President Bush Finishes Second
Think he gets Mad?
President George W. Bush comes in No. 2 on Mad Magazine's annual list of the 20 Dumbest People, Events and Things of the Year. Mad's January issue cites Bush for breaking the presidential record for most vacation time. The president is no stranger to this dubious honor: It's the eighth year in a row he's made the list.
Other political figures who made Mad's cut: No. 12, former vice presidential aide Scooter Libby ("man for all treasons"); No. 17, Alberto Gonzales ("He promised he wouldn't resign, but ... it was the one lie he told that we could all be happy about"); No. 18, Sen. Larry Craig ("another ... Republican just came out of the water closet").
And No. 1? Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, "the world's worst dog owner."

He also finished second on this list:
Worst leader of a country ever? Adolf Hitler.

Sorry, but I thought this was a comics blog? I added your widget to my Shulkie.com site [ http://shulkie.com ] because Jason Calacanis and Peter David are interested in what you're doing. However, if you're going to air your tedious political views on the front page, I can just run the CBR feed instead. It's no skin off my ass. By all means make a go at being the fringe 'netroots' comics site, and let me know how that works out for you.

We'd tell you how being a "fringe 'netroots' comics site" is working for us, but we're aren't fringe by any stretch of the imagination, either in political viewpoints or in traffic numbers.
