The Week Rick Santelli Kept Yelling: Champs vs. Chumps
 

If life is a game, we, the sad bastards forced to live it, are winning and losing all the time. This is our attempt to tally the score. This week, Santelli's shrill and New Mexico no longer kills.

 

CHAMPS

 

brunoin_phixr

Sacha Baron Cohen, who's going to get countless more millions simply by making Borat gay and Austrian. Moviegoers will fall for anything!

 

blackzombies_phixr

Black people, who have finally earned the right to get killed as zombies in shooting games, just like everybody else.

 

billrichsmile_phixr

New Mexico, which has repealed the death penalty and entered the realm of the civilized. Welcome to 2009, guys!

 

mischa-barton-mug-shot1

Mischa Barton. The OC dropout has once again been spared from oblivion, this time by the CW, the savior of terrible actresses everywhere.

 

281x211

Meghan McCain. Though widely hated and clearly misguided, she's making quite a name for herself as a salty addition to the disgusting stew we call "news." Good for her?

 

CHUMPS

 

james_franco_phixr

James Franco, who's too hot for education. The Milk star is getting swarmed outside all his classes at Columbia. In our day, girls at fancy colleges had some dignity and refinement (no, they didn't).

 

pope_benedict

Pious Catholics, who are, at this point, officially following a madman.

 

11102953_phixr

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer. RIP, dudes.

 

imus

Don Imus, who has been diagnosed cancer. That's what's called nappy-headed, hoey karma, brother.

 

santelliyell

Rick Santelli's children. Sorry, guys, but your father is just the absolute worst person in the world. Once you hit 18, head out and don't ever look back.

Nice post. Except you guys are still way "misguided", as you put it, on Santelli's message. He's one of the best financial reporters out there, knows the commodities trading business in and out. His message was that there is no mechanism in all this bail-out stuff to tell the difference between the real "losers" and the ones who are genuinely caught in this mortgage mess and really deserve help. So, let's just throw money at everyone. It was a legitimate, if not intemperate, rant. I might have expressed it differntly, but…

Lame attempt at trying to be Keith Olbermann, BTW.

If Keith Olbermann were gay, he would be Jossip.

I wouldn't mess with karma call-outs if I were the Jossip crew. No telling what might come their way.
