I had some trouble finding quotes for some nominees. If anyone has a better or more outrageous quote (and documentation), please post it.

Don't forget to vote for Janeane Garofalo -- we wouldn't want her to be left out of the Garofalo Awards! FReep On, Everyone!

[DougF]

Where do we vote? Here on the thread?

[Arkinsaw]

WHERE IS FISK?!!?!

Galloway ping

[HAL9000]

awarded to prominent individuals in the media and elsewhere whose histrionic predictions of doom and gloom before and/or during Operation Iraqi Freedom stand head and shoulders above all others for their shrillness, certainty, and apocalyptic ravings.

Where is Baghdad Bob?

"Please choose your Top Ten Nominees for the Garofalo Award."

First of all, let me say they are all bad. Very bad. Some I just couldn't bring myself to vote for either because they get enough attention on their own, or I just really really don't like them.

So, if I am to pick 10 of them as I understand the instructions, my "Dirty Ten" are (in no particular order):

garafalo

stahl

couric

clooney

gere

matthews

hackworth

byrd

clark

farrell

Really, I hope they all lose.

[joesnuffy]

Hillary Clinton
the others at least are all delusional
Hill knows the truth and prefers the lie...she held her piece knowing the truth..
she will be back with a vengence...
making her the ultimate Giraffalo imo

[gfmsl]

I vote for that simpleton Garofalo. I hurl chunks just thinking about her.
ps: Great compelation of quotes!

[Lady Eileen]

Janeane Garofalo,Peter Arnett ,Susan Sarandon,Tim Robbins,Helen Thomas,Nicholas DeGenova,Nicholas DeGenova,Martin Sheen,Mike Farrell.....not on the list (please add)Dixie Chicks.

[L_Von_Mises]

My votes go to those whose comments fit best the criteria laid out: The Garofalo--ready-to-eat stuffed crows on a platter--will be awarded to prominent individuals in the media and elsewhere whose histrionic predictions of doom and gloom before and/or during Operation Iraqi Freedom stand head and shoulders above all others for their shrillness, certainty, and apocalyptic ravings.

Leslie Stahl
R.W. Apple
Peter Arnett
David Hackworth
Simon Jenkins
Edward Said
Michael D. Higgins
Scott Ritter
Wesley Clark
Eric Margolis

The above are in the order they appear in the post.

The other nominees were equally revolting but tended to focus more on an anti-Bush mentality rather than on tactics or predictions of outcome. In fact most of the others conceded the fact that we would win (in some cases easily) but put us at moral equivalence to Saddam. IMHO, there could be another whole contest for the most ant-American, anti-Bush commentator.

Choices, choices...
in no particular order:
1) Janeane Garofalo
2) Chris Matthews
3) Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf
4) Peter Arnett
5) David Hackworth
6) Gary Camilla
7) Scott Ritter
8) Wesley Clark
9) Eric Margolis
10) Ted Rall
Good luck to the judges!

[ladyinred]

This is tough, there are many who deserve this award, however here are my choices:

Gary Camilla of Salon.com--the worst of all of them by far.
Nicholas DeGenova
Peter Arnett
Charles Rangel
Chris Matthews
George Galloway
Eason Jordan and CNN
Scott Ritter
Helen Thomas
Michael Moore

[Slings and Arrows]

In no particular order:

Janeane Garofalo

Medea Benjamin

Nancy Pelosi

Eason Jordan and CNN

Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders

Scott Ritter

Michael Moore

Nicholas DeGenova

Mike Farrell

Bill Clinton

I respectfully suggest, though, that Baghdad Bob be removed from consideration. Unlike the other nominees, there is absolutely no evidence that Baghdad Bob believed the nonsense he was spewing.

[clintonh8r]

Geezis, it's depressing (I'm saddened, saddened) knowing there are so many assholes around. How could anyone possibly decide which one to vote for? I'd just like to get 'em all in a room together....

[Brad’s Gramma]

This is NOT easy! Again, not necessarily in this order as they're all very dangerous people:

1. Clinton
2. Clinton (the lovely & gracious Mrs.)
3. CNN
4. Garofalo
5. Chris Matthews
6. Pelosi
7. Hackworth
8. Tim Robbins
9. Michael Moore
10. John Conyers

[cuz_it_aint_their_money]

1. Janeane Garofalo
2. Chris Matthews
3. Medea Benjamin
4. Peter Arnett
5. Scott Ritter
6. Michael Moore
7. Katie Couric
8. George Clooney
9. Susan Robbins/Tim Sarandon (Aren’t they one and the same?)
10. Slick Willie

[Timeout]

Nancy Pelosi
Wesley Clark
Bill Clinton
Janeane Garafalo
Scott Ritter
David Hackworth
Michael Moore
Conventional Wisdom/Newsweek
Mike Farrell
Tim Robbins

First, let me say:
I am deeply troubled that this forum has failed so miserably at nominations that Little Tommy Daschole was not on the final list of nominees.

My Picks:
Nancy Pelosi
Charles Rangel
Peter Arnett
John Conyers
Senator Robert K. Byrd
Scott Ritter

In my opinion, Ramsey Clark does not qualify for an award unless it can be granted posthumously as he is dancing at the end of a rope. This piece of clinton should be tried and hanged, with all due speed, for treason.

I refuse to nominate any celebrities (except Arnett) including GaraFOOLo – because I do not want to contribute to their status in the al-Asqhole Martyrs Brigade. IOW, I am not going to give them what they want, which is attention of any sort.

As I posted on another thread--
Here's my current theory:

I am convinced that Popeyes Sarandon and Mr. Popeyes are working very hard to best Martin Sheen in the al-Asqhole Martyrs Brigade of Those Who Are (claiming to be) Blacklisted. (Remember that Sheen claimed that NBC was trying to silence him.) After the Popeyes have documented enough ink against them for their anti-American rants, they will make a film about their victimization.

I vote we ignore all of the Hollywoodies now.
