Who Will be the 2009 "Jerk of the Year"?

Only two more days to go before the grand announcement of who will win the Golden Penguin award as the 2009 Fousesquawk "Jerk of the Year" award.


John Edwards-Last year's winner
(Only two more days, John!)


The reason I will wait until New Year's Day to announce the winner is because there are so many worthy nominees and events are happening so fast that the winner could actually emerge on the final day. I tell ya this is an excrutiating decision. At any rate, here are the final nominees:

Harry Reid (no list would be complete without "Dingy Harry".)

Barbara ("Call me Senator") Boxer

Joe ("I miss my son") Jackson

Nancy Pelosi

Keith "Slack-jawed tea-baggers") Olbermann (Mr Consistency)

Gov. Mark Sanford

Honduran ex-President Manuel Zelaya

Hugo Chavez

David Letterman (for mocking others' sexual activities)

Perez Hilton

Michael Musto

Sen. John Ensign

Professor Henry Louis Gates

British MP George Galloway

Janeane Garofalo ("Redneck racists")

Bill Maher ("America is a stupid nation."

Kathy Sebelius

Steny Hoyer

Hillary Clinton (for her performance in the Congo)

Ex-Calif State Senator Mike (the spanker) Duvall

Kanye West

Jimmy Carter

Richard Heene (Balloon boy)

Rep. Alan Grayson (ridicuous statements too numerous to list here)

Sen. Max (babes, booze & bills) Baucus

Janet Napolitano

Charlie Sheen (late entry)

Nadya Sulemon (Octomom)



Feel free to add your own nominee. Results will be announced by me on New Year's Day.
