[54spiritedwill54]

Funny narration; well edited; another good one

[katygirl48]

And, for the Ex Post Facto "Golden Duke, Golden Handshake Award," it is Lurita Doan, finally fired.... Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GretchenDawntreader]

Susan Lucci didn't win here either...but then she probably wouldn't want to.

[eddiwardo]

bravo...finally an awards show I'll actually watch.

[raphi72]

I can't believe you spared Gonzales for

watch?v=ZY5BwMjpUOI

?

[mwb970]

Unbelievable! The only problem is that it made me sick to my stomach to have to look at so many sleazy, slimy Republicans all at once like that. Yuck.

And yeah, Gonzales got robbed - that disgusting little weasel should have won something!

[annarboriter]

The tradition of awards shows and year end bests has become tedious and detracts from the otherwise excellent work of TPM. But hey, you know Susie Bright! Mr. Arnold, you rock this world and the next.

"Hi, I'm Oral Roberts. And this is my son...Dick."

They should get an award just for the funny names.

[missdivinestalls]

*applause* this was great!!!

[swisbeagle]

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

[patsagainstrats]

"Golden Duke Awards"?

Duck, I says.

[t0msawyer77]

ROFLMAO

[portalarizona]

John Dean said this about Bush being selected as best scandal of the year (for politicizing the entire US government): "Bush's politics have done for good government what war does for peace, what famine does for hunger, what Alzheimer's does for memory, what Lee Harvey Oswald did for Dallas" Senator Chris Dodd said, "I'm sure this will look nice in the trophy case next to the "Mission Accomplished" banner and Brownies' Arabian horse show ribbons."

[judithnathan]

According to the Drudge Report, Republican primary presidential candidate Mitt Romney has short listed GINGER CRUZ as one of his potential vice presidential running mates because of her bona fides and her demographic appeal.

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

Please.

Alberto was totally robbed.

[judithnathan]

Well, what can you say? He's a magnanamous guy, so, for the good of the nation, he decided to resign anyway. He's certainly no vitter.

[portalarizona]

If it's any consolation, Alberto did get the Lawyer of the Year award from the American Bar Association.

[amsoho75gr]

i will make the duke's 4 free if you want

[RecessMonkeys]

Wow. Talk about separating the chaff from the chaff.

[BrownstoneWalkUp]

Hilarious! Good job!

[Robguy66]

So many of them could be ties. It's really disgraceful.

[Xdrakemanx]

ALBERTO!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I don't recall if I nominated him.

[n1temairdr1fter]

funny!

[ccnoise]

Richard Curtis was robbed! The judges were dipping into the holiday punch bowl overtime!

Seriously though, thanks for conducting these awards. I looked forward to the envelopes being opened here much more so than the Oscars.

[sydfynch]

Gonzo was robbed. he was BY FAR the biggest doucebag of the year. He needs a Golden Duke. Oh well, maybe next year when he gets his medal of freedom.

[cobwebhead]

It's a little late to introduce new evidence, but I hope the judges considered this little pre-testimonial clip from Lurita Doan:

[TrevorJNoyes]

Impeach Bush , he should be jailed.

[wskytngo]

Nicely done Josh. I look forward to the 2008 GDs with gusto! Nothing like an election to stir thinks up and methinks that many 2007 nominees will be back in 2008. Would like to see Cheney in there for the general corruption category and he also deserves a lifetime acheivement award.

[Darganot]

I was rooting for Stevens...I just don't like that guy

[Xdrakemanx]

C'mon...He made the scientific and technological breakthrough of discovering the internet is a "series of tubes."

[cobwebhead]

How tragic, poor Gonzo was passed over. He'll never be able to match his 2007 effort, and most years, he'd have won hands down. But I guess the competition was just too "stiff".

Everyone says he's such a nice man, it's hard not to feel bad for him. Maybe Josh will consider him for a lifetime achievement award.

[slicjay]

Superb!

[duck1414]

Hey Larry...

You are too a fairy...

Happy New Queers to all the RNC

[CitizenWorm]

That was really funny. It was a surprisingly satisfying way to wonkishly wrap up 2007.

[CampHazzard]

I never get to judge anything. You're mean.

[radgeek01]

Funny narration; well edited; another good one Josh!

[estebanx]

Wow, I was rooting for Lurita, but one must give snaps to the Tracy Flick look-alike.

[chumashfalcon]

1st! Thank you Joshua for making a website that digs up dirt as well as/better than a major newspaper. Keep up the good work.
