If Paul Harvey deserves a freakin' medal of freedom then

Here are a few others who are at least as deserving as him!

Dom Deluise

Steve Lawrence & Edie Gormet

The guy that talked real fast in commercials.

Eugene Levy and Harold Ramis

Charlie McCarthy

Animal (from the Muppets)

Big Bird and Kermit the Frog (actually they really should receive one)

Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and Jacilyn Smith

McGuyver (I mean how many freakin times did he save the world)

The Mod Squad

The first girl I had sex with.

I'm sure there are more but they escape me now.

2. Isn't Harvey the one who made the commentary a couple of months ago

- waxing nostalgic on the good old days of wiping out native people with small-pox infested blankets as a sign the US had lost it's "can-do" attitude?

13. I remember him dissing black athletes back in 1969

because they were always more muscle-bound than white athletes or some old racist BS like that. Not too many decades before Harvey's ilk would have been sneering at Jews and Catholics. O the long hard death of white christian male patriarchy!!

3. I thought he was dead. He used to segue into commercials

in such a way that they sounded like they were news. He was a long in the tooth relic by the 70's.

12. Well if you saw the clip of Bush putting the medal on him...

you would have thought it was being awarded posthumously.

9. Why don't they just give the medal to...

the White House cat?

I mean, what the fuck is this? Are they trying to be serious at all? A religious right freakazoid? Give me a fucking break.

Paul Harvey is a radio preacher, for pete's sake. All he does is ramble and whine in his ridiculous voice, give some stupid parable about god, marriage or 1950s images of stability, and by the end you just want to slit your wrists. It's the most horrible, drecky radio ever.

He deserves a medal like the guy who cleans the fish tank at the pet store.
