Golden Gaffe: The initials GOP. Vanity Fair asked Republicans what the three letters represent. They didn’t ask Democrats or Independents. Nor did they quiz people who have little interest in politics. Vanity Fair asked those who proudly proclaim membership in the GOP. For a bit of tame shock and awe, see what some Republicans believe their ‘call letters’ mean! Five percent come close, with ‘Grumpy Old People’ – but no cigar. As usual, you can’t make this stuff up.
Silver Slobotomy: Hank Williams Jr. Having found his own level on Fox & Friends. Junior then went on to prove that alcohol can kill off far too many brain cells. Combine brain damage with bashing Obama in an effort to revive a flailing career and he’s in deep water. For the silver grand prize, just how many Stooges were there? Shhh…Don’t give ‘ol’ Hank any clues!
Bronze Obvlion Award: Mayor Michael Bloomberg. In this piece he proves what a man of the people he is. I now have much more empathy for the Wall Street elite who sat on balconies, sipping champagne, and uttering derisive comments to the protestors! Bloomberg has set me straight about what regular folks they are, struggling from paycheck to paycheck. Not only are corporations people too, according to Mitt – but banks need our (further) help too, says Bloomberg. Oddly, he didn’t mention people who have been thrown out of their homes, although they have made their payments on time and in full.
