Time to announce the winner of the 12th Annual Late H. Lee Atwater Award for Right Wing Evil
Arisen from his grave in South Cakalaka at the toll of the Halloween Midnight bell, we now present the rotting and desiccated corpse of the Late H. Lee Atwater…
"Good Eeeevenging, to those you who are still in the land of the living. Welcome to this celebration of Right Wing Eeeevil. Let's get this over with, so I can go back to rotting in my grave, shall we?
With a grand total of 28 of your votes, from my cold, dead hands, this year's recipient of the Late H. Lee Atwater Award for Right Wing Evil goes to the One and Only, Mitch "Yertle" McConnell."
"It is also my esteemed pleasure to give the award, the Fifth Annual Richard Bruce "Dick" Cheney Lifetime Achievement Award for Right Wing Evil, to Steve "America's Most Racist Congressman" King," for his life long dedication to racist Republican demagoguery.

Steve King is a virulent racist — why be surprised? He represents the current Republican Party perfectly
Not every Republican talks openly about “somebody else’s babies,” but hateful sentiments suffuse the entire GOP
Rep. Steve King is who the Republican Party actually is in 2017. No additional reminder of its character should be necessary. Yet too many people rage at individuals, groups and a political party that are truly beneath condemnation.
On Sunday King — who has represented northwestern Iowa in Congress since 2003 — used Twitter to send out a message of support for right-wing Dutch politician Geert Wilders and his bid to become prime minister of the Netherlands.
On Monday morning King refused to back away from this statement in an appearance on CNN's "New Day." Host Chris Cuomo tried to draw him out: "Either a Muslim American, an Italian-American, an Irish-Scotch-German-American — which is what your roots are — either those are all equal things or they are not. What is your answer?" King paused and then said, "They contribute differently to our culture and civilization."

"I will now retire once again to my clammy grave until this time next year. HAPPY HALLOWEEN, all of you breathers!"
