Who Should Win These Terrible Conservative Dinner Awards?

by Jim Newell  

CPAC is this week! Have you bleached your American flag yet? Your Wonkette has and is looking forward to attending the world’s greatest annual conservative conference later this week. But until then: The pre-parties: What are they? Let’s take a look at the invitation someone forwarded us to this thing, the The Paul Weyrich Awards Dinner — Wednesday night! — which “honors those who have made a major contribution to advancing the cause of liberty through organizations and media and whose work reflects beliefs, principles and convictions that are harmonious with Paul’s own values.” Yet K-Lo only gets one nomination? We’re picking winners right now.

FIRST CATEGORY: Media Person of the Year! We’re pulling for Jizzy.

SECOND CATEGORY: Internet monster of the year. This is an easy selection. (Sorry, Erick and the third thing.)

THIRD CATEGORY: Best local overseer. Let’s go for the Mexican-ish one.

FOURTH CATEGORY: Fappiest tycoon. Are Foster Friess as tasty as Freedom Friess? There’s only one way to find out. Sorry, Kochsucker.

There are some other categories but they’re not total self-parody level funny.

Who is Breibart going to molest this year without Riley to attack?

Lucidamente1 February 6, 2012 at 2:14 pm

Uh, Jim Newell?

chascates February 6, 2012 at 4:39 pm

James O'Keefe?

Loaded_Pants February 6, 2012 at 6:32 pm

All of them, Katie?

CapnFatback February 6, 2012 at 1:46 pm

"But, no matter who wins here tonight, we can take comfort in knowing that we're all losers."

Lucidamente1 February 6, 2012 at 2:17 pm

The Special Olympics of douchebaggery.

EatsBabyDingos February 6, 2012 at 1:47 pm

Erickkk the Rude and no Jennifer "My Love for Mitt Burns Like Herpes" Rubin? Jenny is so tough she bites the right wings off of live chickens, because "she hates the left wings."

mavenmaven February 6, 2012 at 1:47 pm

Best Furry of the Year?

MOG2410 February 6, 2012 at 1:52 pm

Bachmann, before she waxes.

chicken_thief February 6, 2012 at 2:01 pm

One L or M?!

SpiderCrab February 6, 2012 at 2:48 pm

Kathryn Jean by a hair.

Loaded_Pants February 6, 2012 at 6:33 pm

Of her chinny chinny chin.

Extemporanus February 6, 2012 at 1:47 pm

Koch, Friess, and Culpepper?

Are those nominees, or the Weyrich Awards dinner menu in its original German?

Chillwillard February 6, 2012 at 2:14 pm

Nein, Nein, Nein!

johnnyzhivago February 6, 2012 at 1:47 pm

Nikki Haley for sure! I called down there yesterday and the person who answered said it was a great day in S.C. – which beats the hell out of being here in N.J.

Good Job Nikki – KEEP IT UP! Also thanks for helping GOP establishment candidate Mitt Romney win your state's primary!!!

prommie February 6, 2012 at 2:22 pm

But can you believe that passed over Chris Christie? He's gotta be the most prominent conservative in the US. Or is that what they meant by "prominent?"

Trannysurprise February 6, 2012 at 1:48 pm

FIFTH CATEGORY: Most annoying hypocrite.
Erick Erickson

GOPCrusher February 6, 2012 at 2:52 pm

So many candidates. So little time.

Callyson February 6, 2012 at 3:00 pm

By now, Katie can give *us* the answer to that one…

lulzmonger February 6, 2012 at 1:48 pm

I got yer perfect write-in candidate right HERE.

Imma real happy for you Republicans & imma let you finish, but my brah here had the most successful hostile-takeover-based commercial growth plan of all time.

OF ALL TIME!

banana_bread February 6, 2012 at 1:48 pm

So this is like the Razzies, right?

ChurchofRealism February 6, 2012 at 1:49 pm

What, no Shrill Racist Asshole category, I mean, come on! There are so many to choose from here.

SorosBot February 6, 2012 at 1:53 pm

There are, however, sever several shrill racist asshole nominees – look at Sheriff Joe among the state & local politicians for example.

glamourdammerung February 6, 2012 at 1:53 pm

What, no Shrill Racist Asshole category, I mean, come on!

Weyrich's name is on the event. Or in other words, "uhm, all of them".

lefty74 February 6, 2012 at 1:49 pm

Again Breitbart's hemorrhoid fails to win, place, or show?

johnnyzhivago February 6, 2012 at 1:50 pm

Also a shout out to Erick Erickson for admitting that the reason Republicans watch TV is to hopefully catch footage of people being maimed, tortured or killed.

ChurchofRealism February 6, 2012 at 1:50 pm

Easy, Rush Limbaugh, it's the hairy back and palms that qualify him.

Blueb4sunrise February 6, 2012 at 1:51 pm

Paul is dead.
Paul is dead.
Paul is dead.

Veritas78 February 6, 2012 at 10:13 pm

The best part of these awards? They remind us that this shithead is completely dead, worms have already picked his carcass clean, and the world is a better place.

I can't wait for the Cheney Prizes!

actor212 February 6, 2012 at 1:51 pm

The award for fappiest blog of the year goes to….*tearing*….Andrew Breitbart for Big (fill in the blank)wood!

ChurchofRealism February 6, 2012 at 1:53 pm

Jizz Guzzler, whoops, that's his "secret" blog.

MissTaken February 6, 2012 at 1:51 pm

The Foster Friess has always had the best ice cream cones. Definitely my pick!

SorosBot February 6, 2012 at 1:54 pm

And here I thought Foster Friess were prepared with Australian beer in place of oil.

MissTaken February 6, 2012 at 2:11 pm

Not in California. Here it's ice cream cones made with aborted fetuses. Nom nom yum.

SorosBot February 6, 2012 at 2:18 pm

You trying to make me hungry here? Mmm fetus flavor…

(Also it's too bad Barb's not here for that).

Blueb4sunrise February 6, 2012 at 2:04 pm

They call him 'Bananas'.

actor212 February 6, 2012 at 2:08 pm

I thought it was "Mister"?

Fare la Volpe February 6, 2012 at 1:52 pm

I'm voting Nikki Haley, because she had the common sense to change her race from Asian to White. Conservatives need this kind of innovative thinking to catapult us forward into the 18th century.

chicken_thief February 6, 2012 at 2:02 pm

And it is a great day in South Carolina!

Lionel[redacted]Esq February 6, 2012 at 2:02 pm

Plus she sleeps around. Always a plus in Conservative circles.

Fare la Volpe February 6, 2012 at 2:07 pm

I'm reminded of the old saying: "A slut is a girl who enjoys sex but just won't have it with you."

actor212 February 6, 2012 at 2:08 pm

Silly! Indians are Aryans and you know who else was Aryan????

chicken_thief February 6, 2012 at 2:10 pm

Bobby Jindel?

lulzmonger February 6, 2012 at 2:11 pm

Uriah Heep?

GOPCrusher February 6, 2012 at 2:55 pm

Norwegian death metal bands?

Texan_Bulldog February 6, 2012 at 1:53 pm

That old Leno quote: "Politics is just show business for ugly people" has never been more true. Esp. for K-LO…shudder

Fare la Volpe February 6, 2012 at 1:59 pm

If that's true then how did Leno get into show business?

SorosBot February 6, 2012 at 2:07 pm

Certainly not by being funny.

Allmighty_Manos February 6, 2012 at 1:53 pm

Second Amendment Award of the Year

Jared Lee Loughner
Anders Behring Breivik
Benjamin Colton Barnes

BigDumbRedDog February 6, 2012 at 1:53 pm

Aren't they all way rich?

SorosBot February 6, 2012 at 2:09 pm

Well some of them are just the rubes tricked into voting against their own economic interests.

lulzmonger February 6, 2012 at 2:15 pm

Heed The Great Weyrich!
They are good! They are wise! They know all! They see all!

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE CRONYISM GRAVY-TRAIN BEHIND TEH CURTAIN!

THE GREAT WEYRICH HAS SPOKEN!

Mumbletypeg February 6, 2012 at 1:54 pm

Where is Orly's name? She is surely gnawing her way through the paper bag (that someone hopefully threw over her head) to insist on staking her claim as a Noteable Looptard for the conservative ages.

chicken_thief February 6, 2012 at 2:04 pm

She'll be adding these douchebags to her suit, too. The only question: which font to use?

widestanceshakedown February 6, 2012 at 2:37 pm

Or which fonts not to use?

Sue4466 February 6, 2012 at 1:54 pm

How appropriate that name of the right's media award honors their dedication to running things they way the rich want.

WhatTheHeck February 6, 2012 at 1:54 pm

CPAC “Person of the year” could only be:
“Guns” with “Bible(KJV)” as runner up.

glamourdammerung February 6, 2012 at 1:54 pm

Anyone else remember when Weyrich started the Heritage Foundation and the "Christian Right" as a response to the feds not funding Bob Jones "university" due to their policy of expelling folks for "race-mixing"?

BarackMyWorld February 6, 2012 at 1:55 pm

Satire is dead. Long live satire.

Preacher_Griz February 6, 2012 at 1:57 pm

I will be present to accept the Preacher Griz of the Year Award (interblogger Prophet subcategory) and intend to Praise God and the Lord in my acceptance ceremony for this well-deserved recognition
!! GIL!! PTL!!!

Lionel[redacted]Esq February 6, 2012 at 1:57 pm

What? No mention of the Commodore computer that churns out the same talking points for the right, year after year?

ThundercatHo February 6, 2012 at 1:59 pm

Wow. I thought our current Wonkette overlords were brave with the debate live-blogging but this new guy is actually, physically going to CPAC. This Jim guy must be like the Green Lantern or something.

JustPixelz February 6, 2012 at 2:00 pm

"…advancing the cause of liberty…"

Best New Freedom"?
- need costly voter ID to vote
- PATRIOT Act renewed
- fewer teachers

"Most Pointless Medical Procedure"?
- sonograms before abortion
- drug testing for unemployment
- repeal Obamacare

"Cutest Jailbird"?
- James O'Queef
- John Ensign
- Joe Walsh

Monsieur_Grumpe February 6, 2012 at 2:01 pm

My first thought was where is the Douche Bag of the Galaxy award but with so many people that are incredibly qualified how could one decide between them?

Pres.Beeblebrox February 6, 2012 at 2:01 pm

Yay, Jim "Jim Newell" Newell is back!!!!

ifthethunderdontgetya February 6, 2012 at 2:01 pm

LOL at "New Media Person of the Year"

(Long time ago, at Sadly, No!)
~

chicken_thief February 6, 2012 at 2:08 pm

Lou Sarah shunned again by the lame stream conservative award committee….

actor212 February 6, 2012 at 2:01 pm

Foster Freiss?

I used to love him on those Dean Martin Roasts. He did a great impersonation of drunk!

BZ1 February 6, 2012 at 2:02 pm

No category for biggest gasbag? Lots of candidates lining up…

Steverino247 February 6, 2012 at 2:03 pm

I tried to Google "Paul Weyrich" and got "Did you mean Reinhard Heydrich?"

weej_bain February 6, 2012 at 2:05 pm

May all the nominees enjoy the golden showers they deserve.

chicken_thief February 6, 2012 at 2:07 pm

What? Rush not nominated for Media Person of the Year? Stand by for the fat boy rant in 3…2…1….

lulzmonger February 6, 2012 at 2:28 pm

GASP!
That's so unfair!

Gee, you just defend ONE little teeny-tiny fascist slavery-pimping mass-murdering child rapist on your show as being victimized by Obama, & suddenly somehow you're not a living meat-based metaphor for human perfection any more or something.

Fickle much?!?!?!?

Chillwillard February 6, 2012 at 2:07 pm

And the Lifetime Asshole Award goes to…

natoslug February 6, 2012 at 2:08 pm

ALL OF THEM, KATIE!

Chillwillard February 6, 2012 at 2:16 pm

See? They are all wieners!

lulzmonger February 6, 2012 at 2:08 pm

Oliver North?

BZ1 February 6, 2012 at 2:09 pm

Weyrich: "I don't want everybody to vote…" pretty well says it all

Data Exactly February 6, 2012 at 2:09 pm

I agree with all except the last selection. I could use some Coal Pepper in my sandwich!

Dudleydidwrong February 6, 2012 at 2:09 pm

According to Wicca Pee Dee A (so it must be so) Nikki Haley "finished first in the four-way" that was part of the qualifying action for the Weyrich Awards thingy. Question is, of course, who were the others in this qualifying "four-way"? All wimmen? Nikki and three mens? Will it be on YouTube? I always believed that "real men finish last" so somebody must have been really working with Nikki to get her to finish first. After the Big O she probably dropped out and watched the other three.

starfanglednut February 6, 2012 at 2:27 pm

I once finished first in a four-way, but I was able to recoup and go again.

Schmannnity February 6, 2012 at 2:11 pm

Byron York for most obnoxious 1920's middle hair part, Mark Levin for nasal squawk never-laid of the century

PsycWench February 6, 2012 at 2:13 pm

Isn't Gingrich in the running for anything, maybe Most Feet in Mouth?

Texan_Bulldog February 6, 2012 at 2:18 pm

Silly girl! He won the 'Man with the Most Wives who isn't Mormon' category.

starfanglednut February 6, 2012 at 2:27 pm

nom, nom,nom

flamingpdog February 6, 2012 at 2:15 pm

The Duggar woman is one of the confirmed speakers. I hope everybody else with chilluns got their on-site daycare reservations in early.

mrblifil February 6, 2012 at 2:18 pm

And a lifetime achievement award to Karen Santorum for "Latest Abortion."

SheriffRoscoe February 6, 2012 at 2:19 pm

"New Media" is the name they call the internets? Cute!

SheriffRoscoe February 6, 2012 at 2:29 pm

So I had to google John Gizzi, and the first image looked like a guy with a future career in some sort of niche porn (ie prison rape) and I was all "Yeah! Fap city!" But then I scrolled down a bit……

owhatever February 6, 2012 at 2:52 pm

I am all aheeby-jeeby as the awards draw near, for fear that our Muslin President from Kenya will send in SEAL Team Six to kill us all and stifle any dissent of his reign of terror. I was looking forward the Monster Hoveround race.

KeepFnThatChicken February 6, 2012 at 2:58 pm

…so through these nods, are they supposed to transform Obama's O into a huge circle jerk?

The Paul Weyrich Awards Dinner?

This entire concept appears, in my view, to be inconsistent with the consumption of food.

slowhansolo February 6, 2012 at 3:28 pm

Paul Weyrich is a Bushie who should be in jail, right? In that context, these nominations actually makes a lot of sense.

I mean, really, Scott Walker?

mileslarboy February 6, 2012 at 3:34 pm

"We're pulling for Jizzy." Cracking up!!!
NEWELL you are TOO MUCH and I am so happy you are BACK!!!

Just once in my life I want to attend a CPAC where one of these fools is awarded the Lee Atwater Brain Tumor Award.

Oh, way to GO, Wonkeratti! http://www.weyrichawards.org/ is down now!

C_R_Eature February 6, 2012 at 7:27 pm

It's up again. I just signed up Reinhard Heydrich, in Bunker A, 666 Obersturmfuhererstrasse, Berlin Germany. I hope the tickets arrive on time.

valthemus February 7, 2012 at 12:24 am

Re: State or Local Elected Official of the Year

When that one gets presented is when I'm hoping another earthquake hits DC and the earth under the podium opens up and swallows the winner. I don't care who's up there when it happens, as long as at least one of them is dropped into the earth's molten core.
