Is there any chance that some leaking airhead from Hollywood will take the 2010 Fousesquawk Golden Penguin award for Jerk of the Year? The previous two winners have come from the world of politics (John Edwards and Alan Grayson). This year, however, the usual crowd of Hollywood jerks is crowding the field.
Lately, we have had Mel Gibson going off on multiple telephone rants against his former squeeze, who, of course, was taping everything he said. Not only is this guy a misogynist, but he managed to throw in an n-bomb to go with his previous rants against Jews-who he still apparently detests. Gibson is the only man in history to demand oral sex saying he "deserved it".
Then old Oliver Stone renewed his jerk license for another year with his own anti-Semitic comments about Jews "controlling the media". Mr Stone, of course, also made history as the first person to put Adolf Hitler in context.
Now comes Michael Moore, the walking unmade bed, with his emotional defense of the accused military leaker to Wikileaks. "A patriot" says Mr Moore. I wonder what he thinks of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, for God's sake.
"He followed the Nuremberg principles", says Moore.
And today we hear about another head case, Naomi Campbell, who I guess is a British model who also hangs around Hollywood set, testifying before a war crimes trial in The Hague.
What's that all about? Is beating up a maid now considered a war crime?
Kind reminds me of seeing people like Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie testifying in front of our boob Congress.
Of course, it will be no mean trick to rob some politician of the Jerk of the Year award, but it looks like the Hollywood set is going to give them a run for their money.

I think that it's Gibson by a mile. Stone's comment was stupid, but it wasn't even the same neighborhood as what Gibson said. Moore's argument can actually be debated to some degree.
Even if you added some other worthy contenders from the conservative side like Michelle Bachmann and Rush Limbaugh, I'd still say that Gibson should win by a mile.
Rest assured, Limabugh or Bachmann will not win the Jerk of the Year award on fousesquawk.
Of course they won't. Only leftist jerks may apply.
Ya know, I just realized that even though Gibson is a Hollywood guy, he is most definitely not a leftist. If that's the closest we can get to a conservative Fousesquawk "Jerk of the Year", I'll take it.
Give the award jointly to Gibson and Stone, seat them side by side in the seat of honor. They deserve each other, the same way I thought that O.J. Simpson and Detective Mark F. should be sentenced to spend their rest of their lives sharing a small efficiency apartment.
I'm still a big fan of "We Are Your Sons," so you don't make points with me knocking Julius and Ethel. And as I recall, Naomi Campbell is being called to testify about the former warlord of Liberia, Charles Taylor, pouring some raw blood diamonds into her hand, when he has testified under oath that he never had access to any such thing. Not out of line.
It's a good bet the winner will be a lefty.

Unless you pick Gibson. (Come on - is there really any contest here?)
Gibson is so blatantly anti-Jewish, I'm surprise Gary hasn't graced us with one of his original works of art, picturing Gibson offering violent resistance to the Israeli team landing on the deck of the Rachel Corrie.
Siarlys,
Great Idea!!! Can I use it? I'll give you ahat tip.
Lance, Gibson is nominated, but he has stiff competition.
You have my full permission Gary. Just if it ever gets auctioned off by Sothby's, I want 10% of the take.
