Gold Prison Bar Award: Michael P.Leahy, co-founder of the Tea Party Coalition wins the dubious honors. I assume from the report in Teablogging.com that he may not have had the “everyman” in mind when creating the movement. He owes 0,000 in unpaid taxes, small claims court judgments, and civil suits over the past 16 years. It appears the grass roots movement is over, being taken over by Governors Perry and Sanford, perhaps just in time. The IRS generally isn’t this patient about collecting.
Silver: Glenn Beck: You saw it here first folks. Beck’s toxic emission!
Bronze: To Bill O’Reilly, of course. Riding the peace train, he lectures on the development of hate and talk programs with a list of networks and names, ending with President Obama branding Republicans with fanaticism….no quote of course. The verbal tour also lacked some current icons of hate talk…perhaps it was modesty?
