Yet Another Idiot of the Week Poll
Am I missing somebody? No shake-your-head, roll-your-eyes newsmaking moments this week. Not that I noticed at the time. OK, New Jersey was dumb to let its budget disputes go into overtime. And blame may fall on an 18-year-old bus driver for an accident that injured more than 50 children, but who let him drive? So I'm putting up a starter poll, hoping one of you sharp readers out there might pass along that perfect "Doh!" suggestion.
A Virginia woman thought the old "There's a dead mouse in my soup" trick could yield some big bucks from Cracker Barrell, but instead she got a year in jail.   Guess then if sentencing counts, gotta include ex-City Councilman Rick Mariano, who got 6-1/2 years yesterday on bribery charges. Or count him just because he said, "Jail will do me good." How about the streaker who did cartwheels at Wimbledon? It's certainly was a ballsy way to catch the eye of Maria Sharapova (right). Yikes! Here's a woman who apparently swallowed 119 nails! Here's a video of a drunk driver chased by the cops who tries to escape by pushing his car! May not be this week, but clearly he qualifies. How about Russian President Vladimir Putin who smooched a boy's stomach, explaining it was just a spontaneously friendly greeting? Imagine if W. or Bill Clinton had ever done that ... Man argues with girlfriend, says he's not too drunk to drive, then hops in car and promptly dies when he crashes into a tree.
