Welcome to this week's DUzy Awards, honoring high hilarity, hellacious hijinks and heroic horseplay from this week on DU. Congratulations to this week's winners! The oddly respectable DUzies will be announced every Friday, if I get around to it. Previous awards can be found in my journal.
Note to Mods: Skinner has authorized the DUzy Awards to be posted in GD. Special thanks this week to Lars39, babylonsister, Buzz Clik, troubleinwinter, Kurovski, BushDespiser12, stellanoir, The Count, MsKandice01 and NanceGreggs for their invaluable assistance. OP by icymist: By the way, did you know that Imus got fired?I turned on the news last night and found out that Imus got fired! Every single story related to Imus getting fired. There was the 6.0 earthquake when Imus got fired in Mexico City. The New Jersey Governor got seriously injured in a car wreck after Imus got fired. Did you know that the Bush administration erased emails and Imus got fired? A week after Senator McCain stressed how the surge is making Iraq safe, a bomb exploded in the green zone in Baghdad and Imus got fired. There was the preacher's wife that murdered her husband and Imus got fired. What happened to Imus's hat, not to mention those tasteless bandannas, after he got fired? That terrible rapper Snoop Dog made Imus say those nasty things and then Imus got fired! The news has been canceled (again) because Imus got fired! All the reporters are acknowledging that the message is understood to their mega-corporate bosses in the propaganda ministry that Imus got fired. If you like your cushy job in the big fluffy chair you journalists better understand that Imus got fired! :sarcasm: :banghead: :argh: GD, April 13, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x649663 On a thread by bicentennial_baby: I deleted over 9,000 emails last night!No joke...That's what happens when you don't delete anything for 4 years or so... :P Only took a few hours though :crazy: Maybe someday I'll do that with my DU inbox....Oh, wait... :rofl: :hi: response #1 by Jade Fox: The Bush Administration has a job for you!Call Karl immediately. ;) The Lounge, April 14, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x6416585 On a thread by BOSSHOG: 142 years ago today, President Lincoln went to the theaterresponse #2 by TahitiNut: Too bad Chimpolini McCodpiece can't possibly sit still when someone else is on the stage.:evilgrin: response #5 by Journeyman: Most serious Lincoln scholars are in agreement. . .if the 16th President had not been assassinated that evening, he'd be dead now. response #6 by Monkeyman: History Never Changes But Boss is old enough to remember LOLresponse #9 by BOSSHOG: I was going to the play that nightbut I gave up my tickets. response #14 by Itchinjim: Didn't I read somewhere on DU that Bush 41 was in the audience....on that fateful night? response #15 by NightWatcher: yea, but he can't remember it if you ask him....kinda like Dallas, hmmmmm GD, April 14, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x653682 On a thread by SaveElmer: CBS Poll: Clinton leads Obama by 15...response #38 by Hardrada: I might go to church again if Hillary is defeated!And Edwards or Obama gets the nomination. response #39 by SaveElmer: Maybe you should go before...ntresponse #53 by Hardrada: No, I need proof of God's existence.response #9 by gulliver: She's the odds-on favorite to replace President Dean ...... in Universe 42. GDP, April 14, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3216137 On a thread by madfloridian: Christian conservatives say Dean redefining Easter by leaving out word "Jesus"response #9 by jobycom: Here, let me write the message they really wanted Dean to give.Easter is a time when we white Christian people rally around our Lord and Warrior King, Jesus Christ, and more importantly, around the truths that many of us assume are actually in the Holy Bible. On this day we reflect on how pathetic we find all non-Christians, and how non-White people by the exclusionary grace of Jesus's love can become almost as supreme as us. We ask all white American Christians to pray for God's coninued love and protection, and to give thanks to all the less desirable non-white people He has given us to fight our wars for us. We extend our warmest blessings and greetings to all of those in the world unfortunate enough to not be born white, American, Christian, conservative, and a member of our church. We close with the words of our Holy Scripture: Do what we tell you, or Jesus will kick your ass. Gospel of Ronald, 12:6.

Once they get rolling on the trials, there will be enough Repubs in jail to form their own gang. The Mexican Mafia, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Nazi Lowriders, the Texas Syndicate, and the newest gang, the 'Pub Posse. Composed entirely of soft, puffy, bombastic Republicans, the members of the 'Pub Posse will have to sleep with either their stock portfolios or Bibles duct-taped over their asses every night if they want to avoid... unpleasantness... :rofl: response #3 by whistle: I like the gang name "Re-thug Posers"response #5 by pscot: How about "The Tennis Team"n/t response #6 by Cirque du So-What: The Dead-Ender DoughboysSomebody stop me before I paint myself into an alliterative corner without the proper adverb to set me free! response #13 by hootinholler: The Back Nine Boyz? n/tGD, April 14, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x656561 On a thread by Bluebear: McCain: "I can't think of a fallback 'Plan B' if our Iraq strategy fails."response #5 by Old Crusoe: "If I don't catch any fish, there just won't be any dinner."I'm betting the farm, the acreage, the tools, the tractor, and Aunt Louise on certain victory in the Lottery."

LBN, April 15, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x2808279 OP by Lucygirl: Cheney BURPS On National Television - Face The NationAbout 20 minutes ago VP Cheney in his interview with Mr. Scheiffer let out a burp mid-sentence. Hey Fat Bastard lay off the Jimmy Dean sausage for breakfast before you do an interview. It's "irresponsible." Ever hear of Gas X? Or was that simply more hot air flying out of your mouth. I suppose he now will blame the Democrats for his burp. What a piece of work. response #3 by The Count: How did you even notice? Was it different from his other utterances? Less viciousmaybe? response #7 by JackDragna: Those weren't sausages.He ate a plateful of preschoolers for breakfast. They make one quite gassy. response #40 by wryter2000: He couldn't be much worse than BushRemember that a-hole chewing with his mouth open in Germany? I feel like I have to send apologies to whomever he visits abroad. Dear Your Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, I write to express my dismay at my "President's" behavior while visiting you recently. I hear he destroyed several of your prized rose bushes. I only hope he didn't drop any of the corgis. Please know that he's a source of deep embarrassment to all decent Americans. Please also know that there are a few of us left. Sincerely, Dear Chancellor Merkel, I have no words sufficient to express my horror after watching the buffoon who calls himself President of the United States manhandle you during his recent visit to Germany. Please consider this note my permission to go upside his head if he ever tries anything like that again. Sincerely, P.S. If you do go upside his head, please tape it so we can all watch. response #16 by SalmonChantedEvening: Cheney tried to contain the burp, but it had other priorities. :smoke: response #52 by Ghost in the Machine: He ran out of deferments? :shrug: response #59 by MetaTrope: That was John McCain's soul escapingBut I doubt it'll find its way back home.

Hee hee hee. Oh it's just so quaint and silly to pretend like the will of the people actually matters. Oh, that Dennis. Always acting as if politics is about values, when all it's really about is maintaining the status quo and rewarding the rich. He's off the record, of course. I wish that's because he's ashamed of himself, but it's more likely that he just got himself a great line to use to pick up really hot babes on the DC cocktail circuit. And there are those who wonder why I'm so cynical about national politics. Of course, there are also those who think Orlando Florida is a Dominican baseball player. response #65 by dchill: "Orlando Florida"He's really Cuban, right? response #69 by warren pease: Well, we don't want word to get out...... since people are still pretty bigoted against ball players from that hell hole of communist perversity and oppression. I mean, free education and health care -- so unamerican. So he passes as a Dominican. I trust you'll keep this quiet.
