The deadline for submitting Golden Duke award nominations fast approaches. At stake, a chance to have your nomination reviewed by our panel of distinguished judges and, if your nomination wins, a chance to show off Golden Duke contest swag–mug, T-shirt, whatever else we come up with–emblazoned with the prized Golden Duke trophy, seen at left. Do your friends and family proud. Send in your nomination today.
Here’s an example of a nomination in the Testimonial Trainwreck category, so you get a feel for what this is all about:
I’d like to nominate Sara Taylor for this dubious honor. This video of Taylor being chastised by Senator Leahy for her failure to recall the oath of office she took and to what or who she owes her loyalty may be brief but, what better metaphor could you have for the Bush years? Here you have in technicolor what went wrong from the beginning. These Bushies gave their loyalty to a man and not the country.
A very strong candidate for a Dukey. Taylor started the day with what seemed a certain brashness, picked up perhaps from her then-boss Karl Rove, but as the day wore on and she wore down, she had the look of someone who knew they’d been beaten and just wanted the flogging to end.
Remember: Nomination deadline is Friday.
