Give Hillary a Medal
WANTED: CREATIVE THINKING
You are all no doubt familiar with Hillary Clinton's discredited claim that she embarked at the Tuzla Air Base under sniper fire and had to run for it. I believe this points out the need for a medal for public persons who claim to have been in danger, and weren't. But we need a name for this decoration.
An example: Some months ago there was a contest to name the Clinton's house in Chappaqua. The winner was, I believe, "Disgraceland." Now we need you all to kick the dung heaps of your minds and see what slithers out. I will pick a winner, if there is one, and accord him great glory on this very blog.
Well, I wanted to contribute 2 possible entries. How about the perfidious award of valor or maybe the vainglorious metal of honor? Anyway, if this shrew gets elected I'm moving to Austratlia.

The Pinocchio Honesty Award

How about the "Mendacious Bravery Award". You could also award one to Bill Clinton for standing up to the "Vast right-wing conspiracy" during his impeachment.

A couple ideas: "The WiRNMeT," as in "Will Rogers Never Met Them."
Another idea: it could just be called "Our Fault." (Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.)

The American Award for Exceptional Pretentiousness
Posted by: George Cook | March 26, 2008 at 12:13 PM
This is great! Create the "Order of the Wishful Weasel". It comes in three grades, Black or First Class, Tan or Second Class and Grey or Thrid Class, reflecting the degree of the lie and its believability. Grey, the lowest level can have the weasel poking his/her nose from around the corner of a chicken coop. Tan, the weasel has exposed half of his/her profile around the corner of the coop. Black, the weasel appears in front of the coop, rampant, with feathers near its mouth. Place a white chicken coop on a black background inorder to see the weasels better. It should be obvious from observing the medal that the activities are taking place at night so a few stars above the top of the coop could help.

The first annual 'they must think we're stupid' award. But I can understand her getting confused... I mean those kids she was with probably took her on a snipe hunt... and she just got it confused with snipers, right??

The Medal of Misrememberment
Posted by: jack | March 26, 2008 at 12:35 PM
Call it the "Honest Abe Award" or "Total Waste of Life" or "Pea Shooter".

"National Donkey" (Donkey can be substituted with @$$)
Even if she was under fire those snipers must have stunk. Hillary is slow mentally and physically.

I can’t hold a candle to the previous entries.
I would give: “The 3 AM Red Telephone Medal”
Poor Hillary. Her Party is now beginning to call for her to drop out.
