Deadline Looms! Shocker…Top Seeded Chris Matthews Upset in Sweet 16. Tingle Factor Is No Match For the Power Game of Donna Brazile. No Quarter Tournament Moves on to Elite Eight. VOTE HERE!

BUMPED DOWN . We move on to the FINAL FOUR now!

Vote by midnight tonight! The Sweet 16 is in the books and we are down to just 8 contestants left vying for the No Quarter Trophy which is annually awarded to the person you decide is the Biggest Ass on the American Political Landscape. March Madness is always full of surprises and this year is no different. The Number One Seed in the At Large Bracket, MSNBC Hard Ball host Chris Matthews turned out to a softball player. He was no match for the cajones of Donna Brazile. While she appeared to be fading as the tournament started, the DNC terror upped her game and sent Tweety packing 56-44. This sets up a dream matchup in the At Large Regional Final between Brazile and the Number Two Seed Oprah Winfrey. Oprah humiliated Bill “Judas” Richardson 66-34. This bracket final redefines At Large due to the girth of the contestants who can both claim to have the biggest asses in the field.

And what a battle in the Media Bracket. The claws came out and Andrew Sullivan held off a furious charge from Maureen Dowd. The final score 52-48 (just 14 votes). Sullivan now gets to go head-to-head with top seed Keith Olbermann.

LOL

Voted for:

Barack Obama over Michelle Obama (this was a tough one)

Nancy Pelosi over Barney Frank (Frank isn’t that bad. Pelosi is a lot worse since she has a more powerful position)

Keith Olbermann over Andrew Sullivan (Easy pick)

Donna Brazile over Oprah Winfrey (Too easy. Oprah may be annoying, but she is a good person. Brazile was a real asshole during the primaries and her recent comments show what kind of self-centered personality she has. I still can not forgive her for losing it for Al Gore).

Comment by Mandelay | 2009-03-31 22:44:45

Ditto.

Tough choices … lot of giggles!

Comment by snosandy | 2009-04-03 18:03:51

I, too, voted the same as above.

 
 

Comment by Pilgrim | 2009-03-31 22:47:19

I second these picks.

Comment by DaddysDarlin | 2009-03-31 23:36:36

My picks exactly.

Comment by PainkillerJayne | 2009-04-03 21:02:47

I picked those pricks too.

 
 
 

Comment by AnnieCollier | 2009-03-31 22:52:55

Pelosi/Frank was really hard. But I have to agree that Pelosi holds the power position and abuses it daily. Barney Elmer Fudd Frank is very, very bad though. I hope against hope he’ll be thrown out of office.

Comment by I'mFedUp | 2009-03-31 22:54:31

“Barney Elmer Fudd Frank”

LMFAO!!!

Comment by Chris | 2009-04-01 12:29:17

My picks the same. Barney will bounce himself out before too much longer once the hyenas finish with Dodd. Unless of course he has passed along favors to the Obama team. Dodd must have done something bad to not get protected from the axe.

 

Comment by Ferd Berfle | 2009-04-03 17:25:30

Same as mine.

 

Comment by DAB | 2009-04-03 20:43:02

Voted the same way except for Oprah over Brazille, primarily because she provided a critical turning point to the Obama campaign through her endorsement.

Comment by BlueTopaz | 2009-04-03 21:29:42

I wanted to vote for “O” on this for the same reason, but Donna was in on it from the very beginning (years ago) and did her tricks within the DNC. She has been anti-Clinton for ages. Her comments on air and in emails were completly ridiculous and rude.

 
 
 

Comment by AnnieCollier | 2009-03-31 22:49:51

On target with all but Oprah/Brazille.

I voted Oprah because she has a wider range of influence on the public perception of 0. Brazille, is of course, a terrible hag but although she’s a horrible person, her influence doesn’t go much beyond the Dims.

Comment by I'mFedUp | 2009-03-31 22:52:54

I voted Fraud, Pelosi, OLberbloodsucker and Brassiere too. I still can’t believe this list of jizzbrains are our “leaders.” Sigh.

 

Comment by lorac | 2009-04-01 01:57:02

Personally, I think her evil-ness in the primary influenced the outcome of the entire election. I think Hillary would have blown McCain out. But thanks to Brazille’s cheating and “undeclared” lying, she blocked Hillary. So I think she affected the whole country, not just the dems.

Comment by Lyn | 2009-04-01 11:08:47

Donna also was the one that came up with the idea that voters in the bigger cities (Obama ) would count more than the rest of the areas (the bitter clingers tend to live there) So Donna was the one that ultimatley stacked the deck because the first vote was voted.
then you add in her Unbiased BS on CNN, her saying Fairytale was racist and the nasty emails she send fellow Dems. She beat Oprah (who I might add threw fits when she found out 2 authors books were true and went on other tv shows basically calling them the worse people in the world,and their lives should be ruined, BUT Obama “wrote” a book with made up things and she decided he was the One and did all she could to get her viewers to vote him POTUS)
BUT no matter how hard Oprah worked for Barky if it wasn’t for Donna and other DNC leaders cheating, ect we would NOT be going threw the Hell of Obama beinbg Pres.

Comment by Lyn | 2009-04-01 11:38:21

stacked the deck because the first vote was voted.
should be BEFORE the first vote was cast.

I’m glad you put the quotes around leaders. Can’t remember a time when we’ve had a bigger group of clowns.

Comment by I'mFedUp | 2009-03-31 22:56:57

Yup, it’s Asshat Central at the WH.

Comment by arky | 2009-03-31 23:04:45

The DNC as well.

Comment by I'mFedUp | 2009-03-31 23:14:22

The DNC doesn’t even warrant us discussing anymore. That’s like talking about herpes at the dinner table.

Comment by andrew191 | 2009-04-03 22:57:28

Hey FedUp, my mom is a great cook, and we often complimented the excellence of her peas at the dinner table.

Comment by Seattle Moss | 2009-04-03 23:12:29

Being Italian my Mom makes the most wonderful pasta dishes.
However, after hearing about fedup’s Italian dishes I may be inclined to think otherwise.

Odorbite is clearly the biggest ass!

Comment by I'mFedUp | 2009-03-31 23:39:42

He might best the biggest A-Hole, but you gotta give Pelosi the Pig credit for being literally the most venal piece of America hating crap in power in our history. God I hate that witch.

Comment by Seattle Moss | 2009-03-31 23:47:15

Ok fed Up…You win!

Pelosi is the biggest ass for causing the Panic of 2008

Comment by I'mFedUp | 2009-03-31 23:48:20

What a smart man, SM, letting the lady be right. No wonder you are NQ’s in house hottie.

 
 

Comment by trixta | 2009-04-01 11:55:07

Of all the contestants above, it is Pelosi who is running the show. During the primaries, she was instrumental in twisting delegate arms to support BO and now she is setting the tone and tenor of the Obama presidency. She holds the most power and thus deserves the award.

 
 
 

Comment by elise | 2009-03-31 23:18:23

Sullivan is clearly outmatched and has very little chance against a seasoned ass like Olbermann.

Comment by J.J. (The PUMA) | 2009-03-31 23:19:15

This contest is not fair. All the other contestants are amatuers, whereas Keith Olbermann is a professional A-Hole.

Comment by sowsear | 2009-03-31 23:25:16

BO has been professionally “groomed” (and I use that word loosely)

Comment by Ferd Berfle | 2009-04-03 17:28:39

I prefer the term “programmed”, as he is an automaton.

 
 

Comment by donna darko | 2009-03-31 23:36:43

The biggest A-hole, Obama.
The professional A-hole, Olberman.
And the two biggest gender sellouts of 2008, Pelosi and Brazile.

March Madness is shaping up nicely.

Comment by Diana | 2009-03-31 23:46:10

Go Donna!

It looks like next weeks picks are going to extremely hard. Can we get a third choice next week of Both? ;)

Comment by donna darko | 2009-04-01 13:40:47

I don’t know how March Madness works but these are some of the biggest A-holes in politics.

 
 

Comment by Andy | 2009-03-31 23:51:32

Excellent classification donna darko!! You are right on.

For 20 years of my adult life I’ve lived in a state where I’ve never voted for a winner (except our great state auditor Brian Sontag, (D)). I can’t describe how good it feels to be finally four for four. Very fun, fabulous, and fantastic. I’ve found few functions from which I’ve felt finer, or more fulfilled. Only one comes to mind, and it DOES begin with an “F”.

 

Comment by chris from Chicago | 2009-04-01 00:07:22

Obama is the bigger ass without a doubt
Pelosi is a no brainer..
as is keith Olberman

I seem to be in disagreement with most of you..I cannot bear that opportunistic Oprah, threw all her women under a big bus…she NEVER supported any political candidate and when she finally did she did not support a superbly qualified woman and instead backed an inexperienced black man. Years and Years of Oprah shows on female self esteem..out the door!…In my mind, Oprah’s actions were more detrimental than Donna Brazile’s, who is by far the less evolved of the two. Brazile did the dirty work of her party, and if she had not someone else would have…I think that she is heinous, but Oprah is more heinous in my opinion!

Comment by the gal from cal | 2009-04-01 02:52:41

Oprah went with race there is no other explanation…

Comment by donna darko | 2009-04-01 13:47:21

Like Obama, she threw her base, white suburban women, under the bus. That makes her a gender sellout. If her audience that made her rich wasn’t white women, I wouldn’t fault her for choosing her race over gender.

Brazile is in a way worse than Pelosi because she was constantly spouting BS and making ridiculous statements on CNN. She still is. Pelosi had more power but wasn’t BSing to us every day.

Comment by donna darko | 2009-04-03 21:03:30

Pelosi and Brazile made the Final Four because they’re gender sellouts. Add annoying race-baiter to Brazile. Too bad Roland Martin wasn’t in the running.

 
 
 

Comment by MrX | 2009-04-01 03:07:11

Brazille is responsible for Obama. She started planning this from years ago. She’s the one who moved up the primary for SC. She’s the one who made sure FL and MI didn’t count. I’m sorry, but Oprah has nothing on Brazille. If Brazille wasn’t there, it would have been a different story.

Comment by chris from Chicago | 2009-04-01 10:57:25

thanks for the heads up guys…I appreciate it…
I dislike both of them equally and intensely…
I no longer subscribe to any Oprah publications, I boycott her show,or whatever show she is on..
and will not buy anything that she even remotely endorses…or endorses her.
as for Brazile..we will take care of her in the next election cycle..she certainly has neutralized herself as a supporter, [in any capacity] of women, anywhere and for any position…who could ever trust her? she is a Benedict Arnold spawn…
She will eat it big time…
from my vantage point as a woman…
we have looong memories…
we do not forget…
and in many circumstances we do not forgive..
her nefarious actions qualify her for both categories..uuugh!

 

Comment by Lyn | 2009-04-01 12:15:04

Donna also came up with the idea that votes in cities counted more than votes in the rest of the areas of states. MANY states Obama won the cities (wether fairly or not) BUT Hillary won all the other counties, and sometime Hillary won all the areas of the state, but because of the way delegates were alloted, Obama would get almost the same amount or even more delegates than Hillary, Which is how she won the Popular vote but not the delegates.

You guys are on a roll keep it up!!!!

 

Comment by I'mFedUp | 2009-04-01 02:56:44

Did Donkey Brassiere send ACORN in to stuff the ballot box in her favor?

 

Comment by MrX | 2009-04-01 03:02:08

It was tough picking Barack over Michelle, but ultimately, there was no real choice here.

I still say Andrew Sullivan is the bigger ass. Still, I’m not disapointed by the result.

 

Comment by jamy | 2009-04-01 06:41:05

This was much more difficult than I thought it would be. I went with Barack, Pelosi, Olbermann, and Brazile; Which appears to be the trend so far.
I think I chose them, because they seem the most caught up in their own Ass-holiness.

 

Comment by ame | 2009-04-01 07:01:21

Oprah and Donna are pretty equal as far as asses go… and both have one thing in common – both think the only opinion that matters is their own.

 

Comment by wodiej | 2009-04-01 09:43:24

LMAO…very funny comments today

 

Comment by joker | 2009-04-01 17:35:14

I wish people would start refering to O as Comrad O….I refuse to use his name……..

Comment by J.J. (The P.U.M.A.) | 2009-04-01 18:30:42

How about “Chairman O”?

 

Comment by BlueTopaz | 2009-04-03 21:45:22

I think BOjob is funny. Can’t remember who started it, but it’s brilliant.

 
 

Comment by J.J. (The P.U.M.A.) | 2009-04-01 18:33:14

Chris Matthews was robbed!! ACORN must have been stuffing the ballot boxes.

i voted for all the winners.lol.i sure can pick em…

 

Comment by LisaB | 2009-04-01 19:02:50

OK. I had to pick Olbermann over Sullivan. Realistically, they are both worthy of biggest ass. BUT Olbermann is on television, so his idiocy is much more visible. THat’s the only reason to pick him over Sullivan, the uterus-obsessed.

But man those brackets are tough!!!

 

Comment by CentralMass | 2009-04-02 05:12:40

Might I suggest that Chris Matthews be given the “Lifetime achievemnet award”.

Though might have fallen by the wayside since the primary, being such a large @$$ for so long should not go unrewarded.

 

Comment by beebop | 2009-04-03 16:49:33

What a worthy slate! Any of them are deserving “winners” ….. lol

 

Comment by Buzz Latte | 2009-04-03 21:53:06

Dang, it’s gonna be a tough pick between Obama and Pelosi, just saying.

Comment by Docelder | 2009-04-03 23:49:47

But Obama is just the guy, he is a nobody really without the people who put him where he is. He can’t even speak without having the script placed in front of him. Pelosi runs circles around him. Evil trumps narcissism at least to me.
