Ultimate Wingnut Finalists
From "world of crap" blog, the top 5 for the coveted "wingnut" title!




Based on your votes, here are your finalists for the coveted title of "Ultimate Wingnut of 2005."







As you will recall, the big news back in December of 2004 was "TIME NAMES ‘POWER LINE’ 2004 BLOG OF THE YEAR." It's been pretty much down hill ever since for Mr. Hindrocket.

We could give you instances of laughable stupidity on his part, but there's no point, since any given post by him will be, in all probability, pretty danged stupid. (You'll note that Time didn't give out a "Blog of the Year" award this year -- I think the reason why is pretty obvious.)

So, let's just discuss the reasons why I think John might qualify as an Ultimate Wingnut:

On March 21, John tried to recapture the glory days of kerning and fonts by casting doubt on the "Terri Schiavo talking points memo" (that memo told the Republican faithful how they could exploit Terri's death for political purposes). In an entry titled "Is This the Biggest Hoax Since the Sixty Minutes Story?," John said:

Based on the fragments from the memo that were reported by the Post, I question its authenticity. It does not sound like something written by a conservative; it sounds like a liberal fantasy of how conservatives talk.

1. That's hysterical!
Oh, and John, I think the way that conservatives talk is to say things like "We have to get the whackos out to the polls" or something like that. Isn't that what Scanlon and Abramoff said?

already, but it was tough. Right after that, I came across Coulter's vile tripe on Kwanzaa and Dr. Mike Adam's insanity on marriage. I love World O'Crap.

on edit: This is a poll where no matter what the outcome, we win.
