Methinks a giant golden attack rabbit is best. I’ve been trying to figure out that story ever since it happened. Was it Harvey? Is Jimmy really Elwood P. Dowd?

# 27 I love the idea of an Oscar-like statute with slumped shoulders and waving a cane, provided a white flag is attached.

@34 Does the name Griffen Bell ring a bell with you? Carter�s first embarassment shortly after taking office.

#31 - “Vera loves awards � any chance she�s in the running for the Old Battle-Axe Award ?”

Not a chance, Vera. Winning the OBA Award is like being on Mr. Blackwell’s Worst-Dressed List - you only want someone else to be named, not yourself.

Welcome back, dahling!

Jimmy Carter the worst U.S. president? Get serious. Richard Outhouse Nixon holds that title in perpetuity. He’s the only president who had to resign from office. I’ve lost count of how many members of his administration went to jail.

Somebody save that for future use! That’s gotta be a WikiPedia entry of some sort. Dan, save that for the foot note whenever the award is given.

BTW, somebody mentioned something about giving the award next year. I think it could easily be done at least quarterly. Call it the “Not Exactly Annual Jimmies”

Hmmm�. Old, weak, bitter, and stomach churning?
Sounds like the latte I had at Star Bucks the other day.

Jimmy�s become the Ashley Wilkes of politics � a bit part overblown into a staring role. He�s a milquetoast who�s increasingly irrelevant -and well past his �sell by� date. He�s like Harry Reid with a better assortment of sweaters.

Vera loves awards � any chance she�s in the running for the Old Battle-Axe Award ?

Thank you, Sean A, that was very helpful. He sounds like a truly wonderful man. Just imagine the peace and prosperity we could have if we could ever elect a man like that as our President.

A great idea and a good choice for the first recipient. All the suggested nominees are also deserving. If the award is not limited to US citizens I�d like to nominate Kofi Annon. While he�s done nothing to promote democracy or promote true human rights, ʹm trying to remeber some sour grapes, unless his trying to explain the food for oil scandal involving his son qualifies.

Yes, the Jimmy! I second that.

Idea for what the award should look like: How about take the Oscar statue, then give it stooped shoulders, and have it waving a cane in the air?

Wonderful choice for the inaugural award.

Will you be accepting nominations from readers next year?

Just wondering: How old is John Kerry? When will he qualify?
