Worst Persons For March 16 2010

The bronze goes to the Huffington Post. For a change, this is not about Arianna selling out for $315,000,000. It’s about what’s happened in the wake of the AOL purchase: a post by the notoriously shamed anger mismanagement goober, Andrew Breitbart that references Little Jimmy O’Keefe’s “success” and trumpeting NPR as “collateral damage.” I really don’t know what I would do if AOL offered me $315,000,000 for this blog (or $315, for that matter), but I would be prepared to see it turned into almost anything including a site devoted to the best of Carl Palladino’s emailed photos. And I would be prepared to see a hear of booing. Breitbart?
Silver: who else but the impossibly perfectly named Kansas state legislator Virgil Peck. He got worldwide attention by prefacing remarks to the State House with what you could call ‘Conservative Humor’:
“It looks like to me as if shooting these emigrating barrel hogs works, maybe we have found a solution to our illegal immigration problem.”
And how do they shoot emigrating barrel hogs? Marksmen fire at them from helicopters, Palin-style. And if you don’t believe even the state representative from Tyro, Kansas could say anything that stupid, it’s on tape.
