Our Weasel Of The Week!!



Once again, It's time to present this week's statuette of shame, The Golden Weasel!!

Every Tuesday, the Council nominates some of the slimiest, most despicable characters in public life for some deed of evil, cowardice or corruption they’ve performed. Then we vote to single out one particular Weasel for special mention, to whom we award the statuette of shame, our special, 100% plastic Golden Weasel. This week's nominees were all particularly slimy and despicable, but the votes are in and we have our winner...the envelope please...

Racialist Grievance Monger, Anti-Semite and Huffington Post Columnist Ferrari Sheppard!!



Nice Deb: I imagine Michael Moore will be a frontrunner in the Weasel Follies, this week, but I'd like to nominate a lesser known weasel who I feel also distinguished himself in a repulsive fashion.

Ferrari Sheppard writes for the Huffington Post, and unlike say - Christian Nigerians - this black man knows the real pains of war.










Need I say more?

No,that pretty much says it all right there,doesn't it? The film American Sniper as my dear friend Bookworm wrote earlier (in a piece you seriously ought to read)is a real litmus test. The film's cinematic merits or lack of merits aren't the point at all. What we have here is a movie portraying an American soldier in heroic colors, a throwback to the sort of films Hollywood used to produce before the inmates took over the asylum. And that's the issue.

Something like American Sniper and the responses from people like this weeks' Weasel show the division clearly. There are those Americans whom still honor heroes like Chris Kyle whom go into harm's way to serve our beloved country and keep the rest of us safe..and then there are the sort of termites whom feed and grow fat on our society and not only contribute nothing of worth to it but seek to bring it down to their own putrid level and destroy what makes it great bit by bit. I doubt that gap can be bridged. Nor,  personally speaking, am I particularly interested in doing so.

Mr. Sheppard, your Weasel is richly deserved and I'm happy to present it to you. As a great man once said, you do your worst, and we will do our best.

Well, there it is.

Check back next Tuesday to see who next week's nominees for Weasel of the Week are!

Make sure to tune in every Monday for the Watcher’s Forum, and remember, every Wednesday, the Council has its weekly contest with the members nominating two posts each, one written by themselves and one written by someone from outside the group for consideration by the whole Council. The votes are cast by the Council, and the results are posted on Friday morning.

It’s a weekly magazine of some of the best stuff written in the blogosphere, and you won’t want to miss it...or any of the other fantabulous Watcher's Council content.

And don’t forget to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter..’cause we’re cool like that, y'know?

He certainly deserves the hairdo of the week award. Otherwise he's just another loudmouth.

Those discount coupons are pretty valuable. They should be mollified.

Well, obnoxious loudmouth frequently qualifies for the Weasel.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Absolutely.

Dick Stanley said...

If that's the criteria, you're going to need a lot more Weasels as there are armies of these clowns on every continent.

You are right at that. Let's say that one has a few other qualities mentioned.
