Welcome to the DUzy Awards, honoring tremendous tomfoolery, terrific tantrums and tempestuous tee-hees from this week on DU. Congratulations to this week's winners!
The embarrassingly well-endowed DUzies will be announced every Friday, if I get around to it. Previous awards can be found in my journal.
Note to Mods: Skinner has authorized the DUzy Awards to be posted in GD. Special thanks this week to bleever, ih8thegop, stellanoir, rosesaylavee, Buzz Clik, merh, Swamp Rat, Moochy, EstimatedProphet and NanceGreggs for their invaluable assistance.

Joe Fields:
Only Shrub could fuck up a wet dream....response #7 by
petronius:
I think the difference is that Nixon actually had the fortitude and honesty torecognize that engaging with Communist China was the right thing to do. There are a lot of positive things that a Republican (even from from the far far right; Jesse Helms comes to mind) with integrity could do, but Shrub is not that guy. There is nothing Shrub can do that could not be done as well or better by a hemorrhoidal marmoset...

A Pentagon spokesperson, under conditions of anonymity, had this to say. "Frankly, we're at a loss here. If al Qaeda has the connections to utilize the Zombie community, what's next?

Reverand Jerry Falwell, 73, President of Liberty University and Pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church
was reportedly in a meeting with a Mr. Tinky Winky, of East Staffordshire, U.K. when he was stricken
this morning. Despite past differences Falwell had become close to Mr. Winky over the past few years.
His Thomas Road Baptist Church was reportedly ready to market "boy purses," for young Christian men.
Winky, 39 was escorted out of a back door from Falwell's office by campus police so as to avoid the
media. Winky and Falwell had recently been seen dining together at a "gentleman's club" in Richmond,
VA close to a condo where Mr. Winky lived. The deed on the Condo showed that the "President's
discretionary checking account paid for the $550,000.00 home on the James River.
Winky was unavailable for comment.

response #22 by
H2O Man:
But you must admitthere is a huge chance that the 2008 presidential election will be decided by millions of Americans who will identify the anti-Falwell threads on DU from 5-15 thru 5-17-07 as the single issue they used in making the choice to vote republican. I think we all need to get crew-cuts, wear two neck ties, and donate to the Moral Majority. It's the only way to save this thing we've all worked so hard for.
