The bronze -- Billo is slipping.

Only gets in here by sharing the medal with Ex-Comedian Dennis Miller.

Poor Dennis: he had to be the straight man, feeding Orally the question 'didn't Hillary Clinton not even attend one 9/11 memorial service?"

Billo, of course, replied "that is correct."

Well it isn't. Even one of the Senator's sleaziest critics said, in November 2001, that she quote "attended... three highly publicized memorial services."

The critic who said that? The critic who O'Reilly just contradicted?

Bill O'Reilly.

Runner-up: our pal Sean Hannity...

Calling Al Gore a "hypocrite" about global warming, and now asking his viewers to send any photos they have of the former Vice President flying on private jets.

Yeah, he flies private jets all the time. That's why he was second-searched coming and going, on a commercial round-trip from Washington to Wisconsin, barely a year after he left office.


But tonight's winner: Congressman Don Young of Alaska.

Remember that quote in the Moonie paper in Washington, falsely attributed to Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, but actually made up -- by his own admisson -- by a Conservative writer in 2003?

You know, the one about arresting or hanging or exiling Congressmen who undermine the military during a war?

Like dozens of Right Wing Water Carriers, Representative Young also didn't bother checking to see if Lincoln ever said it... which he didn't...

He simply repeated it on the floor of the House!

The fake Lincoln quote is now in the Congressional Record.

Hey -- Representative Young? What if I told you Linclon once suggested exiling or arresting Congressmen who lied on duty?

Congressman Don Young of Alaska... today's Worst Person In The World!

:rofl:

1. If Lincoln wasn't spinning in his grave before now....
sigh. Well, maybe this will make conservative Lincoln scholars wake up and smell the bulls***t that the publicans are spewing out.
