Paul Krugman Goes Full Paul Krugman in Election Day Conspiracy Theory

Two Time Winner of the Prestigious DMF 'AssHat of the Year', 2011 & 2014.

Excerpts from Sister Toldjah @RS

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is prone to pushing far-out conspiracy theories, theories that were no doubt pulled from the murky pits of the leftist fever swamps he visits on those rare occasions he feels the need to venture out of the NYC bubble in which he currently resides.

He has, without evidence, floated absurd fact-free theories about DJT.  Consumed with TDS, his favorite conspiracy theories of all seems to be the ones where he envisions Trump “stealing” the election. He’s written numerous Twitter threads detailing how he thinks things will play out, and a few columns about it, too.

The latest example of the TDS consuming Krugman beyond all hope came today when declared that dark days were ahead for America, not thanks to the left-wing Antifa/BLM-led riots that are happening in Democrat-run cities like his, not thanks to the unhinged leftists who are threatening to “burn the country down” in the aftermath of RBG’s death, but thanks to Trump and Republicans, who he claims will take drastic measures if the election doesn’t go their way.

from a twitter thread unroll:
"I wonder how many people are ready for just how bad the next six weeks plus are going to be. This is going to be the most dangerous election since 1860, with substantial odds that America as we know it will be damaged or even destroyed. /1   Trump's campaign strategy is to brazen it out with obvious lies: the virus isn't a threat, we have a vaccine, the economy is booming, violent mobs are roaming the streets of New York. Many people will believe him./2   Even so, it probably — probably — won't be enough. He's behind in the polls, and the two most cited models give him a 15-23 percent chance of winning. 3/   There is, however, a near-zero percent chance that he'll accept the result if he loses. He'll try to stop counting of absentee ballots, claim massive fraud, and probably try to get the Supreme Court to overturn the result. 4/   Expect violence from Trump supporters, maybe lots of it, both to disrupt voting on Election Day and in the days that follow. Is this overheated? So far Trump and his party have borne out every prediction by pessimists and made fools of optimists. 5/   If you aren't terrified, you aren't paying attention. But terror isn't productive; you should be asking what you personally can do to save democracy, which is very much under threat." 6/ 
Expect violence from Trump supporters“?? 
Like most of our “intellectual betters” on the left, Krugman has once again demonstrated that he lives in a bubble of complete cluelessness and obliviousness to the rotten things going on all around him, all perpetrated by extremists on his side of the aisle.

In reality, what’s really “terrifying” here is that Krugman and his ilk can’t see the forest for the trees. He is feeding directly into the dangerous and false Election Day narratives being weaved by Democrats and other media figures like him who four years later have still not accepted the results of the last presidential election.

If there is any post-election day violence, it will most assuredly be plotted and coordinated by some of the same repugnant slugs on the radical left who have orchestrated what has played out in cities like Portland and Seattle, and one of the people we can look to blame for at least in part inspiring the violence will be none other than Paul Krugman and the NYT.

Two Time "DMF ASSHAT OF THE YEAR" Award Winner Takes Trump's Top Honor.


Let's all raise a glass to the first place winner of Donald Trumps 'Fake News Awards', none other than the New York Times Paul Krugman, who boldly proclaimed on the day of President Trump’s historic landslide victory that the economy would never recover. 

Mr. Krugman (Anthropological Classification - Bozo Sapien) is no stranger to these pages and long time readers will remember Krugman as a two time winner of the prestigious Diogenes Middle Finger 'AssHat of the Year', 2011 and again in 2014.

Please join us in congratulating Mr. Krugman in his newest honor and for helping show to America that an Ivy League Education and a prestigious job with the NY Times doesn't necessary mean you have class or common sense. But I'm sure his cat is impressed....

Ten People We Wish Would Just Go Away And Leave Us Alone


When students of cultural history look back someday at America 2017 they will undoubtedly say it was a banner year for women.  It started with the historic Women’s March the day after the Inauguration of Donald Trump when Ashley Judd went full lunatic and gave a speech for the ages where she lamented everything from jean sizes to her monthly period. Liberal females nationwide have been having a collective 'period' every since, while beta males voluntarily hand over their balls to them.  Time magazine even named a gaggle of women “person of the year” for coming out with alleged tales of sexual misdeeds by the rich, powerful and famous.  Even dictionary editors jumped on the female bandwagon by declaring “feminism” the word of the year.

So, it should come as no surprise that seven of ten people I wish would just go away and stop bothering us 2018 are women (this is by no means a complete list) Here they are in reverse order:


#10 Lena Dunham - You can put lip-stick on a pig........Dunham is thankfully a fading entity. Two years ago, this loony beached walrus would have landed top three, but her drop this year indicates that not even the Left is listening to this actress/activist/liar/hoaxster/scammer/child molester. Yet, she kept herself in the news just enough to crack the top ten, meaning she broke her avowed exit from social media because as any woke justice warrior knows, life just isn’t the same without social media and the cool kids. 


  #9 Al FrankenA picture says a thousand words and a picture felled Al Franken from power as a Senator.  It also revealed the hypocrisy of so many champions of women’s rights who feel they have a right to cop a feel.  The fact is, I've never met anyone who thought Franken was that funny as a comedian and even less funny as a Senator from Minnesota. My guess is he will write some biopic in 2018 to much acclaim, do the talk show circuit and join Michael Richards on some wayward second rate comedy club stage.


#8 Harvey Weinstein - Bringing down this Hollywood honcho pretty much set off the #MeToo hysteria that swept the nation like a Santa Ana wind-driven wildfire.  His power and influence in Hollywood- not to mention the hypocritical Democratic Party- cannot be overstated.  Yet at the end, we see that Harvey Weinstein- avowed Democrat, the Party that supports women’s rights- was nothing more than a serial groper and in some cases, rapist.  Largely silent since the accusations arose leading to the loss of his production company, something tells me we haven’t heard the last of this ugly fat pervert after he emerges a “new man” from therapy.
#7 Colin Kaepernick  - America’s most famous unemployed NFL quarterback makes the list for his antics copied by cheerleaders and football teams alike who most still don't know what the hell they were protesting.  It started with sitting during the National Anthem, then taking a knee, then standing with arms locked in solidarity against this or that or whatever.  Meanwhile, the hair follicle-endowed ex-quarterback took to social activism in many areas (including supporting convicted cop killers).  But since people tune in to watch football games- not players making political statements- the NFL TV ratings are in the crapper and his influence over the decline in ratings cannot be denied. Now run along and play with your ball.....
#6 Chelsea Handler - What does a borderline mental case/comedian or comedienne do when their career is in decline?  They resort to social activism which, today, translates into Trump-bashing like all the cool people  The Comedy Hall of Shame is littered with the refuse- people like Sara Silverman, Rosie O’Donnell and Kathy Griffith.  And so it is no different with Chelsea Handler whose substance-abuse fueled ratings dropped through the floor on her late night show prompting the network to cut her off at the knees.  That caused Handler to pick up the phone and start drunk Tweeting and Facebooking and Instagramming all sorts of obnoxious social justice drivel. Rehab Chelsea, rehab......
#5 Jimmy Kimmel - Yet another “woman” on the list, Kimmel must be taking female hormone injections given the river of tears he has cried on late night television.  Whether it was Obamacare, gun control or some racist white supremacists in Charlottesville, Kimmel was there with tears in the eyes and hankie in hand.  Unfortunately, the cry act works once as with each subsequent one, he came under mounting derision.  Give it up- you’re not funny and you’re a fool. Oh and did I say you aren't funny? 
#4 Maxine Waters - In a way, you kind of wish this batshit crazy cheap wig wearing loud mouth doesn’t go away because she provides so much evidence of the unhinged nature of many on the Left.  Along with some other cohorts in the House, Auntie Maxine sees herself as the face of the #TheResistance that will bring down the mean Donald Trump.  And what a face it is!!  Her brain farts and ludicrous statements this year on Trump and in other areas have left even the most strident Leftist scratching their heads at times.  To the Right, she is the gift that just keeps on giving. But as of late, the bitch has been on my last nerve......
#3 Linda Sarsour - This Palestinian-American awoke one day and found that she could garner greater attention by donning a head scarf and barking out anti-Semitic nonsense.  But it is all for the “better good” since America is a seething cauldron of hatred against all Muslims.  It is ironic that one of the key organizers of the Women’s March is Muslim, since we all know that Islam is all about equal rights for the sexes.  However, that can be laid aside because there is a greater evil to be battled- Donald Trump.  You can put lip-stick on a pig......... 
#2 Nancy Pelosi - Seriously- its time for this recycled piece of aluminum to get an oil change and tune up.  The Minority Leader in the House who once famously proclaimed that they had to first pass a bill to see what was in the bill was full of head scratching moments this year too numerous to mention.  Whether it was gun control, DACA, tax reform- you name it- she and her strange shadow (Chuck Schumer) were there with cameras rolling predicting Armageddon.  Its time to put her on a truck, send her to that alien robotics factory from whence she came.
#1 Hillary Clinton - What is it going to take. She just will not go away.  Having penned yet another boring memoir- this time about the 2016 election- What Happened,  the answer is simple:  YOU LOST!  AGAIN!  TO DONALD TRUMP!!!  If that isn’t the definition of loser, I don’t know what is.  Yet, she persists in pushing her haggard face and obnoxious tipsy laugh on the public in a sorry attempt to gain sympathy.  She’s the political equivalent of herpes…only worse.  We have suggestions: go be a grandmother.  Dote on the kids!  Drink more Chardonnay and take more walks in the woods with Bill and eat mushrooms or hunt bigfoot or something.  Anything, whatever… just go away!

Diogenes' AssHat of the Year Award 2016

This years Award Winner has long been on the  radar, but was edged out in past years for recognition by the remarkable American Asshatry of the likes of Michael Moore,  Paul Krugman and Dingy Harry Reid.  But, like a great football team in a fourth quarter comeback, I was delighted to read a post at NewsBusters titled "Snob Alert: NPR Star's 'Surprisingly Vicious' Trump Attack, that sealed the deal for this years award winner. 

I first became aware of our award winner while working part-time in college as a weekend board-op for Louisiana Public broadcasting. At first I admired his wit and writing ability. But not being actually raised in the south, I detected a sometime not so thinly veiled snobbish elitist dislike of the South and all things southern in his satire. Backwards we are...unduly religious....and we got GUNS. It played well to his audience, mostly white bread northern liberals.

Years later, after an illness ceased production of his weekly broadcast and believing he had nothing to lose, I read a magazine interview and all my suspension were confirmed. He pontificated from his taxpayer subsidized ivory tower of the uneducated voters in "parts of the country." That terrorism was "all our fault". That right-of-center thought was "dangerous to the country"....that we should be more like our enlightened neighbors to the north.  

Now, late in life with his fortune secure, he eloquently speaks of the election on behalf of the "correct" people in America.  And whether he knows it or not, he has reached heights of fame he never dreamed:  Diogenes' AssHat of the Year...... Garrison Keillor.



NB - Longtime National Public Radio star Garrison Keillor just finished four decades on state-subsidized radio on A Prairie Home Companion. For almost that long, he's been an easy example of a pretentious liberal snob, precisely the kind who seriously loathes a Donald Trump. If NPR ever wanted to wonder why they haven't been granted a Trump interview, it's because he knows NPR is an elite liberal sandbox for people who congratulate themselves on their marvelous taste and mental acuity.

So when Keillor penned an acidulous character assassination of Trump for the Chicago Tribune, the liberals were very pleased. At Vox.com, they raved "Most pundits who attack Trump denounce him as racist, dangerous, and authoritarian. But Keillor does something that is probably much more likely to get under the billionaire’s skin: He makes him look pathetic."
"The cap does not look good on you, it's a duffer's cap, and when you come to the microphone, you look like the warm-up guy, the guy who announces the license number of the car left in the parking lot, doors locked, lights on, motor running. The brim shadows your face, which gives a sinister look, as if you'd come to town to announce the closing of the pulp factory. Your eyes look dead and your scowl does not suggest American greatness so much as American indigestion. Your hair is the wrong color: People don't want a president to be that shade of blond...." 
Then comes the snobbery, that Trump's obnoxious show of wealth is overcompensating for never being cool with the Jews:
"The New York Times treats you like the village idiot. This is painful for a Queens boy trying to win respect in Manhattan where the Times is the Supreme Liberal Jewish Anglican Arbiter of Who Has The Smarts and What Goes Where. When you came to Manhattan 40 years ago, you discovered that in entertainment, the press, politics, finance, everywhere you went, you ran into Jews, and they are not like you: Jews didn't go in for big yachts and a fleet of aircraft — they showed off by way of philanthropy or by raising brilliant offspring. To the Times, Queens is Cleveland. Bush league. You are Queens. The casinos were totally Queens, the gold faucets in your triplex, the bragging, the insults, but you wanted to be liked by Those People. You wanted Mike Bloomberg to invite you to dinner at his townhouse. You wanted the Times to run a three-part story about you, that you meditate and are a passionate kayaker and collect 14th-century Islamic mosaics. You wish you were that person but you didn't have the time...."
"You didn't have the time" to be an enlightened progressive". Keillor imagines that Trump is a very unhappy billionaire, and that nobody likes him, nobody who matters:
"You own a lot of big houses and you wander around in them, followed by a waiter, a bartender, a masseuse, three housekeepers, and a concierge, and they probably gossip about you behind your back. Just like nine-tenths of your campaign staff. You're losing and they know it and they're telling mean stories about you to everybody and his brother. You toss out those wisecracks on Twitter and the Earth shakes and your ratings among white suburban women with French cookware declined. The teleprompter is not your friend. You are in the old tradition of locker room ranting and big honkers in the steam room, sitting naked, talking man talk, griping about the goons and ginks and lousy workmanship and the uppity broads and the great lays and how you vanquished your enemies at the bank.
Meanwhile, you keep plugging away. It's the hardest work you've ever done. You walk out in the white cap and you rant for an hour about stuff that means nothing and the fans scream and wave their signs and you wish you could level with them for once and say one true thing: I love you to death and when this is over I will have nothing that I want...."

Surprisingly vicious for a red shoed ninnymuggins wouldn't you say?

The DMF Asshat of the Year 'Lifetime Achivement Award'

It's been awhile since we have awarded the honor of 'Ass Hat of the Year' at DMF. The main reason being that in the later years of the Obama administration there has been so many qualified candidates in politics and the media falling out of the trees we simply could not narrow it down to one.  But with the sunset soon to descend on the career of one special Ass Hat of note, we must take this opportunity to recognize his stupendous Ass Hattery as we prepare to say goodbye good riddance

Our award winner came to national prominence in 2004 after the citizens of the great state of South Dakota came to their senses and booted off the public payroll (because they had grown increasingly frustrated by his aggressive opposition to most of George W's legislative initiatives and judicial nominations) the former King of the Senate Democrats, that vile and corrupt little man Tom Daschle. The dem's then chose as there Grand Poobah  the socially conservative, pro-life pro-gun Senator from Nevada.

The Stormin' Mormon, Dingy Harry Reid.

Harry was an odd choice for an odd time. It was the dark days of the Bush years: tax cuts for everyone and burning Dixie Chicks CDs and bombing the shit out of the crazy Muslim's sandbox.   

In 2006, Harry became the true exalted  King of the Senate Democrats, The Majority Leader. He quickly shed his cloak of moderation and became the consummate obstructionist of all and everything Republican. 



In 2008 Harry was a major force in backing as a candidate for President the black guy of which he described as: "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Harry soon began, with the help of his House pal Nancy Pelosi, ramming the Negro with no Negro dialect agenda down the throats of America.

At some point, age began to catch up with Harry. He began to say stupid things, even for a King of the Senate Democrats.  Who can forget that strange and bizarre press conference during the 2012 election of which out of the blue Harry said this about Mitt Romney:  
“He didn’t pay taxes for 10 years! Now, do I know that that’s true? Well, I’m not certain,”
After Republicans seized control of the Senate in the devastating midterm election of 2014, Senate Majority Leader Harry was demoted once again to the lowly Senate Minority Leader position from which he came. The demotion was devastating and the slide into crazy became fast and steep. 



Harry began ranting and raving daily, in almost all his time at the Senate podium obsessing about the Koch Brothers. Day after day, speech after speech the ugly face of Koch addiction reared it's head until even some in the media started to question Harry's condition.



Then last year, tragedy stuck. While in his bathroom the little boxer got roughed up by getting on the bad side of his exercise resistance band named Vinnie. It beat him up pretty good, breaking a number of ribs and bones in his face, but seems to have cured his Koch addiction in the process. He should stop working out with big Italian guys.



Then last March, Dingy Harry announced he was retiring from the Senate. It must be a bitch for a power hungry politician to be regulated to second string.  But his constituents are grateful. A brothel in Nevada with an extinctive sex menu has offered to host Harry's retirement party to thank him for efforts that have “positively affected” the hookers of Nevada and health care for their tools of the trade.

The way we look at it, if Ted Kennedy was the "Lion of the Senate" Dingy Harry was the "Turd in the Punch bowl". And if you're driving through Nevada and see some guy in sunglasses mumbling and wander around aimlessly in the desert, just keep driving.......

NYT's Paul Krugman Proves Once Again Why He is Always in the Running for AssHat of the Year.

Paul Krugman - Two Time Winner of Diogenes' "AssHat of the Year" Award

Hillary's 'Email Thing Doesn't Rise to the Level of a 'Scandal.' 

NewsBusters
Paul Krugman's Monday New York Times column hit all of the sweet spots that make liberals smile, defending both President Obama and Hillary Clinton while bashing President Bush and the current crop of Republican presidential candidates. And what of the Democrats? Well, Hillary's "email thing doesn’t rise to the level of a 'scandal.'" Meanwhile, "the modern GOP is basically anti-rational analysis; it’s at war not just with the welfare state but with the Enlightenment."  
Plus: Last week, after being annoyed that he was being treated by some as a partisan hack, despite his stellar "analysis and track record," he insulted libertarian economist Stephen Moore on his nytimes.com blog. 
After claiming Monday that none of Obama's alleged "Katrina" moments were disasters after all, and marking Obamacare as "a huge success," he turned viciously on the tenure of President George W. Bush.   
"Beyond that, Katrina was special in political terms because it revealed such a huge gap between image and reality. Ever since 9/11, former President George W. Bush had been posing as a strong, effective leader keeping America safe. He wasn’t. But as long as he was talking tough about terrorists, it was hard for the public to see what a lousy job he was doing. It took a domestic disaster, which made his administration’s cronyism and incompetence obvious to anyone with a TV set, to burst his bubble...."   
On Hillary Clinton keeping sensitive government documents on her personal server while serving as Secretary of State, well, that doesn't even deserve the term "scandal." 
"I know, now I’m supposed to be evenhanded, and point out equivalent figures on the Democratic side. But there really aren’t any; in modern America, cults of personality built around undeserving politicians seem to be a Republican thing. True, some liberals were starry-eyed about Mr. Obama way back when, but the glitter faded fast, and what was left was a competent leader with some big achievements under his belt – most notably, an unprecedented drop in the number of Americans without health insurance. And Hillary Clinton is the subject of a sort of anti-cult of personality, whose most ordinary actions are portrayed as nefarious. (No, the email thing doesn’t rise to the level of a “scandal.”)...." 
An August 28 blog post at nytimes.com found the esteemed-economist turned Democratic hack in an arrogant and defensive mood, calling the tech elite "stupid" for failing to see the badness radiating in waves off the Republican Party and its medieval mindset. 
....In fact, policies that the tech elite support, like carbon taxes, are supported only by the left wing of the Democratic Party; the entire Republican Party is controlled by climate denialists, and anti-science types more broadly. And in general the modern GOP is basically anti-rational analysis; it’s at war not just with the welfare state but with the Enlightenment.

The 2012/2013 Nominees for Diogenes' Asshat of the Year

2011 Winner - Paul Krugman
Note:  There was no  Diogenes' Asshat of the Year award for 2012. Being a election year the field was way to wide to pick through a plethora of sleazy, lying, clueless, incompetent and corrupt candidates eligible for the title.

Another Note: I chose not to include Piers Morgan in my list as I thought it not proper to pick on such a clueless foreign dolt as Mr. Morgan. He is in a class of his own.

So without further ado, here are the nominees:

President Barack Obama: Odds on favorite and front runner. No surprise here. The “I didn’t know” community organizer in chief spoke to his Democratic liberal far left wing base, claiming there is no global war on Islamic terrorism and about closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay Cuba.  This ostrich-like, head in the sand, foreign policy speech that ignores radical Islamic fanatics was given to distract attention from the Benghazi cover-up; IRS targeting conservative and Tea Party non-profit groups; and the Department of Justice persecution of Associated Press (AP)/Fox News Channel scandals. We also spot him some points for Joe Biden.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney: He received the coveted 4-Pinocchio award from The Washington Post (not a conservative newspaper) Fact Checker on many occasions for defending the presidential scandals indicated previously.  He obviously took to heart the part in the job description about becoming a professional weasel, and he's good at it. It is rumored that the maker of Viagra has inquired as to how Mr. Carney’s nose keeps getting longer each time.

Attorney General Eric Holder: A recluse who has discovered the words “I recused myself” (same as I didn’t know) when it comes to the AP/Fox News Channel scandal. Then why did the AG personally sign off on the search warrant of Fox News Channel reporter James Rosen’s emails? Let’s also not forget the Fast and Furious gun walking scandal.
Mr. Holder is one of the  crowning achievements of Affirmative Action.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: This politician who wants to be elected the first woman president in 2016 said “It was so long ago” referencing the September 11, 2012 date when the American Ambassador to Libya, an embassy staffer and two Special Forces operators were murdered.  Had the worst Secretary of State in history  broke a few lamps
here and there around the world  like she did as first lady, we wouldn't be worrying about racial Islam so much.

UN Ambassador Susan Rice: The fabricated talking points about the Benghazi Embassy Islamic terrorist attack she was given to espouse on the Sunday talk shows were a charade to hide the incompetent Obama administration’s failed Islamic terrorism policy. Her subsequent arrogance to the American people daring to question being fed a load of bullshit by the Obama administration was an act to behold. I see a future for her in soap operas.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: Speaking from the US Senate floor he blamed a 2.4% funds sequestration for causing people to die of cancer, contract athletes foot, water turning to blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock disease, incurable boils, hail and thunder, locusts, darkness and death of the first-born.

Senators Chuck Schumer, Al Franken and Carl Levin: This gaggle of three Senators (Snoop, clueless and Poop) wrote a letter to the IRS asking this agency to investigate non-profit tax exempt Americans for Prosperity (AFP), Tea Party groups, Republicans, Diogenes Middle Finger and other right of center groups. Non-profit progressive, liberal and left groups were conspicuously absent from their correspondence. Oops!

Ex Governor Mark Sanford: Oh my God (sorry ACLU), a Republican among all these liberal Democrats! The good news is that a US House seat in South Carolina didn’t go Democratic. The bad news is that Mark Sanford is sitting in it. However, Mark has one and a half years in Congress till November 2014 to redeem himself for committing adultery, just like former President Bill Clinton!

Ex Congressman Anthony Weiner: The former congressman, who resigned from his seat after being embroiled in an uncovered wiener related scandal two years ago, announced he’s entering the New York City (NYC) mayoral race. He also said there could be women coming forward with more emails and photos of my hot wiener, but I’m going to try to keep being focused on issues that are important to NYC.  A survey of 49% of NYC voters indicates he’s gone soft and shouldn’t run!

IRS Official Lois Lerner: Invoked the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution (not incriminating oneself) at a US House committee hearing, but not before saying in a statement that she had not done anything wrong or broken any laws. Sorry lady, you’re big mouth may have just legally screwed yourself. She had signed IRS letters improperly targeting Tea Party groups in 2012 asking them to turn over everything from printouts of their Facebook pages to the credentials of speakers who participated in their events. However, US taxpayers also got screwed as she has been suspended with pay.

Sarah Hall Ingram: Served as commissioner of the IRS office responsible for tax-exempt organizations involved in the current IRS scandal (2009 to 2012). Ms. Ingram has since left that section of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’s “Affordable Care Act” office. Bend over and smile.


Journalist or Reverend or something, Al Sharpton: Let’s have a prayer (sorry ACLU) for both true journalists and real clergymen as Al is neither, but tries to inflame any situation by inserting himself into a news story and then asserts everything is due to “racism.” Al ordered a wiener (not Weiner) and it was served without mustard, calling the dark skinned, counter woman a racist.  Al missed his calling as a ghetto used car salesman.
He's so good with words.

Asshat of the Year: Are Republicans ‘Manchurian Candidates’?

Oh, How original be he......
On Friday’s basement dwelling MSNBC's  Martin Bashir show, New York Times economic columnist Paul Krugman added new dimensions to the art of hyperbolic overstatement when he wondered aloud whether the GOP in Congress wholly consisted of moles attempting to “bring down America” from within. When asked by Bashir if House Majority Leader Rep. John Boehner was working to “further undermine America’s standing” in his efforts to insist that the debt ceiling not be raised again without accompanying spending cuts, Krugman agreed and said “Sometimes you do wonder if these guys are moles –Manchurian Candidates – for I don’t know who.”
Krugman stated that President Barack Obama had correctly embraced the counterintuitive notion that the way to avoid succumbing to the fate of debt-laden Greece is to "run an unsustainable high national debt." In Mr. Krugman's world there is never enough taxation and government spending despite the common knowledge Keynesian economics is proven a failure. 
No Mr. Krugman, I suggest you stick your head out of that Ivory Tower and really look at what your chosen savior has done to this country.

It has been said repeatedly, but only because it so often bears repeating, that it was Krugman who took to his blog in the New York Times hours after Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot through the head by an extremist, to blame the episode on Republicans. And for his 9/11 Anniversary column was awarded the prestigious Diogenes' 2011 AssHat of the Year Award  by unanimous vote.
Once again Mr. Krugman, My Middle Finger Salutes You!

The Votes Are In - 'AssHat of the Year 2011'

I know the year is not yet come to an end and it's not the traditional time for yearly awards, but after reading the New York Times piece (included below in it's entirety) no further consideration was needed to decide this years  winner of Diogenes' prestigious
" AssHat of the Year Award"

None of our other nominees, professional moonbat Michael Moore, not a rambling, angry jerk like Roger Ebert, or even the semi insane MSNBC host "Special Ed" Schultz , all World Class AssHats in their own right, could measure up to the level of AssHattery of this years winner. Famously known for his leftist tripe, valiant defense of the indefensible economic and domestic policies of Barack Obama, and his exploitation of national tragedies, among other things, we see a clear winner.

You can read our original nomination here: American AssHat


The vote was unanimous today after viewing 
his shameful NYT 9/11  post.


So, without further ado, 
we present 
this years winner......



  
 "ASSHAT of the YEAR 2011" 
Paul Krugman of the NYT
(Anthropological Classification - Bozo Sapien)  
  
I have come to the conclusion after spending much time trying to decide if it's really possible for someone to be so willfully blind, so consistently on the wrong side of just about every subject upon which he feels compelled to put pen to paper, ignoring facts or logic, without there being an underlying disdain for America and all she stands for, and the well being of his fellow countryman.  
But this is what sealed it for me......... 

by Paul Krugman - Sept 11,2011
________________
Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued?
Actually, I don’t think it’s me, and it’s not really that odd.
What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not — was deeply shameful. The atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons.
A lot of other people behaved badly. How many of our professional pundits — people who should have understood very well what was happening — took the easy way out, turning a blind eye to the corruption and lending their support to the hijacking of the atrocity?
The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it.
I’m not going to allow comments on this post, for obvious reasons. 
[snip]

Mr. Krugman, saying " I’m not going to allow comments on this post, for obvious reasons" are probably the wisest words you've spoken in a long time.  But seriously man, how do you sleep at night?

S & P Downgrades MSNBC Host's IQ

Nominee for Diogenes' 2011 Asshat of the Year


In light of resent idiotic statements, Standard and Poor’s took the unprecedented action today of downgrading media personality Special Ed Schultz IQ. While the effects of such an extraordinary measure are hard to predict, experts say the IQ downgrade could result in Schultz having difficulty completing sentences, operating a television remote and excessive drooling.

 Ed and Edith Schultz 
Insiders at MSNBC, the unruly little bastard brother of the once respected NBC News, says Schlutz recent psychotic outbursts and rambling diatribes against anyone on the right is in some part his attempt to remain ahead of the networks newest ratings sensation, the always eloquent cultural pundit and International Geopolitical expert, Al Sharpton. At this writing, they seem to be in a heated race to the bottom of the cable ratings. 

Schultz's twin sister Edith Schultz Hayes, wife of Marvin Ashcott Hayes, the heir to the Tampon fortune told Diogenes the family all think Ed is "very special", but fear he may come unglued right there on the air. "Eddy and I grew up poor" she said, and that Ed was sometime forced to wear Edith's clothes. "That and eating his boogers kinda made Ed a little twisted, ya know."

We Know He's a Classless Jerk, But......

Nominee for Diogenes' 2011 Asshat of the Year


Roger Ebert
Techdirt - There’s been a lot of talk recently about issues concerning “corporate censorship” after Facebook shut down Roger Ebert’s page, supposedly because some people complained about his comments (on Twitter, not Facebook) concerning a death, which some took offense to. A lot of people are jumping on the “censorship” bandwagon, and part of it makes me wonder if we need a different word. When a private company “censors,” it’s quite different from when a government “censors,” and using the same word often leads to confusion.

But, perhaps a larger point of this is how private companies now have tremendous say over what speech they will and will not allow. That’s legal, but it leads to certain arbitrariness, as was demonstrated here, with many people thinking Facebook went too far. The company later tried to claim it was a “mistake,” but not many people seem to believe that.

However, I think where this gets more interesting is in raising a separate issue: the total pointlessness and arbitrariness of the “jerk patrol.” Some people apparently disliked Ebert’s comments. That’s fair enough, but does a few “offended” people mean he should lose his account? That’s what makes lots of people quite uncomfortable. As it should. And yet, as all of this is happening, there are all these efforts to try to criminalize being a “jerk” online. But, as this little kerfuffle shows, what is and what is not “a jerk” or “offensive” is totally subjective, in most cases, and offending one person is hardly a reason to take action against the speaker. It’s too bad that Facebook doesn’t seem to recognize that, but it’s even scarier when governments pass laws without understanding it.
____________________________________________ 

I personally think Roger Ebert is a pompous toad.  But sadly enough, the offended get the long shrift. The idea that we can maintain a society of unoffended people and call it civil is an abomination to creative thought, to vibrant give and take. It insults the individual at the expense of the many.

American Asshat: Michael Moore

Nominee for Diogenes' 2011 Asshat of the Year 


Michael, Michael, Michael. 
It's rare indeed that I agree with you on anything. However, recently you did say something that did make me nod my head in agreement.  During a recent interview, you said the following:
"They're sitting on the money, they're using it for their own ….they're putting it someplace else with no interest in helping you with your life, with that money. We've allowed them to take that. That's not theirs, that's a national resource, that's ours. We all have this -- we all benefit from this or we all suffer as a result of not having it."

At first Michael, I scoffed at the notion. After all, as a conservative and an unrepentant capitalist pig, why would I support the collective ownership of wealth?  Then came the epiphany. You're absolutely right, Michael. The rich should share their wealth with everyone. And I can think of no better person to lead by example than, well, you.


Moore, just before the chair collapses
According to CelebrityWealth.com , your net worth is estimated to be somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 million. Granted, that's not Bill Gates kinda cash, but it's not too shabby for a self promoting asshole like yourself.  So, as one of the "common people" you so love to claim to represent, I believe I'm entitled to at least some of that nest egg.

For example, I have accumulated a few medical bills over the past few months. As the champion of the "little guy" in your film "Sicko" as you took on the health care system in America, I think it only fair for a rich guy like you to whip out the checkbook and pay them for me. I also have a little credit card debt. (that last trip to the Virgin Islands got a little outa hand, know what I'm sayin') As the champion of the "little guy" in your film "Capitalism: A Love Story” you took on big banks and Wall street and the way they are screwing us all. And today you had this to say: 
"America isn't broke. The money's just not in the people's hands. It's in the hands of the rich, the rich who committed these crimes back on Wall Street and they got away with it."
So I think you outa be more than willing to pay off my debt and get me out from under their thumb. Right?

More importantly, think of the good example you'd be setting for wealthy people of your political persuasion.


Babs Streisand Relaxing at Home
Why, I'm sure Barbara Streisand would be more than willing to hand over her...I mean our money to people like me. Afterall, she lives in disgusting opulence and is only going to keep it for herself, right? Ditto with Oprah, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and other celebrities who swing to the left. All they need is just someone to lead them.I believe that someone is you, Michael.

So, I propose we meet and hammer out the specifics of this arrangement. Let's say, a nice steakhouse in New York City maybe?  You can pay for me to fly out there, put me up in a really nice hotel and be kind enough to pick up the entire tab without so much as a second thought. 
   
After all, it's our money, right Michael?


But what really upset me today Michael, was your uncivil words and angry rhetoric I thought you and your leftist buddies so abhor these days:
"I just want to say, anybody who lives within driving distance of Madison, Wisc., right now should make their way to the capital. I would love to see thousands of people there right now, there in that capital building, in the rotunda, out on the lawn, whatever it takes. I mean, really, this is really, this is war. This is a class war that's been leveled against the working people of this country and at some point people are going to just have to stand up and say, non-violently, this is enough. We're not taking it anymore. ..." 
Your shameless opportunist call for more disruption of the  business of government in Madison Wisconsin shows a lack of understanding of the issues and the common asshattery prevalent in your kind of mentality.
   
And in my book, you will always be the premier pustule on the ass of the nation.
