"Assholes of the Week" HuffPost

[SaveElmer]

Can't disagree with any of these...particularly the last one...

1. ABC News anchor Charlie Gibson, who is perhaps the worst offender when it comes to condescending verbal postscripts to news stories, this time following a report on the threat of global warming to penguins with this comment: "They just make you smile."


2. Department of Homeland Security head Michael Chertoff, for simultaneously instilling fear and gaining psychic brownie points by simultaneously claiming that a gut feeling told him a terrorist attack could occur this summer and covering his ass if it were to happen; of course my speculation as to his motivation is just a gut feeling.

3. Pope Benedict XVI, who, by approving a document perpetrating the notion that Christian communities are either defective or not true churches, and that Catholicism provides the only true path to salvation, thereby indicating that yet another religious leader is a bigoted nut.

1. I kinda got a kick out of this post .......

Doesn't Larry Flint still profile an "asshole of the month" in his magazine? Keith Obermann has his "worst persons in the world" M-F on his MSNBC Countdown. So, maybe, Huffpo should have a daily riff as well.

I nominate Joe Leiberman for loving our soldiers to death.

2. Regarding the Pope - I don't know what the big deal is - the Church has

ALWAYS said it was the "one true church" - nothing new there. For some reason the Pope just wanted to re-state it again right now.

I first learned this tenet about 50 years ago when I was a kid in Catholic grammar school. Its a core belief of Catholicism.
