Another Alleged Idiot of the Week Poll
Maybe some week, nobody will deserve this notoriety. This week, though, good candidates abound.
Some thought Phillies limited partner Bill Giles showed symptoms of galloping foot-in-mouth disease when he suggested, in remarks made Monday, that pitcher Brett Myers was wrongly accused, that the president of his playoff-starved team was "sensational," and fan negativity about the team was some kind of talk-radio distortion. (See poll, in which fans clearly disagreed.) On a more serious, there's the New York doctor accused of blowing up his building in a "botched suicide attempt during a bitter divorce." Some folks might like to nail Madonna for wearin a crown of thorns and hanging on a cross during shows like the ones this week in Philadelphia. How about those Delaware women accused of stashing their mother's corpse in a Rubbermaid tub in their house with dozens of sick cats? They may have wanted to keep collecting her Social Security, perhaps to help their Meow Mix bills. Giants defensive end Michael Strahan isn't just a sacks maniac, according to his wife in this divorce case. She says he rigged up a bedroom camera to tape her sister undressing. But if you suspect Strahan is one randy dandy, how about the Russian farmer who asked President Putin during a webcast if it was OK if his mate was an animal. Not as in: She's a woman who's wild in bed like an animal. As in: She's a cow. As in: Moooooooo! "All the girls have left our small village, so I cannot find a woman to be with. But I love animals very much," he said. He might have been kidding, of course, but you could still fault him for besmirching his nation's reputation. It's unclear what the reply was from Putin, who publically kissed a boy's belly recently. I'm probably overlooking some great candidates once again. If so, be sure to post your alternative suggestions here.
