The 2000s have been a decade rich in conservafoolery.
The '80s had Reaganomics. The '90s had the totalitarian fascism of the Contract With America. But the first decade of the 21st century outdid it all!
Who's the cream of the crap for the past 10 years? Well, here's a Shadoe Stevens-style countdown of the top 10 contenders for this decade's dubious award:
10) PHIL GRAMM. One of the biggest rank assholes of the '90s served in the Senate until 2002. Gramm earns a spot in this decade's top 10 because he said the American people are "whiners" because they worry about the recession.
9) ERNIE FLETCHER. The career of the former Kentucky governor fell down and went boom after a corruption scandal.
8) ALBERTO GONZALES. The man who thinks habeas corpus is a hoax.
7) GLENN BECK. This is the loudmouth who kept getting rewarded with more lucrative talk show deals every time he threatened to assassinate someone. Some "liberal media", huh?
6) WILLIAM KRISTOL. The Man Who's Wrong About Everything! Didn't Kristol advocate giving Bush the Nobel Peace Prize?
5) JIM BUNNING. You know, even with the media in the condition it's in, I'd still expect it to at least investigate Bunning making money from his "nonprofit" foundation.
4) DICK CHENEY. Only in Bizarro World can you shoot someone in the face and then force him to apologize to you, instead of the other way around.
3) SARAH PALIN. You're already on track to be #1 for the '10s, S.P. (And yes, I'm fully aware Palin has almost no chance of being elected President.)
2) ANN COULTER. Because libraries are a terrible thing to waste. Oh, and did I mention the vote fraud investigations?
1) If you need to ask who the Conservative Fool Of The Decade is, you haven't read my writings in 10 years.
Any questions or additions? This blog has a comment feature, ya know.

Good choices all, but they seem to be mostly from the latter half of the decade (except for number 10)...
ReplyDeleteThere were some really bad ones in the earlier half that aren't on this list.
Mark Foley also deserves a spot.
The era from 2001 through 2004 was the height of fascism in America. Starting in 2005 though, they started coming apart at the seams.
ReplyDeleteYour list missed John McCain...though his idiocy didn't reach full bloom until '08.
ReplyDeleteOne big name who should be on your list: Michelle Malkin.
Good list, John Boehner would have been a good addition.
ReplyDeleteThe three R's: Rumsfeld...Rove...Rice...
Hannity...Limbaugh...Weiner...and all of the other right wing blabbermouths that seem to be able to pick apart the Obama administration but couldn't seem to find fault with the Bush de-ministration...Hmmmmm...???
And I don't even know the ditzy pundit chicks on faux news that can't seem to understand one point of view fed to them at a time.
To be fair, some of the democratic party's backers are starting to get just as stupid as the republicans. But maybe the intelligence level of the country is on such low of a level that it might be a good move politically.
