Today marks the inauguration of an award we will give periodically to someone who has demonstrated an inability or unwillingness to distinguish between a light at the end of the tunnel and an onrushing locomotive: The "Woo-wooooooo" Award.
We were about to give it to Ken "The Rain Stays Mainly in My Brain" Spain for his brave but ludicrous analysis of this past Saturday's special election in Louisiana (see below). But, at the last minute, we have a new winner: Vice Preznit "Dead Eye" Dick Cheney. Dead Eye gets the coveted award for the following statement, made May 2 in Tulsa, OK (h/t to Daily Kos):
"And when the history is written, it'll be said that we lived in a safer country, and a more hopeful world, because George Bush was President of these United States."
Come on! Let's hear it now: Woo-wooooooo!!!
