Hello, and welcome to the very first SteveYoungOnPolitics.com Y’Gotta Be Kiddin’ Award Ceremony.
Named after legendary Danish Mayor, Yugotz Tabekiddin, who once took credit for ending a civil dispute he had started in the village of Ikea, due to every man, man and woman relocating to Copenhagen, the Y’Gotta Be Kiddin’ Award is presented weekly to the person who epitomizes Tabkiddin’s spectacular balls by thinking that anyone in their right mind could possibly buy their line of pure, unprocessed crap.
We’ll be presenting the award every week until we run out of people or organizations who deserve the recognition.
Our very first awardee is the man who this week stood before the war and said that, as leader of the party that for most of the past eight years lead this country into an unnecessary and deadly war, produced economic ruin and lost every iota of world’s empathy after 9-11, he and his party should be kept in power. And to make sure he sewed up the award, his first major decision as presidential nominee of his party was to select the person who would be at the ready to step in if he was unable to carry out his term and become the leader of the most powerful country in history. That person was Sarah Palin.
Congratulations Senator McCain. For your sheer ineptitude, ignorance and incompetence achieved with such distinction that one cannot say anything other than..."Y’GOTTA BE KIDDIN’," this one’s for you.
