Top Idiots of the Week Awards

As Michigan leads the nation in unemployment and businesses are leaving the state in a massive exodus, Gov. Jennifer Granholm showed she was hard at work by proclaiming Saturday as "Shake Your Mailbox Day." She's encouraging people with roadside mailboxes to give them a good shake to help prepare for winter snowplowing.

Did you know the United States Constitution doesn't have a Preamble? Well, that's what the oh so arrogant, high and mighty MSNBC host Rachel Maddow told her audience Thursday night..

A 20-year-old Boca Raton man fell five stories from a balcony after he attempted to show someone he could climb from one story down to the next. Ouch.

Red-faced United Nations officials sheepishly admitted to a major security lapse after a UN guard helped Kentucky Fried Chicken's "Colonel Sanders" gain access to restricted areas.

MOST IDIOTIC STATEMENTS:

WINNER:

Our very own President Obama wins the top spot this week. He stated at a Miami fundraiser that House Speaker "Pelosi is one of the greatest speakers of all times." $1.5 million was raised, begging the question: who are the real idiots?

RUNNER-UP:

The Chairman of the National Endowment For The Arts, Scott Johnson, actually said "Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar." (No kudos were given to Obama's ghostwriter, domestic terrorist Bill Ayers)

HONORABLE MENTION:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , one of the 'greatest speakers of all time,' declared after the GOP sweep last week: "From our perspective, we won last night." Looks like the left has redefined reality, once again..

Obama makes our list yet again for this whopper - he actually claimed with a straight face last week that his 'stimulus' package was responsible for saving and/or creating over 1 million jobs. His figures were quickly, and thoroughly debunked. Followed a couple days later by the news that our unemployment rate just topped 10%. Duh.

Idiot Joy Behar took to the airwaves deriding conservatives as "immature bullies who smell bad and pick their noses and Obama is the smart kid in class who knows all the answers but keeps letting the bullies push him around." So there!

The former Police front-man told the Associated Press that he believes that Obama is a gift from Heaven, delivered to shepherd the befuddled masses to providence. "In many ways, he's sent from God," Sting said in an interview with the AP.

STUPID CRIMINALS:

A one legged man was an immediate suspect when a store attendant found one shoe missing from a shop in the western Belgian town of Maldegem. Thankfully, the shoe was recovered. The amputee is now waiting for the other shoe to drop.

A 22 year-old Arizona man was arrested for trying to smuggle 52 pounds of marijuana INTO Mexico.

A Florida man is behind bars after investigators say he got drunk and drove a stolen lawnmower into the back of a school bus.

A robber who smuggled a bag of his own excrement into a courtroom and threw it at the jury has been sentenced to 31 years in jail, for both his robbery and his poo-flinging.

JUST PLAIN WEIRD:

Surgeons in Rotterdam, Holland, removed 78 different items of cutlery from Margaret Daalmans's stomach after she came to hospital complaining of stomach pains - giving new definition to fans of Heavy Metal.

A Sicilian builder transferred from prison to house arrest tried to get himself locked up again to escape arguments with his wife at home.

A 29-year-old man who claimed he was attacked and stabbed by three people - skinheads or Hispanic males - confessed Monday night that he stabbed himself because he didn't want to go to work. He probably thought ObamaCare had already passed.

A 112 year-old Somali man married a 17 year-old girl. "I didn't force her, but used my experience to convince her of my love, and then we agreed to marry." The bride's family said she was "happy with her new husband."

A devout Muslim woman from Pakistan who wed a fellow countryman who did not share her faith tried to stab him to death as he slept in their Staten Island home because she claimed he forced her to drink alcohol, eat pork and dress provocatively. That dirty dog!

A passenger enjoying a civilian joyride accidentally cut the trip short when he ejected himself from the plane after grabbing the eject lever while trying to brace himself. Oops.

Till next week, keep smiling,
