The winner of the Golden Penguin is.....Chris Cuomo.
It was a crowded field in 2021, and it seemed like the front-runner changed every week or so. In the end, it is ex-CNN anchor and comedian, Chris Cuomo, who beat out all the other worthy contenders, including his own brother, fellow-comedian, Andrew Cuomo, the ex-governor of New York.
What clinched it for Fredo was the revelation that he had used his position and resources at CNN to dig up dirt on women who had accused his brother of sexual harassment. All the while, Chris was using his show to trash President Trump in righteous indignation on a daily basis while holding up Andrew as some sort of hero of the Covid crisis-when he was anything but. At any rate, CNN finally realized they had no alternative but to fire him.
Chris Cuomo has always been a jerk, but now he enters the Pantheon of Jerks, holder of the 2021 Golden Penguin for Fousesquawk Jerk of the Year.
I'd have picked someone else, but at least you picked a genuine jerk. (I'd consider him a nominee.)
