We know you’re just now recovering from Christmas and getting ready for New Year’s. But don’t forget the event that comes only once a year, on December 31st. That’s right, the announcement of this year’s Golden Duke Award winners, our annual awards granted to the year’s greatest slimbeballs, crooks, the comically corrupt or simply criminally ridiculous. To refresh your memory, here are this year’s nominees, announced back on December 15th. This year’s judges are Susie Bright, Rick Hertzberg, Dan Savage and TPM alums Hunter Walker and Megan Carpentier, who we believe are all uniquely suited to judge this sort of achievement. So stay tuned and get ready for the big announcement on December 31st!
