It MUST be Joe-The Hoe-Lieberman. This the liar who sold out working Americans from receiving a public option or a buy-in to Medicare. He is no Democrat but a neo-con jerkdecrat.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He has received $2.1 million from the health care industry. He has raised about $49 million overall, including millions from financial firms, lawyers, real estate interests and pro-Israeli groups. Among Lieberman's biggest lifetime contributors is indeed the Harford-based Aetna insurance company, which has contributed $112, 618 through political action committees and individuals. The Travelers Companies, also based in Harford, has contributed $72,119. Purdue Pharma, a Stamford pharaceutical company, contributed $150, 100 to him through individuals and PACs, making it the senator's fourth-largest single contributor. Only United Technologies, Citigroup and Lehman Brothers contributed more. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Also, Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc, contributed $85,000 through individuals and PACs. Lieber-hoe found checks made out to him by Blue Cross-Blue Shield, Anthem, CIGNA, Health Net, and United Health.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Center for Public Integrity reported that Joe had hoed legislation that benefited Pfizer Inc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, Joe Lieberman, you are elected to be Nitwit of the Year!!! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8843113294116730666-4380367599812600532?l=thenitwitawards.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenitwitawards.blogspot.com/feeds/4380367599812600532/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8843113294116730666&amp;postID=4380367599812600532' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8843113294116730666/posts/default/4380367599812600532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8843113294116730666/posts/default/4380367599812600532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenitwitawards.blogspot.com/2009/12/nitwit-senator-joe-hoe-lieberman.html' title='Nitwit Senator Joe-The Hoe-Lieberman'/><author><name>awarder</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10743917116785356743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843113294116730666.post-9220442580634827858</id><published>2009-09-10T20:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-10T21:23:31.856-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Congressman Joe Wilson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Congressman Eric Cantor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Health Care Reform Bill'/><title type='text'>Nitwit CONgressman Joey "Jockstrap" Wilson</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;During President Obama's speech to the joint Congressional Assembly on 9-9-09 about health care reform, Nitwit Joey Wilson called the president a liar. Keith Olbermann called Joey Wilson, Wrongway Wilson. Wrongway yelled out to President Obama, "You Lie" when the president stated that the discussed health care reform bill currently in the Congress would not allow for illegal immigrants to be able to buy into the "insurance exchange" plan. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Unfortunately, "Jockstrap" Wilson was wrong. Nowhere in the bill does it say what Wilson imagined. Obviously he never read it, or he was taking his marching orders to disrupt the Joint Session of Congress, no matter what the consequences would be, from the Reichstag Republican leadership bosses. Not only was he wrong, but he called out this president from the his assigned seat showing how stupid he really was. Wrongway Wilson NEVER called out his liar BushBoy president for all the lies surrounding the rush to war in Iraq and for all the fake reasons why we were there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;This South Carolina Republican fool only gave an apology to the president because his political mommy-the Repugni-con leadership told him to.

He pontificated that the way to handle it was to hand off the negotiations to the Chinese government.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He bloviated that it was a mistake to have former President Clinton, acting as a "civilian", go to North Korea and meet directly with Kim Jong II. The only "payment" given was for Mr. Clinton to attend photo shoots with Kim Jong II and attend state dinners. Bonehead Bolton felt these exchanges were wrong. The women: Laura Ling and Euna Lee, should have stayed in prison.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We, therefore, must assume that the most incompetent and Brain-dead Bolton would keep his own mother in a gulag for his neo-fascist beliefs. He quietly railed that this negotiation sets an Obama precedence to have envoys meet with our enemies when the lives of American hostages are at stake. He objects to such discussions. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He mentioned the 3 American hikers who were arrested, on charges of spying,  by the Iranian military for illegally entering the country might give the Iranian government the idea that a negotiated dialogue might occur when attempting to obtain the release of such prisoners.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Blowzy Bolton must subscribe to the Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran foreign policy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;http://eye-on-washington.blogspot.com wrote this award.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8843113294116730666-7931487324820264316?l=thenitwitawards.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenitwitawards.blogspot.com/feeds/7931487324820264316/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8843113294116730666&amp;postID=7931487324820264316' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8843113294116730666/posts/default/7931487324820264316'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8843113294116730666/posts/default/7931487324820264316'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenitwitawards.blogspot.com/2009/08/nitwit-john-bolton.html' title='Nitwit John Bolton'/><author><name>awarder</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10743917116785356743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843113294116730666.post-999833263640375317</id><published>2009-07-08T05:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-08T05:53:32.936-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hunger'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Missouri State Representative Cynthia Davis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='School Lunches'/><title type='text'>Nitwit Missouri State Representative Cynthia Davis</title><content type='html'>A Nitwit Award goes out to Missouri State Representative Cynthia Davis for opposing subsidized school lunches for low income children during the summer months.

I am not sure if he in touch with reality or with even the residents of Washington, DC. For many, they are caught in the actual real unemployment statistics of 15%, which includes the under-employed, and those who are working less than 23 hours per week but want full-time like they had before they were Pink Slipped, as well as those who just gave up looking. I am not sure he is in touch with the nation's university presidents, as he was once the president of Harvard. There will be a flood of new graduates unable to find work. Even the stimulus package will not make up for the coming job losses. Remember, there a millions who lost their 401Ks and were hoping to retire allowing younger people to fill these job vacancies. This, Larry, just won't be happening. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, consumers continue to feel the jitters when they open their wallets even to buy two large pizzas! So, I am sure what Larry Summers is talking about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry was a key figure in the deregulation that brought about this economic tsunami that swept of the country over the last 2 years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry Summers get the Nitwit Award for this week!!

He wanted all of us to know that being a boy president has been "hard work", and that he has made "tough decisions" in order to make this nation safe, the world safe, and create a successful presidency for himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush is a psychopathic, delusional failure believing that he is able to make the tough decisions. He has spoken about this idea over and over again throughout his presidency. He wants the American people to believe that he is competent in his skills as a national leader, yet his unconscious insecurity has driven his brain to repeat out loud that yes, he CAN make the hard decisions when in reality he has NEVER been capable or skilled enough, or smart enough or competent enough to actually do so. So, his effort to try and bring forth a sense that HE is a successful Decider of Tough Decisions, which is occurring on an  unconscious level,  has to be reaffirmed and reflected back to himself by his over-inflated and damaged ego. It is not any different than the child who climbs up on the counter to get a cookie and through his "hard work" to obtain the actually cookie knocks over and breaks the cookie jar, but then tries to justify his disastrous tough decision to be independent says, "But I did it myself, Mommie!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8843113294116730666-6993771926357578796?l=thenitwitawards.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenitwitawards.blogspot.com/feeds/6993771926357578796/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8843113294116730666&amp;postID=6993771926357578796' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8843113294116730666/posts/default/6993771926357578796'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8843113294116730666/posts/default/6993771926357578796'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenitwitawards.blogspot.com/2009/01/this-weeks-award-goes-to-our-outgoing.html' title='This Week&apos;s Award Goes to Our Outgoing Boy President'/><author><name>awarder</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10743917116785356743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843113294116730666.post-1195100355516711381</id><published>2008-12-16T09:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-16T10:07:54.106-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Nitwit Awards of the Week'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The American Coalition for Clean Coal Technology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Wait Wait Don&apos;t Tell Me'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Nitwit Awards'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Iraqi Shoe Throwing Reporter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='President Bush Gets Shoe Thrown At Him'/><title type='text'>The Nitwit Awards of the Week: 12-16-08</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large; font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;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.

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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8843113294116730666-1195100355516711381?l=thenitwitawards.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenitwitawards.blogspot.com/feeds/1195100355516711381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8843113294116730666&amp;postID=1195100355516711381' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8843113294116730666/posts/default/1195100355516711381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8843113294116730666/posts/default/1195100355516711381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenitwitawards.blogspot.com/2008/12/nitwit-awards-of-week-12-16-08.html' title='The Nitwit Awards of the Week: 12-16-08'/><author><name>awarder</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10743917116785356743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843113294116730666.post-7145777572468166407</id><published>2008-12-09T15:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-16T10:19:34.771-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama&apos;s senate seat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rod Blagojevich'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nitwit'/><title type='text'>The Nitwit Award of the Week: 12-3-08</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;This week's award goes to the Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich. Any name you cannot pronounce has to be suspect! This guy decided that the kickbacks he had already been getting on the sly were not good enough for him. He wanted more.

Is this guy a total liar, or fool? Oh, I forgot, he is a nitwit!! Paulson was the CEO of Goldman Sachs and being paid millions, and a International Monetary Fund Board of Governor, yet he had no idea that the housing crisis could freeze up credit and burn up trillions of dollars through toxic security gambles. Would it not be nice to have a job where you don't have to right and still get paid millions of dollars?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8843113294116730666-2312204681213442560?l=thenitwitawards.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thenitwitawards.blogspot.com/feeds/2312204681213442560/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8843113294116730666&amp;postID=2312204681213442560' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8843113294116730666/posts/default/2312204681213442560'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8843113294116730666/posts/default/2312204681213442560'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thenitwitawards.blogspot.com/2008/12/nitwit-award-of-week-12-1-08.html' title='Nitwit Award of the Week-12-1-08'/><author><name>awarder</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10743917116785356743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843113294116730666.post-2623619515613602013</id><published>2008-11-25T07:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T16:07:47.512-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nitwit Awards'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='U.S. Recession'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NPR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nitwits'/><title type='text'>Nitwit Award of the Week-11-25-08</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;The first Nitwit Award goes to the NPR commenter who said the we might be in a recession.

Maybe for those earning many tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, they might now be entering a recession.
