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.
AdBotI 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.

bobbolinkPoor, 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.

Bashing Hillary for not conceding gracefully enoughPassionately supporting the Big ZeroBashing Hillary protestors of the Magic NegroPrimary Obama/Hillary bickeringkpeteThe 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!â€
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 Katrinaâ€
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 RemovedLikely 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 Removedâ€, but by definition, they’ve all been flushed.
Nance GreggsBloviating 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.
RedstoneI 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 TomInTibTemper tantrum from RedstoneRedstone realizes he is a loserunderground pantherSomeone 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 catUP is androgynousSubway cat and food linesUP explains sexWiley50Yet 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.

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 PittAn 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!
