Gold: Glenn Beck wins the gold in what is a hotly contested "Worst Person in the World" today. Seeking to inspire his Teabagger pals, Beck tipped the "Worst" scales when comparing himself to such galvanizing proponents of peace and equality as Mahatma Gandhi and Rosa Parks. Beck invoked the names in an attempt to inspire the masses of his faithful to action.
Speechless, I leave you with the visual image of Gandhi and Parks on a bus, Beck seated between them. The two proponents of peace and non-violence, while pushed to the limit, might well share a roll of duct tape in an effort to hush Beck.
Silver: Rush Limbaugh lives in "Worst Person." We’re treated to the inciteful (spelling intentional) reportage which has his listeners convinced he is the true messiah of all things anti-government. Was Rush a victim of the "New Math" when he was a nipper? The below average job figures have taken an upward leap which assuredly cannot be attributed to either census hires or a new fast food franchise in the great fibbulator’s neighborhood.
Bronze: John Avlon, new hire of CNN. In Avlon’s "Wingnuts of the week" he attempts to draw a parallel between groups such as Code Pink, a non-violent left wing group which tried to arrest Karl Rove utilizing a citizen’s arrest, and the dangerous, seditious militia Hutaree! Perhaps CNN is bringing wing-nuts aboard in an attempt to neutralize very real charges against the worst of the worst, and agree with such bonafide wingnuts as Michele Bachmann, who claim that one side is as bad as the other?
