Awards Season

As another year end quickly approaches, the inevitable lists of the best of this (and also the worst of that) are appearing on TV, in the newspapers and on the Internet. BTW, early "buzz" for a Best Actor Oscar nomination is for Mickey Rourke (remember him?)in The Wrestler. But generally the winners are pretty predictable. So TNB, in an effort to change the dynamic, hereby announces the first annual AB awards (for AB-NORMAL of course). Following are the categories and nominees. Any reader of The Normal Blog is eligible to vote, even multiple times (after all, you know where TNB is from). Send in your E-Mails or post a comment. Results will be announced in early January 2009 (while W. is still President).

DUMBEST GOVERNOR:
Rod Blagojevich
Sarah Palin

1. Dumbest Gov: Sarah Palin. I assume that Blago and Spitzer know that Africa is a continent.
2. Dumbest Sen: Ted Stevens. Poor Larry was just trying to make a friend and as long as Blago is outta there, the IL senator should be fine.
3. Dumbest Pres: yup
4. Jews are proudest of: Einstein. Streisand is insufferable and I know nothing about sports.
5. Ashamed of: Madoff. The cause of the end of so many worthwhile charities. A shanda.
6. None of the above.
7. Lieberman. A traitor is worse than an ignoramus.
8. I'm not equipped to comment.
9. TNB, mais oui!!

Just want to know what kind of Awards Show TNB is going to have and what kind of awards he will give out? The Normals? The Abnormals? Who would televise it? Comedy Central? Sign me up... I have my gown ready and my manicure appointment booked. But who to host? A Jew, a disgraced Governor or a dumb Senator? Or Joe Lieberman? Two out of three!
