Title: American Asshole of the Year
Post by: Ptarmigan on December 27, 2012, 07:38:42 PM
This thread is for reaching a CC consensus on who deserves the title "American Asshole of the Year". The person selected must be an American. Here are my nominations.
Adam Lanza
James Holmes
Jerry Sandusky

Perhaps a sentence of two as to their qualifications would be appropriate.

If I didn't think I'd be hit with the backsplatter, I'd slap the title on SloJoe Biden.

Let me propose a couple of sub-categories:

For AAH of the Year, Category "Certifiable Creep" - Jerry Sandusky, hands down

For AAH of the Year, Category "Political Turd" - Slo Joe

For AAH of the Year, Category "Incompetence Personified" - John Boehner

For AAH of the Year, Category "Evil Incarnate" - Adam Lanza

For AAH of the Year, Category "Skidmark" - Julian Assange (although he gets street cred for making a laughingstock out of most of the western powers in his ducking various charges levied against him)

For AAH of the Year, Category "Political Hack and Shuck 'n Jiver" - Hillary Rodham Clinton for Benghazi. Honorable Mention to Eric Holder for F&F

+1 on that.

I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned Michael "Nanny State" Bloomberg yet.

He qualifies, but obliquely, as his damage and chicanery is pretty much confined to NYC.

I would disagree--look at what he's done in the name of gun control.  He's sent agents as far as AZ.

Talk about 1--an asshole, 2--an overreaching one.

Adam Lanza's insanity will likely completely overshadow anything Bloomie will have done in the name of gun control. But whatever - I'll agree Bloomie's an asshole, but not to AAH of the Year level.

 :thatsright: Good point. I'd forgotten that. Substitute Manning for Assange, perhaps.

I don't think Piers Morgan qualifies - thank God - but I'm pretty sure Chrissy Matthews and Ray MadCow are fair game.  I'd be careful though; SE Cupp goes on MSNBC frequently enough to almost be considered employed by 'em.

I think S E Cupp is a regular on The Cycle.
