Gold: Michael Steele basks in this well-earned Worst Person award. It would seem to most that a film called “Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month” would include such worthies as the first Hispanic Supreme Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor, Ceasar Chavez, influential labor leader, and former Rep.Senator Mel Martinez. The grudges of Steele and the far right are long reaching, and oblivious to their own petty absurdity. At least there is some comic relief for Spanish speaking Americans, when reading Steele’s press release – you must see to believe!
Silver: I have a little dispute as to the true winner of the award, and feel it may need to be a tie. In Countdown, it is Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari, a/k/a “Michael Mixon,” who is facing 25 years in prison for facilitating the transfer of $152,000 with the intention that it be used in Afghanistan and Pakistan to help in training camps, and of course we aren’t speaking of Boy Scouts. There wasn’t much
of a flap made when this was first discovered by Homeland Security under the Bush Administration in 2007. You see, he was already part of the Ntl. Rep. Senatorial Committee’s “Inner Circle for Life,” having donated twenty thousand to them, and a generous amount to their Congressional Committee as well! It is unclear as to whether police were given the information already known by Homeland Security to
use in their investigation, when they finally arrested him!
Bronze: Appropriate, it’s heavy and dull, and so is Rush Limbaugh. Today he was holding forth on one of his favorite topics. Do listen to today’s tale from the Rushmonster. It’s the tale of school czars in general, and one specifically named Kevin Jennings who was a school counselor fifteen years ago. Rush is revealing nothing that Jennings hasn’t already, and once again he has made a mountain out of a mole hill. There are no under age children, and no “promotion or facilitating” of ‘alternate sexuality’, as described by Carrie Prejean, and as Uncle Rush would wish for you to think. Does anyone else wonder why he protests so very much, and so often on this topic? Apologies to the rainbow community, I don’t wish him upon you, merely observing.
