I report, you decide.

:)

I think we can all agree on their choice for #1.

[Quixote1818]

1. Him and Joe Lieberman should be tied for #1 .nt

[FarPoint]

15. That cartoon pic

was absolutely accurate for Lieberman. We should all mail him a copy.

[Yurovsky]

2. Thanks... #7 is a POS as well...

and w/o #7 we'd have never heard of #1...

3. I read it here on Friday morning and it got 33 Recs:

4. Bookmarking to read all but

I think I hate Cheney more than Beck. One is a buffoon but the other is a war criminal.

5. 35. Teabaggers They pegged them to perfection! This is classic!

35. Teabaggers
Charges: America’s dumbest and most racist citizens finally found a cause they could all get behind that isn’t pro wrestling or NASCAR. The Lolcats of protest sign grammar, they think scare quotes actually make things scary (e.g. ‘Obama is a “communist”’). They don’t understand that they’re duped showpieces for billionaires who threaten their freedom and prosperity far more than their beloved nemesis, Big Gubmint. And their instant escalation from complacent couch potatoes to rhetorical revolutionaries just happened to coincide with the election of a black Democrat with the middle name Hussein. What are the chances?
Exhibit A: They called it Teabagging first.
Sentence: To star in an extremely patriotic, live ammunition reenactment the Battle of Bunker hill.

19. "The Lolcats of protest sign grammar"

That line just lays me out! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

6. Thanks-I needed this today

The "winners" should all get a copy.

[uppityperson]

7. I like how they included "you" as well as Pres Obama.

Some I agree with though

[Quixote1818]

8. You just beat me to the one on "You". It's brilliant! Here is is:

26. You
Charges: Based solely on Fox News and cartoon depictions of evil scientists, you think “Climategate” is a real controversy that somehow affects the truth of global warming. You think science is just another religion. You think Dan Brown writes nonfiction. You want the government to get its hands out of your Medicare. You think Dr. Oz can heal you with his palms. You believe in horoscopes. You bought a Snuggie. You’re suddenly outraged by government malfeasance because because a black guy got elected, or you refuse to be outraged by government malfeasance, because you don’t want to come across as racist. You think Avatar was either the worst or best film ever and you have film chops to describe why, yet you know fuck all about how the real world works, because you’re too busy satiating yourself with junk food, internet porn and “reality” HDTV to care. It took a fucking Underwear Bomber for you to learn about Yemen. You’re proud of your ignorance and proud of that too. In other words, you suck, you know it, and your every word is a sad and futile attempt to deny it.
Exhibit A: Glenn Beck.
Sentence: Glenn Beck.

11. They always have "You" on the list

They always describe Idiot America using the current events. This year, they described them perfectly.

[devilgrrl]

20. they sure as heck weren't referring to me.

I don't qualify for anything written for "you"

a snuggie? Come off of it!

[Terra Alta]

9. What? No Dumbya?

I guess he has been relegated to the heaps of obscurity now...

Darth Cheney should have been tied for #1, though.

[npk]

25. It was only for 2009. Bushy got saved by the year. n/t

[rrneck]

10. Thanks! I look forward to this every year. nt

[tallahasseedem]

12. This is hilarious!

Thank you for the link! :)

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. Oh hell yeah I agree

Great list.

[Number23]

14. The tendencies of #36 have become so commonplace. For some reason, every black person's criticism

of Obama takes center stage now, no matter how mild, how untrue or idiotic it may be.

When these same black folks criticized other politicians, no one gave them the time of day. But every syllable uttered against Obama becomes the new "cause celebre" around here. It's really quite transparent and pitiful.

And I predict that picture of Joe Lieberman in #30 will haunt my nightmares for days to come.

Edit: Unable to rec because of #27 but it's still a good read and a good list.

16. LOLORLY!

[AwakeAtLast]

17. I think the site is down

I got an error for the page. I'll try again later.

I think it would be hard to stop at 50. Kinda like I don't know how EarlG stops at 10. ;)

[Quantess]

18. Funny writing style. That was great.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

21. Obama is more loathsome than Joe Wilson?

I don't think so. That list was a bit hit and miss for me

[dorkulon]

24. The order is fairly arbitrary I think.

Otherwise the top 20 would be nothing but solid Republican operatives.

[WCGreen]

22. Tedious, snarky, and very predictable...

[ddeclue]

23. that was awesome. thanks!
