While I could award this to the Potters for their lousy handling of contract-gate and the ethical questions it has raised, enough is being said about it on another thread.
So, in preparation for this weekend’s public teabagging event on the National Mall, today’s winner is Glenn Beck. Not for organizing his rally to self-aggrandizement, but for his ad promoting it where he compares himself to Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King, Jr, and Frederick Douglas, to name a few.
Seriously, the only people he should be comparing himself to are P.T. Barnum (because he sure has suckered a lot of people) or Joseph Goebbels. I’m not saying Beck is a Nazi, but he emulates everything that Goebbels did in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
