No doubt if Carter won one of those, it would meet the same fate as those hellicopters in Iran.

Another party complaining about its failure to win the award was the House Republican Leadership. "I believe our willingness to abandon all our principles, give up on all our reform efforts and spend money like drunken Democrats should have been given greater consideration," said Tom Delay, former House Majority Whip and a wonderful comedian in his own right.

I thought House Republican Leadership won the Annual "Spine like a Jellyfish" award this year.

Can they win both?

Shouldn't this award go to someone who is intentionally trying to be funny? I must admit I find most things Carter says laughable, but that's not satire.

And Carter does deserve a good horse laugh, but he's a very dangerous and harmful man for anyone who cares about freedom and justice. He's so muddle-minded that he cannot tell victims from bullies; he never has been able to and he always saw the betrayal of friends as a courageous act. He's a deeply flawed man.
