I mean Nancy Pelosi.

[Bok_Tukalo]

No one comes close.

Phelps.

[Karin]

Hey Godot, your Congressman Wiener's joke about the designated driver/drinking game was really lame.  Can't you do something about him?

Karin, have mercy--I'm Godot, not God.

You have no idea how much that "your Congressman" stings. Ouch!

My apologies to the nation. NY's 9th is mainly insane. Hell, ALL of NYC's Congressional districts are mainly insane (with the notable exception of NY 3rd).

[Eupher]

In terms of overall negative impact and disservice to the Nation, not to mention just being plain ol' infuriating, Nazi Pelosi gets my overall vote.

We are in a new era now---time to start at this early date the AAH of this new year.

For some reason I believe the Governor of Maine will make the finals.   Not only is he French Canadian, American, but he speaks his mind until his advisers put duct tape on his mouth and throw him into a closet.

For those who missed it, the Governor of Maine refuses to attend any rally for special interests groups.  This spunky little French man said he was not going to a rally for MLK day.

What a mess that brought on, The Governor said that was his right to decide and anyone that thought different could ""Kiss MY Ass""

Damn those French men that think for themselves.   

After the State Police came in and freed him from the closet and removed the duck tape on his mouth, he caved in, went against his principles and not only attended the rally but danced with a woman of color.

Instead of the back lash that was expected, the people of Maine where 1/2  have French blood, cheered him on and find him a breath of fresh air.

Just a start on these AAH for this year, sure to be much more in the next 12 months.

With posts like this being demonstrative of assholishness to levels pretty much unknown to Mankind, let me nominate vesta for American Asshole of the Year - Subcategory Loony Bin
