MONTREAL (CP) - The November elections may still be ahead of him but U.S. President George W. Bush came out a big winner Friday - at the World Stupidity Awards.

Bush was a dominating presence at the second edition of the awards presented at the Just for Laughs comedy festival. An advance list of the winners was obtained by The Canadian Press. Bush took the Stupidest Man of the Year Award and for the second time in the history of the two-year-old awards won the Stupidity Award for Reckless Endangerment of the Planet.

Bush didn't take the category alone, however, and tied with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

The controversial Texan president shared in two other awards as the United States was noted for having the Stupidest Government of the Year. "What was interesting about that is that the decision was made overwhelmingly by Americans who voted," said Albert Nerenberg, of the Main Organization Revealing Obvious Numbskulls which organizes the awards.

Nominations and voting took place at the organization's online site, except for the lifetime achievement award which is settled by the judges.

3. He's not really a President.

Gov. Bush was selected, not elected.

Still, as occupant of the Oval Office,he's calling the shots. From the article, comes "Stupidest Woman of the Year" winner:

Also, Stupidest Woman of the Year was U.S. soldier Pte. Lyndie England, who became notorious after pictures were published of her allegedly abusing Arab prisoners in a Baghdad military prison. She is facing charges.

Nice.

4. Plenty of stupidity to go around

Stupidest Act of the Year went to Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, who cradled his baby while feeding a crocodile, an act which sparked a storm of protest.

"What is it with celebrities dangling their babies?" asked presenter Scott Thompson of Kids in the Hall fame. "Next year, they'll be eating them. Good thing cocaine is an appetite suppressant."

5. Chimpy really deserves the lifetime acheivement award

6. Just had to post this little snippit:

<snip>

Iraq and the conservative right in the United States figured heavily in the awards, which declared Fox's The O'Reilly Factor the Stupidest TV Show and gave Fox News the nod for Media Outlet Which Has Made the Greatest Contribution to Furthering Ignorance Worldwide.

Heh, heh, heh.....

7. I'm sure all the Bushes are proud of their

"talented" son. What a great image booster for our country!

By the way, Moron, welcome to DU. What a great name. Unfortunately, you misspelled it. Isn't it moran?

[BattyDem]

17. Are the Bush's parenting skills to blame for this or ...

Should we blame the government, or blame society, or should we blame the images on TV?

NO!

Blame Canada!
Blame Canada!

With all their beady little eyes, their flapping heads so full of lies

Blame Canada!
Blame Canada!

We need to form a full assault, it's Canada's fault!


Sorry, I couldn't resist. :evilgrin: I love South Park!

another snippet:

"It was a stupendous year for stupidity," he said.
The show ended with a raucous musical number by mini Kiss, a group of
singing dwarfs who perform made up like the '70s glam rock group. "

i can sleep peacefully now.

11. Hey ya MORON!

Welcome aboard you idiot!.... Honestly it's good to hear from ya amigo.... GW Bush for 2004 presidential election loser!.... That'll get my vote every time!

[rocktivity]

13. O Canada, Je ris fort!

Fox's The O'Reilly Factor the Stupidest TV Show and gave Fox News the nod for Media Outlet Which Has Made the Greatest Contribution to Furthering Ignorance Worldwide.
Now we know the REAL reason why Shill O'Reilly wants to boycott Canada!

Stupidest Woman of the Year was...Lynndie England, who became notorious after pictures were published of her allegedly abusing Arab prisoners in a Baghdad military prison...(She) beat out...Martha Stewart...Courtney Love, Anna Nicole Smith and Michael Jackson, who "finally had enough surgery to place himself in this category."
I believe Lynndie was following orders. But if she's going to take a bullet (if you'll pardon the expression) for the Bush regime and say she acted on her own, she's stupider than even THEY thought!

Gigli, considered one of the worst movies of the year and an albatross for stars Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, tied with Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ as Stupidest Movie.
The Passion of the Christ should have won because Mel backed out on financing F9/11 when pressured by the Bush regime. He could have come out $100 million richer AND looking like quite the cultural renaissance man!

Although Canada was shut out, Nerenberg said it was a banner year for stupidity.
Well, I wish them better luck next year. Well done!!!

14. He hasn't done it alone

W has managed to surround himself with the greatest array of crooks and scoundrels since Hedley Lamarr decided to attack Rockridge .

[BattyDem]

15. Everybody sing along now ...

I'm proud to be an American, where at least I ... huh? ... oh ... never mind. :-( :eyes:

[cliss]

18. Now in case anyone hasn't seen them,

there are dozens of web sites that have LONG lists of quotes from the Old BeelzeBush. I've read several, and I'm not kidding I was absolutely amazed at the stupidity of this man. He can't be for real!

If you read quote after quote after quote, you will not believe your eyes that he's said things like this in public and he continues to do so to this very day.

Those poor people! who had to compile this shit. Look under "Bush screwy quotations", or "Bush bad quotes". Anything like that, and you'll get hundreds of web sites. Have fun!

[rocktivity]

20. Check out this DU thread, Cliss

link

A DU-er says her four-year old daughter has "mastered a second language" because she says things like "Don't leave the place and fall down that one that will make you shoot yourself." With the help of a few examples, I was able to prove that what her child says makes what Bush says sound like kid stuff!

21. What's really ironic

the National Post is Canada's leading right-wing paper. If they're saying Dubya's an idiot...

If it were in the US, it would be "bu$h country".

Maybe it's the oil? :shrug:

27. Bush wins big at Stupidity Awards

Another Article


Black said the awards "celebrate the pros" and "perfection in idiocy" because real stupidity is hard work.
"It's easy to fall down a manhole, it's easy to put the candles too close to the drapes, it's easy to launch a military invasion of another country based on a few blurry satellite photos," he observed.

"This year my people, we scaled the Everest of stupidity and we stand upon its peak."

Bush took the Stupidest Man of the Year Award and for the second time in the history of the two-year-old awards won the Stupidity Award for Reckless Endangerment of the Planet.

31. Looks like another transatlantic award for Blair

that he's embarrassed to be seen accepting.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/print/0,3858,4798737-103685,00.html

"Such is the sensitivity on the British side over this that officials advised against an innocent ceremony in which Mr Bush was to have handed over a Congressional gold medal awarded to Mr Blair in July."
