Today we have lost a great warrior, patriot and friend.
Those deserving to be punted are the ones lighting up twitter and other social media sites with gems like this one:
@AndrewBreitbart haha your dead in hell being gay with hitler
(I chose not to edit that for spelling or punctuation.)
There were those who spoke ill of Andrew when he was alive, to his face, giving him the opportunity to fire back when he felt it was necessary. Those who step out of the shadows now to insult him when the only ones left to feel the pain are his wife, his four children, and his friends - well, Dana Loesch said it best: "Their debt will come due. Not today, but it will come."

Oh, Romney. Srsly.
Today Romney and Santorum face a tough battle in Michigan, something Romney didn't anticipate in his home state. Today he accuses Santorum of "outrageous and disgusting behavior." What behavior is that exactly? Santorum is reaching out to democratic voters with robocalls.
Santorum (correctly) asserts that if he is to have any chance at all in the general election, he needs to sway at least a few democrat voters, so what is the problem if he starts now?
Romney: does it bother you because you actually think Santorum is "consorting with the enemy"? Or are you just mad because you didn't think of it first?

If I didn't know better, I'd think that President Obama was lobbying for my prize. (Realistically, I doubt he knows of its existence...)
We all knew that the new budget proposed by the Obama Administration would cut defense spending. What they weren't publicizing is the fact that they were going to make those cuts in military healthcare. The plan is ton increase to cost of care paid by active duty service-members, their dependents, and retirees - to include those medically retired after having been wounded in action. Those remaining unaffected by the increase in premiums? Unionized civilian defense workers.
The moral of this story? If you manage to nab a federal government union job, your healthcare will be paid for. If you give your time, your arm, your leg, or your life for your country, you will then be asked to pay for the injuries you sustained in the defense of your country because they're too busy buying boob jobs and birth control for bureaucrats to be concerned over your missing limbs.

I was wondering how long it would take Hillary Clinton to make the list...
Recent concerns over the possible backsliding of the "Arab Spring" suddenly have Clinton diplomatting as she's never diplomatted before. In Tunisia, after offering support to the rebels that overturned the secular leader just under a year ago, Clinton now warns the people that a takeover by extremists is possible. Basically, she's admitting that what conservatives warned people about while the Arab Spring was going on actually stands a real possibility of coming to pass...Imagine that, right?
The best part: she is speaking to young people in Town Hall meetings and preaching the value of democracy - even though what America has is not democracy and was never intended to be - because democracy does not work. You know, ever.

Bob McDonnell. Governor of Virginia. Generally conservative. Coward.
In the state of Virginia, two pieces of legislation have made news recently. I have addressed the "personhood" bill, but today's punt-worthy action comes from the other bill - a bill that mandates an ultrasound for any woman who desires an abortion. As soon as news of the bill hit the media, the public outcry went from loud to ludicrous in 3.7 seconds. Media personalities began to refer to transvaginal ultrasound procedures (the bill only mandates an ultrasound, meaning that a highly non-invasive abdominal ultrasound would also be acceptable under the new law) as "state-mandated rape," and liberals everywhere ate it up. Unfortunately, so did Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell - he is now demanding that the bill be resubmitted with an amendment to clarify that the mandate doesn't require the transvaginal procedure that it didn't require in the first place.
As for those who were screaming about any mandated ultrasound, let me make something clear: in most states Planned Parenthood requires an ultrasound prior to all abortions anyway. But rather than using that ultrasound to help women make more informed choices, Planned Parenthood uses their required ultrasound to determine the size and age of the baby so that they can determine the best way to kill it. Babies over a certain gestational age and size, for example, cannot be safely killed with chemicals. Likewise, babies under a certain size and age do not require surgical intervention.

In a surprise twist, today's prize is a tie between President Obama and Congressman Ron Paul - for the same reasons.
Several days ago in Afghanistan, American soldiers burned several copies of the Koran. They resorted to this action not as a political statement or to inflame the sensibilities of the Islamic community but to prevent terrorist prisoners from further covert communications. The prisoners in question had already defaced the Korans by writing in them in code (writing in the Koran is prohibited under Islamic law).
The burning of those Korans resulted in riots throughout Afghanistan, several American soldiers killed by the very Afghani soldiers they had helped to train, and Afghan President Karzai demanding an apology from America (which President Obama gave).
So it's pretty obvious that Obama gets the prize for offering an apology when he should have been demanding one for America instead. What does this have to do with Ron Paul? His foreign policy, if taken to its logical conclusion, would have America apologizing not just for the burning of the Koran, but for our very existence. In a world that boasts a culture that will gladly kill over the defacing of a religious book, we must demand respect through strength or risk losing everything.

Ok, this guy isn't a politician, but his crime of stupidity is certainly related to politics so we'll let it slide.
Mohamed Shohan, of Stamford, CT, was arrested on a warrant Wednesday. The charge? He recorded President Obama's State of the Union address and then sat down to watch it with his eleven year old son. Predictably, the child grew bored and began to act out - at which point Shohan grabbed a coffee mug and used it to hit the boy in the face.
First of all, no one should have been forced to listen to that blather. And second of all, I'm surprised family services wasn't called in - not for the physical assault, for the assault on his son's intellegence that speech represented.
