Gold: Glenn Beck. As is usual it is Beck’s own words which have placed him here at the head of the Golden Group W Bench. Having lost so many sponsors, one would think that it would take a very short time for Beck’s crackerjack research staff – assuming they exist, to realize that one faithful sponsor alone, disproves and completely contradicts his recent ‘Hitler Youth’ claims in a big way.
Silver: Michele and Marcus Bachmann are just the kind of people that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were created to serve. The programs were created for those who cannot afford to pay cash for a $417 thousand dollar home on a golf course without touching their other assets. Actually, I was under the misguided impression that the programs focused strongly on affordable loans for first time home buyers. In any case, it’s not nice to blow up the bridge to home ownership once you’ve got yours!
Bronze: We owe our questionable title to the Detroit Tigers and the Seattle Mariners who both have colorfully named players to trade – pray, what were you thinking?
