It is that time again!  It is December and I have put together what I feel are the most anal statements made by any person in the news.  I ask my readers to look over the list and vote for the one that they feel is the most anal……the one that gets the most votes will be declared the most anal statement of the year….I have my choice but this is for my readers and their vote counts as much as mine….so please check the nominees out and vote for the most anal statement and add any comment you would like……

Remember the winner will be sent an email from Info Ink to congratulate them on their win…..and will be added to the Hall Of Handy Wipes…..which include such notables as Paris Hilton (2007), Sen. John McCain (2008), Sarah Palin (2009) and a unidentified Muslim cleric in Iran (2010)…..now who will join this list of esteemed a/holes for 2011?

The nominees are…….

1–Newt Gingrich—“You have a very poor neighborhood. You have students that are required to go to school. They have no money, no habit of work,” Gingrich said. “What if you paid them in the afternoon to work? What if they became assistant janitors, and their job was to mop the floor and clean the bathroom?”

2–John McCain– when asked about the wildfires in Arizona–“substantial evidence that some of these fires have been caused by people who have crossed our border illegally.”

3–Rep.  Paul Broun of Georgia–“In fact, Franklin Delano Roosevelt sent his advisors, his close friends, his cabinet people to go visit with Stalin in communist Russia to study what he was doing, what Stalin was doing there so that FDR could replicate it here in the United States.”  (emphasis because it is such a damn lie!)

4–Karl Rove (Bush’s brain)–“American troops have never been under the formal control of another nation.  Why should we start now?”  Does this show a sad lack of knowledge or what?)

5–Newt Gingrich (again)–“I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time they’re my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American.”

Okay I lied!  I had the list of nominees done when someone just had to upset it the cart!

6–Rep. Paul Ryan–“Tax cuts were never intended to be permanent, besides they have done nothing for the economy”  (paraphrase)…..he was added because after years of championing tax cuts he has an about face when it is for the Middle Class only….anal!

Like I have said, this is for my readers to decide who the winner will be….it is my desire for my readers to become as much a part of Info Ink as the writer….so, please, look over the list and vote for the most anal statement of the year.
