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.
When light passes through a prism revealing spectra colors, no one color stands out as special–anal smell permeates all of the above statements. I am somewhat of an expert on anal smells. Working as a janitor (35 years) with students in the educational institution, I for one would not want to use a bathroom cleaned by students. I’m not voting, I’m just educated!
Morning B….I understand and accept your vote…..thanx for joining in I appreciate it…..
Yep, Newt’s comments about child labor makes the top of my list too. Yet this inability to connect with most Americans still hasn’t prevented him from moving to the top of his Party’s ticket.
Larry, he should have a whole category….he is a master of anal stuff….thank you for your vote….
Crap! I forgot to put my vote in……as a history geek My favorite is #3…..
If thsi is a duplicate, my apologies. I can’t vote yet – too many fine choices need to be contemplated in all their odiferous glory. I do think you need to add Newt’s Palestinian people comment to the mix…
Hi Q…..Newt’s came after the fact it will most likely be the first one next month…..
I have heard back from my email buddies……their votes are as follows
#1–3
#4–1
#3–2
#2 – John McCain. I hope he wins because that statement was just a bag full of yuck.
Thanx for the vote Spinny…..
well guys I have to go with #1. This guy just wants to set us all back 100 years. who the hell needs child labor laws or protect the environment.
HI Sue and welcome back…thanx for the vote I should have the winner by the end of the month….thanx again.
It’s official. Politicians only speak in sound bites designed to appeal to their chosen demographic. Makes me long for the simpler days when all they did was call each others’ wives “thespians.”
Morning Thomas…nice to see you again…..we can thank the 24 hour news cycle……now I understand why the House gym is so popular….those guys need to stay in shape for the sprint to the microphones after any vote or meeting…..
I have got to go with Newt (#5) – the idea of a “a secular atheist country,” that is “dominated by radical Islamists” is too much cognitive dissonance, even for me.
THanx Q….I appreciate the participation….
I say Newt 5. Athiest and Islamic? At the same time. Haha. Honorable mention for Herman Cain “Libya…………………………silence……………….more silence……………………..”
Thanx Phillip….I was afraid you would miss the vote…thanx for the participation….
