Each April I present The John Wilkes Booth Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Misguided Political Activism by an Actor or an Actress, or "the Coveted Booty, on my blog (well, not really mine, but I have posting privileges). I’ve decided to make the nomination process part of the SDMB since it has an incomparably wider readership than the blog.
So who would you nominate? I’d prefer for it to be for something from the past year (though Lifetime Achievement Bootys are an option). Personally I’m leaning towards Sean Penn for his trip to Baghdad, but will entertain any performers. (Last year it actually went to Michael Moore, though it was a stretch to call him an actor- he has had cameo parts, though) but nothing inspired for the female camp has really hit me.
I promise a mention and a handful of love to whoever supplies the winning entry.
Absolutely- neither brand of irrational whiner annoys me more or less than the other. In fact the first year’s winners were a liberal and a conservative: Rosie O’Donnell & Tom Selleck. Her because of her really bitchy ambush of him on her talk-show (which she’d specifically promised his reps she wouldn’t do) and him because she was right (don’t appear in ads that say “I am the NRA” and then say “Well, I don’t necessarily agree with them…”).
Yes, she did, along with Ronald Reagan. (As much as I loathe her on an ideological level I would be remiss in my duties as a gay man not to mention that her son is a fox.)
