Gold: Roger Williams of Texas, AKA The Jackass Whisperer, is taking an unusual approach in his campaign for a Congressional seat. He is trying out his anti-Obama, anti-(wealthy) American message on another crowd of ingrates who could not care less. It’s a pity he couldn’t round up a herd of elephants, I doubt they would take his blather with as much equanimity, despite the symbolism.
Silver: Senator John McCain of Arizona, where fire ravaged 35 thousand acres last May. In the fever and excitement of blaming illegal aliens for everything from wild fires to windstorms, Maverick McCain convicted the culprits – or their ilk on the spot. Today we have an indictment on the pair who started the blaze, whatever will McCain say about ‘those’ people?
Bronze: Fox News beat a snide Michelle Malkin for the bottom of the heap prize. She is extremely snide, it might be noted. In our time of need, Fox reassured everyone that previously impossible and unprecedented tsunami activity was not likely to occur after the minor earthquake yesterday. Urgent reports such as these are particularly handy when Fox is reluctant to discuss the other news of the day – I believe something or other was going on in Libya, but inland tsunamis are much closer to home.
