It seems to be no surprise that Kanye West was most frequently nominated for our first annual Rudey Awards. In fact, so many of our followers mentioned him, we have decided to give him the distinctive, Rudey Hall of Shame award. This suggestion comes from a fan and follower of ours in Chicago. We don’t think Mr. West will lose any sleep over this - that would be way too gentlemanly.
Our good friend, Nancy Miller, nominated the following:
Sarah Palin for creating a public nuisance
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab for smoking in public
Rush Limbaugh for air pollution
Donald Trump for hair pollution
Rudy Guiliani just for having a name that sounds like Rudey
Our friend, Bruce Hopman of the site Parody & Sons weighed in with his nominations:
Best Show Acceptance Speech by a non-award winner: Kanye West
Best Impression of a six year old: Senator Joe Wilson
From a certain popular Washington journalist:
“Hello, Michael Steele?”
From author-journalist Stephen Silverman:
Supreme Court Justice Alito for nodding his head and moving his mouth during President Obama’s State of the Union speech
And, hello, Michael Steele
We also would like to give Rudey Special Mention Awards to:
Persistent Double Dippers
Dog owners with excessively long leashes
Parents who think the dirt on their children’s soles don’t soil furniture
Adults who think the dirt on their soles don’t soil furniture (in homes and restaurants)
People who don’t wash their hands after using the bathroom and go digging into the nut bowl
Phone calls and emails of no returns especially from potential employers
“Walk faster old man!” Younger drivers who think they’ll never get old
And finally, employers who upon firing employees will actually suggest that it’s a good thing (see Up In The Air, recent unemployment and foreclosure figures)
