If you’re not a reporter working for a dying newspaper looking to us to do your job (and even if you are), you’re refreshing Page One 24/7 because you want some horrible snark. You say you hate us but you keep coming back for more. So ramp up your rage, get those manties out of a bunch and let’s get on down to the Second Annual Golden Poo Awards.
In honor of our third anniversary, you’re being forced to help us give ten lucky (unlucky!) winners a pile of golden bull shiz, pictured at left, because they deserve it.
Which elected/public officials, candidates, reporters, public figures and so forth are absolutely full of it? Your input is needed!
Each day we’ll announce a new award category and you’ll submit an unlimited number of nominees. Once all nominations are received (early or mid-August), we’ll announce the winners and send the golden piles of poo to super-excited (amiright?) recipients. So please be sure to keep this scandalous and inappropriate.
Today’s category is:
Submit your nomination – along with your reasoning (this is required) – in the comments. Keep it hilarious!

Gotta be Hal Rogers for his Cheetah Bill. Just like those big cats that pee pee to mark their territory, Hal continues to pee pee on the folks of eastern Ky. 5 million would go along ways to help the recent flood victims or to the ever growing drug problems. Thanks for helping foreign kitties and not the American people who have truly fallen even further from the American dream.

Well, I tend to think that the really long process for selecting a replacement for a Louisville Metro Council seat was only officially complete once they found just the right lube, as they had gone many hours that evening screwing one particular candidate sans lube.
But who was responsible for the final product there? Help me.

TJFL: “Gotta be Hal Rogers for his Cheetah Bill”…
Yes that bill is a ripoff of taxpayer $$$. But that is not the issue here. May I disagree–I submit that he broke ranks w/repubs & voted with dems to pass the bill. Plenty of lube to go around. Perhaps HR for another reason…

Okay… something other than Hal Rogers’ boring bill?
And something in KENTUCKY, maybe?

This one’s a no-brainer. Julie Denton. She got prison sex outlawed! Now guards who wanna rape prisoners need both lubricant and a lawyer!

Gotta be Mitch. Spoke in the ‘ville today about how the 2009 Stimulus package hurts America, but he attached 36 Earmarks to it worth $51,133.500 dollars. for more fun, see http://roaringrepublican.com/blog/2009/03/04/republican-earmarks-in-the-2009-senate-omnibus-spending-bill/

Does this cover a prisoners attorney?

Even though Hal Rogers is a Kentuckian, and I think his bill is “cheetah-ing” the people, I vote for the expanded gambling fiasco. Both sides want to cram their side down our throats (or orafice of your choice) without a vote. The pro-gambling side kept saying “put it to a vote,” but this latest thing from Breshear shows that their side doesn’t want a vote either (either of the people or the legislature). If I had to give it to one person, I would give it to Jack Conway for his ruling that the governor doesn’t have to go through the legilsature to implement his desires on this.

Nope, just guards, wardens and matrons. Gotta watch out for those pent-up prison matrons.
Pretty sure it’s already illegal for an attorney to rape a client.
10 bestmid // Jul 26, 2010 at 3:43 pm
To, you know, literally rape a client.
Not counting the regular financial screw.

Senator Leeper for his legislation to create another Maxey Flats —
Senate Bill 13 (Ease approval process for nuclear power plants) to delete the requirement that nuclear power facilities permanently dispose of nuclear waste and replace it with a waste storage requirement.

Steve Beshear. For his presentation of a state budget that required the furlough of state executive branch workers but excluded legislative and judicial employees, employees of public universities and public school systems, etc.

“My Vote: Mitch”
He has to be the biggest do-nothing blowhard in the history of KY politics. Here he is–big man on the Hill–and doing nada for the country. He is a throwback to the Whigs and Do Nothing parties.
14 room106 // Jul 26, 2010 at 4:28 pm
the governor…by landslide…since he’s passed absolutely no MEANINGFUL legislation including his gambling (3 strikes and you’re out)…so indeed, it appears Mr. Beshear is need of a truck load of lubricant to get anything passed at all even by the House which is majority Dem. Award just says “Legislation Requiring the Most Lubricant”…it doesn’t say legislation that passed or legislation that did in fact receive the necessary lubricant. Little oil on Beshear’s proposals can’t hurt…he’s bet three times on slots and lost each time.

There isn’t enough lube in the world for Kentucky’s biggest dick of all, David Williams. Mitch comes in second but he is more in the dumb dick category.
16 SandyW // Jul 26, 2010 at 5:13 pm
Rep. Joseph M. Fischer and Sen. Elizabeth Tori for their legislation requiring a physician to perform an obstetric ultrasound and show images to the woman seeking an abortion.

Bill Bartleman, The Paducah Sun
18 HB 5 // Jul 26, 2010 at 8:29 pm
Anyone consider HB 5?? It’s the mess Joe Meyer shopped around and finally got Larry Clark to sponsor. A completely ineffective piece of legislation that will destroy the unemployment insurance program in KY.

My thoughts are for HCR-10 and Kentucky Equality Fed.
Wow, what a resolution! Our legislators demanding that the Federal Government respect the sovereignty of Kentucky. Sounds like something Rand Paul might enjoy hearing. Yet, for some weird reason, Jordan Palmer decided that this bill should be supported because it would be positive for LGBT rights in KY.
OK, so, we declare that we are no longer subject to federal hate crimes protections, decide we can re-criminalize sodomy, and lose the right to visit a partner in the hospital. Sounds like he is being really supportive on this one!
What an idiot.

Bourbon is another form of ‘lubricant’…
Got to go with the Teamsters and the Bourbon industry on this one…Larry Clark.
Any legislation that would cause rational people to pour out perfectly good bourbon on the Capital steps in Frankfort, and arbitrarily drive up the costs for enjoying one of our trademark products…well…that’s just wrong.
21 Suzanne // Jul 27, 2010 at 10:47 am
Jeff Greer – for not allowing the Payday Lending bill a simple hearing in the Banking & Insurance Committee. He had an agreement with the industry to do nothing on pay day lending until the data collection authorized in 2009 could be analyzed.
It requires lube just to type that sentence.

Gotta figure out the bridges project commission in here somewhere. They are so busy trying to turn chicken poo into chicken salad with these tolls and all.
23 FactFace // Jul 29, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Hands down, I declare the winner to be Mitch McConnell. Again he has assisted in stopping progress for the working people, such as the bill aiding small businesses just today. This man is a bonafide nut and deserves the biggest, goldest Poo Poo award you got in stock.
The man cannot stand the thoughts of the Democrats getting any credit, so he and his cronies puts their selfish, political agenda above the American people again. Congrats, Mitch!
