[upchuck]

I bet the real JKF is spinnin' in his grave.

So's Mary Jo.

[NCC-1701]

You know it. His brother is a gutless wonder who DIDN'T HAVE the courage to try and help Mary Jo K.. The nearest place to the bridge was a firestation. It wasn't that far. Of course, Swimmwer was such a plastered sot, he could barely help himself out of the water. What a P-O-S!!!!!

I bet this soldier is a sure hit with his buddies. (sarc)

The first PIC award they gave was to some local pinhead who voted to increase taxes on an already tax-burdened state, as I recall.

I must have missed it, but can anyone confirm if Linda Tripp received this award for blowing the whistle on Bill Clinton?

Now that really took some courage!

Same goes for the Mayor of Atlanta, pictured above, and former governor Jim Florio (NJ).

Apparently, it takes alot of courage to confiscate other people's money under the threat of imprisonment for non-compliance.

[Spok]

One thing you gotta give the liberals is the mastery of irony. Next thing you know, Clinton will be handing out awards for chastity.

[Minnesocold]

Kennedy is noted for celebrating milestones...

[NotSoFreeStater]

I think it was Lowell Weicker of Connecticut, another RINO Northeast Republican. JFK didn't even write "Profiles in Courage", it was Arthur Schlesinger.

"Spc. Joseph Darby was the first to report abuse at the Iraqi prison, turning over photos --"

How did Darby get the pictures - I don't remember?

[dead]

He "found" them on another soldier's camera.

An award to a fat-fink, chrome-dome sergeant based on a ghost-written book, named for a navy lt. who lost his boat--rammed by a Japanese destroyer during daylight--but then received the Navy Cross instead of a court-martial, presented by a treasonous fat tub of goo from Taxachusetts . . pausing for breath . . demo-hypocrisy on full-afterburner.
Now tell us about Lyndon's Silver Star for flying on an airplane during WWII.

[jjmcgo]

If he was ever in the water at all. In his condition, he would have drowned. The whole story is made up. He may not have even been the driver.

[Chieftain]

Awesome photoshop!

[Big Digger]

I must have missed it, but can anyone confirm if Linda Tripp received this award for blowing the whistle on Bill Clinton?

Come on, not even Monica got to blow Bill's whistle.

[randog]

Former Texas state Sen. Bill Ratliff, a former acting lieutenant governor, was honored for being the only Republican lawmaker who publicly objected to his party's 2003 redistricting plan, which critics called divisive and overly partisan.

OK, so Ratliff outed himself as dem operative....Oh, wait--this is a left wing award, isn't it?

OK, so the critics call it "divisive and overly partisan", but what to the proponents have to say about it? Oh, wait--this is a left wing news outlet, isn't it?

Carry on...

[dead]

They're does seem to be just a slight tilt to the left in that list of current and previous award winners.

In the media world, only a deviation from the mandatory leftward tilt is considered partisan, so by their reckoning, this is certainly a non-partisan award.
