The Straight Jacket Awards Thread #4 For 2009: The Final Batch Of Candidates- Bachmann, Palin, Malkin, King,
And sparking of spectacles to behold, let's bring in the one and only Michele Bachmann. Not too be upstage of insanity by anyone, this beloved Minnesota congresswoman from both sides of the political spectrum (for all the many different reasons) expanded to her catalog of crazy in a big way.
Among the many accomplishments from Bachmann this year include her refusal to fill out the census bureau ,
an email to her supporters urging them to not let the media "Palinize her", and calling the Democratic health plan "literally having the power of life and death over you."
And you know there are much more highlights from this invaluable figure, but we can't be that bias here in our decision making.
The other maddening Michele in the world of lunatic fringeness is Michelle Malkin. Unlike some on this list who's crazy was first exposed this year, Malkin is indeed a regular in outrageousness, hate, and pure crazy.
As hence by calling the First Lady "The First Crony."
From mocking David Axelrod and his disabled daughter to continuing to attack other children (and what is scary is that she is a parent from what I hear), the out of control nature of this individual seems like it is truly incorrigible.
Always a contender for any crazy award, always.
The same has to be said of Iowa Congressman Steve King after the year of Highlights he has shown throughout the year, The ACORN crusader as I dub thee, King is a truly under the radar darkhorse in my mind for how nuts he is.
Seriously, if you just looked at the comments and actions King has made, he not only has he earned his place here, but he can literally make a passionate argument for taking home the award. Feeling that his best vote as a Congressman is voting against Katrina funding is pure mental sickness. Thinking that same sex marriage is a socialist concept is certainly another. And calling Obama the "Star of ACORN" is indeed reason to not discount this guy.
Let this moment where he calls Hamid Karzai "Muhammad" signal how he is a legit nut and stupid:
Mrs. "Death Panel" herself can't be forgotten, but since everyone from Oprah to Lettermen have had to deal with her, I'll just let the Andrea Mitchell interview speak for itself:
Forever a contender she will be.
The one who really loves to give the likes of Palin and the Cheneys comfortable friendly interviews, Mr. Insanity himself, Sean Hannity, is also a contender. Though overshadowed by many this year, Hannity is always worthy of at least being apart of the Straight Jacket All-Stars.
Especially when he was also apart of the birther movement himself
Despite returning thankfully to anonymity, Joe Wilson for obvious reasons deserves a nomination:
Takes a special crazy to do what he did.
Last but certainly not least, the final candidate for the Straight Jacket of the Year award is none other than Mr. Failed NFL owner Rush Limbaugh.
No one in this country had more insane comments this year than Mr. Oxycotin. Since you all have heard his voice too many times this year probably, I'll just leave you with this most-outrageous one that kicked started his year of really going off the boil:
And the ball rolled from there......
And just to add, the extra moments of hilarity nuttiness.
Chris Matthews dealing with another classic birther John Campbell
The Heene family, obviously (And how most of us, including myself, fail for it):
And to throw in a sports special for you, Seattle Seahawks fullback Owen Schmidt. In probably the only physically aggressive thing the Seahawks did all year, it was truly a moment in insanity, even for a fullback:
There are many other moments of crazy this year. From Kanye West interruption of Taylor Swift to Boobie Anti-Gay Lady walking off the set of Larry King, the Richard Cohen guy and of course, the Salahis, there were plenty of people who should have their own straight jackets for this year alone.
But only one will win TWD's Straight Jacket Award of the year?
