George W. Bush Finally Wins Your Vote

It's official. George W. Bush is the Dick of the Year, and it wasn't even close. Judging by the votes in the contest with our friends at 23/6 and Dickipedia, W looks to be a first ballot Dick of The Decade as well. Sure it's cliche, but as quixoto aptly said, "that's also like saying it's a cliche to pick The Godfather or Citizen Kane as the best American movie."

Here's the rest of the Top Ten Dicks of 2008 as chosen by you:

2. Dick Cheney
3. Bill O'Reilly
4. Sarah Palin
5. Prop 8 supporters
6. Ann Coulter
7. Robert Mugabe
8. Joe the Plumber
9. Rod Blagojevich
10. Henry Paulson

Wow. What a banner year for Dicks. 2008 may go down as the 1984 draft of professional Dickness (BTW that makes Kanye West the John Stockton of this metaphor). Think about this, most of us had never even heard of half of this list one year ago! That's gotta make you excited about all the new Dicks 2009 gonna spawn.

With the inauguration days away this is all the more bittersweet. Mr. President, from all of us a heartfelt congrats. Enjoy this after-dinner-mint of an award. We were always planning on sending the winner a trophy, but it looks like someone beat us to the punch.
