The year is less than a month old and already the horses are out of the shoot in the race for the Biggest Idiot of 2006. Kanye West is posing as Jesus on the cover of Rolling Stone. I'm not sure which is more Christ like - Kanye whining about losing to Gretchen Wilson or informing the world about the dangers of gold diggers.
No sooner than Kanye gets out to an early lead, here comes Joel Stein on the outside. He actually came out today to announce in the LA Times that he does not support our troops. He actually said:
"But blaming the president is a little too easy. The truth is that people who pull triggers are ultimately responsible, whether they're following orders or not. An army of people making individual moral choices may be inefficient, but an army of people ignoring their morality is horrifying. An army of people ignoring their morality, by the way, is also Jack Abramoff's pet name for the House of Representatives." and "But when you volunteer for the U.S. military, you pretty much know you're not going to be fending off invasions from Mexico and Canada. So you're willingly signing up to be a fighting tool of American imperialism, for better or worse. Sometimes you get lucky and get to fight ethnic genocide in Kosovo, but other times it's Vietnam. "
Now the year is still young. Pat Robertson is liable to say something, anything, that would put him in the race and T.O. will probably get picked up by another NFL team. It's a long race but these two men have set a torrid pace that is going to be hard to beat. One thing is for sure - 2006 already looks to be a year filled with idiots.
