The Golden Crookies 2008: Who was the year's biggest wingnut?

[CatWoman]

Who was the biggest wingnut of 2008?

Everybody's been compiling their Top 10 lists of 2008. We've decided to compile a list of the biggest right-wing nutcases of the year -- which, admittedly, could be a very long list indeed.

I consulted the C&L staff, and indeed there was not shortage of suggestions. The competition was fierce, but we finally pared it down to the list on the poll below.

Some absent names were especially notable -- George W. Bush and John Sydney McCain in particular. But the former just became increasingly irrelevant, and the latter was actually outdone by his surrounding cast of right-wing nutcases.

Vote today! We'll gather the data and announce the winner on New Year's Day.

3. I chose Michelle Bachmann

just because I thought she came by her wing-nuttery honestly. :)

4. I chose Bachman, but they're all masters of wingnuttery.

It's a big pool.

6. Sarah Palin!

10. Without a doubt. She actually believed the tripe she was spewing.

7. I voted for Joe the Plumber.

That was so weird, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I can't believe he really became some kind of standard for the McCain campaign. It was like watching a cartoon.

9. I understand

8. Can't decide

Wish there was an "all of the above" option.

11. Oh jeeze. Who can choose?

Michelle Bachman will probably get my vote. Palin is a definite contender but she's about 50% wingnut and 50% stupid. I would like to add Victoria Jackson as a contender; like Palin she's as stupid as she is offensive.

It's almost not fair to include Hannity since he'd win every year, or be tied with Limbaugh.
