Here’s some cheery news while the nation collapses: Gossip website Jossip has crowned our very own Mayor Adrian Fenty as America’s Least Loathsome Politician!
The selection process for this award seems a tad arbitrary, but Fenty’s main qualification appears to be that he was “able to host the inauguration without anyone getting killed.” Which, um, isn’t exactly true. And he also shares his tolerability crown with Suze Orman, who, curiously, is loathsome.
The 5 Least Loathsome People on Our Radar [Jossip]
Loathsome…I can never remember…is that good or bad?
I’m pretty sure some DC United fans might disagree
Least loathsome politician is the new clean coal.
When I read this in my febicle at work I couldn’t believe it. I nearly spit out my fecumber salad. Call me a feckoo, but there has to be a worst politician around than this Fenty guy.
“Least loathsome” = “I want to sleep with you”
cal: that’s exactly what I was thinking
A modest distinction, like “world’s largest microchip” or “most luxurious Ford Escort,” or “no known back-taxes problems.”
So, he’s Good and Fenty, eh?
I’d hit it.
SayItWithWookies: So does that mean the results of all of his actions will be sequestered underground, hopefully never to be released upon the world? For a politician, that sounds like a good idea no matter how loathsome.
Also.
yeah suze orman is kind of loathsome, she’s not at a nancy grace level (few people are) but she’s sure as hell annoying. fenty would win for hottest bald politician, i can’t really think of who the competition would be.
Hart88: whoa, probably first footie shout-out on Wonkette. +1
loudmouthredhead: More like what V3.1415927 said — a thinly disguised oxymoron. Or like “least loathsome gossip blog name,” which would be Jossip.
Politician it would be the least gross to give a tugjob?
That’s what we mean, right?
Scarab: Haha. I see what you did there. That was pretty fete.
Schadenfried: “I’d hit it.”
That’s always what I mean when I say someone is the “least loathsome” option. And, yes, I’d give him a Monica.
Scarab: You mean he’s banging Cindy McCain?
Hart88: I want to sprinkle sesame seeds on his forehead because I think he is a shitburger sandwich. Also, he’s a liar and a thief. But perhaps sometime in the future I will tell you how I really feel. DC would not now own poplar point if it weren’t for the millions spent loobying congress to introduce a bill to give it up to the city. Those millions came from the soccer team.
The soccer teeam wanted to build and PAY FOR it’s own stadium there as long as the city ran the plumbing and electrics to it. Fenty was very enthused to build the staduim (when he was running for mayor and taking donations from DC United), then, got elected and changed his tune. Cannot trust him. Also, how stupid is that? DC was going to pay for the stadium, the hotel, the condos, the works. If I lived in ward 8, i’d be pretty upset at the loss of 1,000 permanent, decent jobs that would’ve come from a black-owned business.
Baconcat: Yeah, right. Because these Please-build-us-a-stadium-Mr-Taxpayer deals always pay off big time. For the team owner.
What about Bommy? He’s not loathsome at all!
V572625694: Yeah, it would pay off for MacFarlane. And the city. This ain’t a baseball stadium where perceived value for 3/4 of a billion dollars is ‘laughter in children’ or some shit like that. The value would be raised taxes, jobs revenue as well as lower crime. Also, United has been keeping RFK afloat and paying the city 2+ million a year for the privilege.
In the end though, United got the city the property, the city offered United a stadium and then reneged, why? FENTY.
S’ok, the stadium will be nice but not as nice in PG County. Don’t come crying to me however, when Dan Snyder ass-rapes the city for a new stadium where RFK is.
