Shithead of 2009
Winner: Senator Joe Lieberman
2009 showed Joe Lieberman as a political traitor and a vindictive rubber lipped whining creep. Not to mention his decade long NeoCon support of the Iraq War, expanding the Afghanistan war, pounding for war in Iran and just the other day promoting a fourth war with Yemen.
The man is so profoundly disgusting on every level that the word "Shithead" if far too kind.
By threatening to LEAD the Republican filibuster against health care reform, Joe Lieberman is more responsible than anyone for removing the public option and then opposing the Medicare Buy-in compromise – which he had just 3 months earlier promoted.
Droopy Dog Lieberman is a very small man who after being knocked out of the 2006 Democratic Primary in Connecticut and managing to get re elected as an Independent, has based his politics on not only his passion to take revenge on Democrats but his overwhelming hatred of Muslims.
Of course it is not TOTALLY about his small minded vindictive nature, but also that Hartford, Connecticut just happens to be the insurance capital of America.
Joe Lieberman is a vindictive political traitor to the people of Connecticut, the historical figure who will be remembered for taking any meaning out of health care reform, and above all a rabid Neo Con who cheered Bush/Cheney into Iraq, is in the pocket of the Right-wing Israeli Likud, is a traitor to the people of Connecticut, and should be sent off to WingWangPoo to bring in Bin Laden. And take William Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz and Scooter Libby with him, and not come back until they have him.
Runner up: Glenn Beck
In a year end poll, Glenn Beck beat out the Pope as the 4th most respected man to Americans. He is the public face of the Tea Parties, he calls our black President a racist, he cries on the air and is easily the most mentally unstable right-wing lunatic we have ever had the pleasure of enjoying on tv.
One could go on and on and on about this nitwit, but it it may be easier to just watch the 1976 classic movie NETWORK to understand that FOX NEWS can make big bucks putting someone on the air who is only a shot away from the Funny Farm.
The other choice for this award was of course Sarah Palin. Americans voted her the most respected woman in the world, a tie with Hillary Clinton. I gave it to Beck figuring President Palin is sure to win top honors in years to come.
