DC Chapter of Free Republic ^ | April 22, 2003 | Angelwood

[Valin]

So many idiots...so little time.
After much thought..Hey I'm not going to kid you I've lost a lot of sleep over this vote. I'm going to vote for David Hackworth. Why? Because of all the candidate he should know better.

I'd also like to nomanate Howard Dean for moral midget of the year for his comments
Wolf Blitzed: But aren't the people of Iraq so much better off now with Saddam Hussein on their back?

Dean: We don't know that yet. We don't know that yet Wolf.

WHITE SMOKE ALERT!

The Valentine brothers have narrowed the field to those who claim to "report" the news and do not have to defend their editorial comments in public.

The Valentine brothers chose:

LeslieStahlRWApplePeterArnettMichaelDHigginsEasonJordanandCNNKatieCouricEricMargolisTedRallEricAlterman

We write in Mike Tabbi for saying on NBC Nightly News that Saddam was a feminist pioneer in the Middle East since “his secular government also gave women more rights than their counterparts in many other Islamic countries” as reported by the Media Research Center.

Yes, please count it as a vote! Those are the two names I strongly hope make it.

[Angelwood]

Whew -- now, do I count these names one time or two. Once for the both of you or twice for each of you?

[Exit148]

What was the rush? You still had 15 minutes?

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

See your post #218. We were under a lot of pressure from the DC Chapter wymmin folk.

[Angelwood]

Tick Tock, Tick Tock
Time Ran Out the Clock
The Voting is Officially Done
Now It's Time to See Who Won!

So, I'm a terrible poet! Back at ya later with the results!

[Exit148]

"We were under a lot of pressure from the DC Chapter wymmin folk."

HeeHee! "wymmin power"! Just how far along do you think you'd be if they didn't put the pressure on??! LOL!

I must say that you guys put a lot of thought into your selections. The long deliberations, working into the night, endless discussions and comparisons, and except for that little snack you had for breakfast -- very little time for food,----it all paid off.

Congrats are at hand! (clap,clap,clap)

[Exit148]

Eagerly awaiting the results.

By the way, your list was excellent, and a good reference to refer to for time to come.

All entries should 'eat crow', get Freeped, and made to regret their words whenever possible.

As we wait, I'm sure we all wonder how many of our choices actually made the top ten.

[onehipdad]

Thanks Angelwood, for putting this altogether - it's truly nauseating to read all at once.

My list is composed in order of most prominent, powerful and/or influential people who used their positions to attack, demean and undermine our President, troops and country:

George Galloway
Jacque Chirac
Jean Chretien
Eason Jordan
Peter Arnett
Robert Byrd
Tom Daschle
Joe Biden
John Conyers
Jim McDermott

Celebrities? Screw 'em, their ignorance is understandable.

[hoosiermama]

When will we know the results?---BUMP

[wise counsel]

Making this choice was harder than a college exam!! They are all so AWFUL, but how about these:
1. Peter Arnett
2. Eason Jordan & CNN
3. Helen Thomas (gag!)
4. Michael Moore
5. Susan Sarandon
6. Tim Robbins
7. Nancy Pelosi
8. Tom Daschle
9. Martin Sheen
10. Bill Clinton

[Exit148]

Can hardly wait BUMP

[tgslTakoma]

Somebody make an announcement ASAP, please. I need to get folks' names on the platters of crow, before call calls me out this evening.

P.S. I picked up some appropriate condiments and garnish, and a beverage to accompany the "meal." Does anyone have any of those cheap plastic wine glasses laying around their house gathering dust? I'd rather not bring my real stemware for this shindig.

[Exit148]

'Glasses' coming up!

They are champagne style --- the flatish round ones, not the tall flutes, but they will accept the finest wine or champagne you wish to serve ---- just not French! (or German or Russian ?wine?)

I could also bring colored water that we could muddy up a bit ---goes well with 'crow'!

[Angelwood]

Sending winning names and order to you by freepmail. Still discussing when and how to unveil the winners of the Garafalos.

[daughterofTGSL]

Mom's snoozing right now, she's on call tonight. She wanted me to let you know the glasses should be plastic because people might "get mad and throw their drinks." Angelwood, Mom wanted me to let you know that she'll get to the list of winners soon, but she's in bed right now catching up on some lost sleep.

[Exit148]

I should have said:

"Plastic glasses coming up!"

If people get mad and throw their drink, then we can be assured the special 'crow award' vote was on target ----"Histrionics" at its best! LOL!

[Angelwood]

Thanks, daughterofTGSL. Let your Mom sleep -- she needs her rest since she's on call tonight and tomorrow will be a fun-filled but tiring evening. I'm making signs. See you tomorrow.
