Dickhead of the Week - Minor Dickheads Edition

It feels a bit unfair to pick on Randy "Richie" Cunningham. After all, he pleaded guilty to taking bribes from lobbyists and making himself rich in the meantime. I know he probably only admitted his guilt because he got caught, but unlike so many other Dickheads in the Senate, House, or White House, he did actually admit his guilt. And now, that corruptest of corrupt Republican Party is joining the parties of denunciation. That said, he's a Dickhead for what he did.

I'm adding a couple Democrats to my list for the first time in a while. Freddy Ferrer is a Minor Dickhead this week. Minor, mostly, in his sheer insignificance. And he's feeling pretty petty about his insignificance. He's blaming Bloomberg, the media, and pollsters for his mayoral loss here in New York, rather than taking responsibility for being a lifelong dullard, who felt entitled to be mayor simply for being Latino. If you want my vote, inspire me, Dickhead! Hell, even now you're not saying anything that makes me regret voting Green-not-Machine.

There were also a handful of Democrats who went hiding from John Murtha's It's-Time-To-Bring-Our-Troops-Home-Now speech. (Obviously, it would have been easy to hand out Dickhead awards to the many Republicans that attacked Murtha - from Dick(head) Cheney to Jean Schmidt who called Murtha a coward.) But it's time to call one particular Democrat to the carpet for his incredible spineless Dickheadedness...

Chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Rahm Emmanuel distanced himself from Murtha's impassioned speech with, "Jack Murtha went out and spoke for Jack Murtha." This is the guy in charge of 2006 midterms for the House? This man's a Dickhead, and this man is making Dickheads out of the entire Democratic Party.
