As you know, it's Oscar's night, but the day belongs to the (first and last) annual Plopsters Awards™ (pending). The award that goes to the dumbest and/or most deceiving of our Politicians and Pundits.
Here is the nominee's for Best Direction of Deceit:
Nominee - Sarah Palin and her use of "Death Panels" on, of all things, her Facebook:
A brilliant scam that made use of the casual social networking site - so "it must be true", right?
Nominee - Teabagger/model/Senator Scott Brown with his claim that the stimulus is flaccid. On Feb 4 he told ABC news:
This was said with a straight face! A fabulous job of acting on his part. He'll soon be following up with his own sitcom when his stint as politician ends.
Nominee - Rudy Guiliani as told to ABC's inflatable "that's all the time we have" man, George Steponoponolosisosis:
This one may have been too over the top for our judges. But good luck, Rudy.
But the winner is:
Jay Leno and the Tonight Show Director for sweetening (adding laughter, giggling and applause) to Sarah Palin and her very lame jokes on the show.
Here's a sample of the stuff they pumped up:
Congratulations guys!! Your Plop Award is in the mail. Keep your eyes out for it.
Lastly, this year we want to pay tribute to Sen. John McCain, who has given us so many inaccurate, implausible, or downright horrifying statements; remember the woman who gets raped by the gorilla joke? There is just not enough room on the internet to name all of his faux pas', bad puns, lies or mean spirited remarks aimed at minorities, but recently he outdid himself by pointing out a letter that was supposedly signed by 1,000 “distinguished retired military leaders” who all say they oppose DADT repeal.
Opps! Seems some of the names are of dead people. And still others did not sign it at all. Shocking. I know. Here are some of the other names signed on the letter that have not been confirmed as to their accuracy:
Mike Hunt
General Peter Johnson
Mr. Dick Trickle
Amanda Lick
Major Lee Hung
Heywood Jiblomy
Edith D. Dick
Colonel M. T. Sack
Seaman Guzzler
and
Mr. Hugh Janus.
Here is the nominee's for Best Direction of Deceit:
Nominee - Sarah Palin and her use of "Death Panels" on, of all things, her Facebook:
The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's ‘death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their ‘level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.
A brilliant scam that made use of the casual social networking site - so "it must be true", right?
Nominee - Teabagger/model/Senator Scott Brown with his claim that the stimulus is flaccid. On Feb 4 he told ABC news:
The last stimulus bill didn’t create one new job, and in some states the money that was actually released hasn’t even been used yet,
This was said with a straight face! A fabulous job of acting on his part. He'll soon be following up with his own sitcom when his stint as politician ends.
Nominee - Rudy Guiliani as told to ABC's inflatable "that's all the time we have" man, George Steponoponolosisosis:
We had no domestic attacks under Bush.
This one may have been too over the top for our judges. But good luck, Rudy.
But the winner is:
Jay Leno and the Tonight Show Director for sweetening (adding laughter, giggling and applause) to Sarah Palin and her very lame jokes on the show.
Here's a sample of the stuff they pumped up:
Hello. Thank you, Jay. Thank you. I'm so happy to get to be here. This is a thrill of a lifetime really. And Alaska, being so different from Los Angeles. Here when people have a frozen look on their face, I find out it's Botox. (Laughter.)
It is so beautiful here, though, so warm and beautiful. Back home, ooh, it was freezing. It was 5 degrees below Congress' approval rating.....
Shaun White on the show. Oh, what an amazing athlete. I watched him do a double McTwist 1260, and the only other people to do a double McTwist 1260 was last week: the White House on healthcare.
