1. I think you mispelled "Asskissing Rumsfeld Stooge of the Year"

[Career Prole]

2. And I nominate every Dad who's been serving overtime in Iraq and

Afghanistan and haven't had any damned time with their children this year thanks to that asswipe.
:grr:

[Jabbery]

3. You obviously meant "Motherfucker of the Year"

eom

[glitch]

20. I am sure that's what they meant - good one!

:evilgrin:

[indepat]

21. At a minimum common decency demanded barf and puke alerts be issued

simultaneously.

4. WHAT?!?

One has to wonder what the HELL the criteria are for this group. Even if you ignore the fact that he's a lying, murderous, psychotic stooge for a blithering idiot, the military life is an obstacle to good parenting, not a boon. Everyone who's ever been a parent in the military knows this.

5. Damn.... Scott Peterson, must be inconsolable

:eyes:

6. Who was Mother of the Year?

Brigadier General Karpinski?

7. yep

she edged out Lynndie England.

[Cocoa]

8. yep

she edged out Lynndie England.

[thebigidea]

9. hopefully next year's mother of the year will be Pvt. England

[Atlanticist]

10. Did you hear Karpinski on BBC Radio ?

Basically told by Miller to clear out of Abu Grahib. You can listen to the entire interview on www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/ontheropes.shtml

Go to Listen Again.

Not saying she's a sympathetic character, but she had the balls to stand up and be interviewed by a professional political journalist for an hour.

11. Thanks for the link...

...I read about this interview in the BBC News. Sounds like she isn't going down without a fight.

14. I am thinking Ma Barker herself Babs bush*....

She has spawned more mass murderers than any other breeder in History, to be sure.

12. Adolf Eichmann was Runner-Up

Now THERE was a charmer in the Donald Rumsfeld style.

And great fun at cocktail parties, too!

The PERFECT Runner Up in the Imperial Amerika Father of the Year Contest.

13. What is Really Sad About This Choice

Is that unlike so many men in our armed forces Richard Myers has the ability to see his children.

I wish the recipients had been the fathers who are members of our Armed Forces - who cannot be with their children on Father's Day.

It is like Tenet say he is leaving to spend more time with his family -- bet there are alot of men and women in Iraq who would like to leave to spend more time with their family.

[CO Liberal]

15. By Who? The Catholic Church?

:shrug:

[Thor_MN]

16. Damn, just how many female Iraqis did he "interogate"?

[Ruby Romaine]

17. a wing nut group , of course!

The Father's Day Council of San Francisco yesterday recognized Jim Marggraff as 2004 Father of the Year at a gala dinner benefiting the American Diabetes Association.
(snip)
Marggraff joins a distinguished list of former Father of the Year honorees, including Colin Powell, Rudolph Giuliani and Tom Brokaw.

18. more...

The National Father's Day Council must suffer from a bad sense of humor or short-term memory loss.

Recently, it decided to honor former New York Knicks center Patrick Ewing as one of its 2003 National Fathers of the Year.

How sweet.
This is the same Patrick Ewing who testified in federal court in July 2001 that he frequently visited the notorious Gold Club in Atlanta, where he received all kinds of house amenities for free.
