It's the day you all have been waiting for. Every week I sort though the ignorance and stupidity among us to select a TransGriot Shut Up Fool of the week But there are just some people or groups of people who just continue to take ignorance and stupidity to levels where no human being has gone before..
Last year's Shut Up Fool of the Year award winner was GOP chairman Michael Steele. This year he wasn't even a blip on the radar screen.
Okay, people let's get to it. These were the deserving nominees for Shut Up Fool of the Year.
Sharron Angle, Christine O'Donnell, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), a group nomination for Fox News, a group nomination for the Republican Party, Bill O'Reilly, Sen. John McCain, Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX), Israel Luna, Joe Miller, Rep Joe Wilson (R-SC), Pat Robertson, Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), GOPProud.
Megathanks for your help TransGriot readers. These folks go into consideration for the 2011 Shut Up Fool Lifetime Achievement Award which will be revealed on Oscars weekend.
And now the envelope please.
The 2010 Shut Up Fool of the Year is: Sarah Palin
Whether it was making up words that didn't exist, hating on the POTUS and FLOTUS at every opportunity, contradicting herself at every opportunity, shamelessly pimping her kids for her own political purposes, mentoring a clueless east coast wannabee clone and other Tea Klux Klan members who cost the GOP the Senate (thank God) and just generally showing how clueless she is about many issues, Sarah Louise Heath Palin earned this award hands down over some very worthy competition.
Congratulations to the half term governor and Shut Up Fool!
