Gold Worst Person Award: Hate spewing right-wing radio jock Michael Savage wants off of the British banned entry list which is reserved for “hate promoters.” He fits the description. Britain’s Home Secretary Jacqui Smith published a list because “potential visitors ought to be aware of what British society considers acceptable behavior.” While it is delicious irony that he must call on the State Department, after calling our new Secretary of State everything from “Godless to responsible for the death of JFK Jr.” perhaps it’s time that Hillary says no. After all, do we need Michael Savage as an informal ambassador to Britain?
It says something very unsavory about America when Savage, banned in Britain for hate, is awarded a pulpit to broadcast that hatred in this country. Besides a mixed bag from other countries, there were two more denied entry. The Westboro
Baptist Church,Fred Phelps and daughter Shirley Phelps-Roper,infamous for bringing the kids and making a day of shouting homosexual slurs,and “Thank God for dead soldiers” at the funerals of homosexual soldiers killed in Iraq.
Perhaps it’s time we decided what was “acceptable behavior” and thank Britain for setting the standard, even though it means we have Savage back.
Silver: It wouldn’t be “Worst” without O’Reilly. I’m sorry folks, it’s too late. It was bad enough that esteemed George Washington University had become a bastion of far left wing thinking. Now we all know that it has gone over to – The Dark
Side! They do say truth and crucifixes scare blood sucking vampires. Mayhap Bill was afraid of the former.
Bronze Bug-B-Gone: To Drudge report. Let’s just say that it took the U.S. Attny’s Office in Massachusetts to find very malicious bugs indeed! They’re so nasty, officers were told only to log on using their own personal computers.
