The Nitwit Awards of the Week: 12-16-08

This week there will be more than one Nitwit Award given out!!! What a week! The first one goes to our boy president, who made a surprise visit to his second home, Baghdad. There, during a press conference, he had two shoes thrown at him by an Iraqi news reporter. Bush said, "I don't know what his beef was about?" A simple minded answer from a stupid, and simple minded person. If only Bush would have picked up the shoe and taken the call, all would have been saved from embarrassment.

The other goes to the American Coalition for Clean Coal Technology  jingle that took the Frosty the Snowman song and adapted it to sell their clean coal image. It was eventually pulled after criticism prevailed. The radio show, "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me", on NPR, poked fun at it, too. So, another Nitwit Award goes to the American Coalition for Clean Coal Technology for being so tacky.
