When Eddie met Alex(Jones) - or at least leveraged that level of conspiracy theory. Itâs like he was doing a swan dive into the heart of the cesspool.
Or as David Frum tweeted
And that German word will contain at the very least 12 letters. In English two words:Malevolent Moron.
The way things are going, Mr. Whalen, it looks as though you might need the services of a good attorney. Here is one that comes highly recommended:
The âDuke of the Weekâ is a worthy effort. Except that the award criteria are being stretched to include garden-variety, unethical and hypocritical politicians and apparatchiks
Cunningham resigned from the House on November 28, 2005, after pleading guilty to accepting at least $2.4 million in bribes and under-reporting his taxable income for 2004. He pleaded guilty to federal charges of tax evasion, and conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud, and wire fraud. He was sentenced to eight years and four months in prison and was ordered to pay $1.8 million in restitution.[2]
âProf. Dr. Wiki
As bad an apparatchik as Wheeler is, he doesnât quite reach the Duke Cunninham level of felonious grift. Even if heâs sued for libel by Mr Garrett, Whelan (along with his band of merry âconspiratorsâ) doesnât really reach very far above mere arrogant reactionary foolishness. And this has been the case for a few of the recent winners. In my opinion, weâre more closely approaching a kind of Keith Olbermann âWorst Person in the Worldâ schtick.
This is just an observation, not a complaint, but perhaps a revamping of the criteria is in order and/or a name change to, say, something with a Gallic, je ne sais qoi, like âimbĂ©cile de la semaineâ might do. Or, you could just carry on.
Right-o, then.
Yosemite Sam comes to mind.
Of course Whelan doesnât look that energetic.
Heâs the Mr. Burns version of Yosemite Sam.
Good choice, NYT could have done just as well
I believe burntdicken is the word you are searching forâŠ
One of my favorite videos.
Gotta admit, it is getting at least rewarding to watch all these Staunch Republicans (of the Party of Fiscal corruption, social discord, and incestuous family values) provide entertainment for the masses.
You have to applaud a large group who think Auric Goldfinger is the Hero, and who have Snidely Whiplashâs face tattooed on their butts.
(I prefer this vid, as it is more in the spirit of Bugs Bunny or the Roadrunner cartoons.)
Apparently they did not use enough google maps, floor plans, and yearbook photos in their article.
Kathleen Parker, neo-con hack columnist at the Post, broke the âevil twin theoryâ before Whelan came out with his embarrassing tweet-rant.
Today she is writing about Hurricane Florence, and how it imperils her beach house!
Oh the problems of the rich white right-wingers!
It is worth going to the WaPo site and reading the comments on this column.
Every single one of them is mocking Parker, she has no defenders anywhere. Even the trolls arenât coming to her defense.
The fact that apparently some group of these guys thought this bullshit would fly says so much about them - especially about the fetid soup of ignorance and conspiracy theories they apparently float around in all day long. This is level 5 crackpot bullshit.

Donald Trump has produced another dignity wraith.
An inspired choiceâAnd, if I may say, I think Whelan has vaulted into the lead pack for Duke of the Year. Well done, Ed!
No heâs just another unsportsman lowlife Republican gaming the system
What I keep reading is that these guys are in a closed information loop and just keep telling each other these things and it never occurs to them that âanybodyâ not already convinced of the righteousness of their âideaâ can see thru the damn thing.
I âdoâ want the unnamed (to me) middle-school teacher to sue Whelan into living in a DUMPSTER.
Perhaps the problem is that he was respected in the first place.
I grew up in a gun owning family. I have sot a lot of paper targets in my youth and i went pheasant hunting with my dad. It was alwsys pounded into my head to be safe and aware when handling guns. I do not understand why that guy wanted to âquick drawâ on a paper target all of 3 inches from his face. I have my own copy of that video and have looked at it numerous times trying to figure out what he was trying to prove. Thereâs the double stupidity of the move and putting it up on the web.
