He's on vacation this week, but you just knew he couldn't pass up the antics of Gingrich, Limbaugh and Coultergeist so he *called in* to the show last night to deliver the World's Worst awards. Here, verbatim, is a transcript of this awesome moment.
"I'm just sorry there couldn't be golds for all of them. The bronze to Newt Gingrich,
visiting us briefly in this dimension to blame the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
on, quote, a "failure of citizenship in the Ninth Ward, where 22,000 people were so
uneducated and so unprepared, they literally couldn't get out of the way of a hurricane."
Yeah, Newt, all that education sure helped the Bush administration *shine* after the
hurricane.
The bronze (Keith goofed there, yes), comedian Rush Limbaugh pointing out that since
ancestors of Al Sharpton were slaves and ancestors of Senator Barack Obama were
slave owners, quoting again, "Could we not say that if Obama wins the Democratic
nomination and then wins the presidency, he will own Al Sharpton?" No, actually,
we couldn't say that. But we could say that any lingering doubt about this is
at an end - Rush Limbaugh is a racist.
But the gold, of course to Coultergeist calling John Edwards that name. I mean,
Annie, just because you're more mannish looking? Hell, you're more mannish looking
than every man on the planet. Coultergeist - today's Worst Person In The World!"
