Close Race for this Week’s BOW Award!
May 17, 2008
Time for this week’s BOW (Buffoon Of the Week) Award, and I’m happy to report that with the arrival of warmer weather buffoonery appears to be in full bloom across the nation. Huzzah!
It started early, with something you may have heard about on The Daily Show the other night. As many of you know, the Republicans lost a special election in Mississippi this past Tuesday, failing to hold a seat that had been in GOP hands for more than a decade in a district that George Bush carried in 2004 by a double digit margin. This was the third time this spring the Republicans have lost special Congressional elections in strongly red districts (the other two races were in Louisiana and Dennis Hastert’s old district in Illinois). In the wake of yet another special election disaster, the Republicans decided that they needed to change their image and fast. So they unveiled a new party slogan: “The Change You Deserve” Okay, never mind the ridiculousness of touting yourself as the party of change when you’ve been running the Federal Government for the past seven years. Turns out the slogan is already taken. The good people at Wyeth Pharmaceuticals have used that slogan for their powerful prescription anti-depressant, Effexor (TM). It also turns out that some users of the drug have been experiencing severe and unpleasant side-effects, including nightmares, anxiety, insomnia, and memory loss. Actually, the GOP’s new slogan might be appropriate after all….
