Joker, Joker, And A Triple

John Ziegler, who probably has about 10 talk radio show firings left in his career, is I guess trying to make it now as a "filmmaker." This being a film on how stupid Barack Obama supporters are, he decided to sponsor a "poll" asking them a series of questions which had, er, idiosyncratic answers, and appeared designed to push negative information out about Obama. You can read Nate Silver's interview with this guy to get a sense of the man. Meanwhile, I'll associate myself with TBogg's remarks:

To be fair, you have to feel bad for a 41 year-old man who leads off his biography with the fact that he was captain of his high school golf team. Yes. "Golf team" and that's "captain" to you, bitches. There is a world of sad when that is the highlight of your life to be followed by a series of firings, shitty radio time-slots and being ranked the "54th most important talk host in the country by Talkers Magazine.".

As I understand it, that'll get you free refills at Denny's and the use of a handicapped parking space once a month.

The part where Ziegler loses it and starts cursing because he can't come up with the name "Jim DeMint" is my favorite part.

A friend of mine once got set up on a blind date with Ziegler, wherein he proceeded to call all women stupid and unfunny (my friend was a stand-up comedienne) and THEN try to set up a second date.

I wonder if the order was so catastrophically wrong on his poll as well.
