Asshole of Day Award

That special title goes to Kim Compton of Boston, Massachussetts. She/He/It wrote a letter to People Magazine regarding the Katrina victims. It was printed in the October 3, 2005 edition and says the following (quoted in full):

So some people who refused to evacuate because they had no way to get out of town are now complaining about what they went through? Spare me! They're used to having the government provide their every need. I hope they've learned their lesson that Uncle Sam can't always get there instantly to bail you out.

Wow. If anyone is in Boston and knows this person, I wouldn't blame you for having an overwhelming need to throw eggs at her/his/it's home and car. It's a natural reaction, especially since the U.S. is the richest country in the world and had more than enough resources to "instantly bail these people out", even though they didn't. And we all know who "these people" are. And because it's nice to punish the poorest people in our country from one of the poorest cities in the country. And yeah, the government's been helping "these people" live the high life to the max-- ever been to the Ninth Ward in New Orleans? Maybe Kim Compton was wearing special goggles that converted the pictures to a land of riches, but the area more closely resembled shanty towns from South Africa. Wow, how generous those government handouts are. (Go ahead, Kim Compton, you can insert your own [they're using all the money for booze and drugs] comment here. The cat's out of the bag-- we now know what a racist, hateful, sick, despicable fuck you are. So do go on and say it; you know you're dying to do it.)

So far today, I can't think of a better or more deserving person to win the "Asshole of the Day" Award. Congratulations, Kim Compton of Boston. This is truly an honor.

Of course, Bush is still roaming around the area for photo ops, he may be getting tomorrow's "Asshole of the Day" award if recent history proves anything...
