Top Ten Everything of 2008

Fascinating. No McCain or Palin clips. I guess the embarrassing moments were all on mic?

I'd suggest the Top Ten Journalistic Whitewashes of McCain's Campaign. Fortunately the top eight had already played out by September..

There's a separate gaffe reel. I see McCain is he first.

This is the type of thing blogging was made for:

My highlight is still Carney's reaction shot to Scarborough just effin' his way through the program.

@MS,
JJ's link reminds me,
You've been more attuned than many to the debate over interrogation techniques. Can we anticipate any more substantive posts? This one's fun - but there is a lot of serious stuff going on too.)

I'd second Dirks' request, MS. I'd also recommend what digby said.

I didn't see anything for the top 10 blow hards who need to just STFU.

Here's mine: Rush, Savage, Hannity, Kristol, O'Reilly, Newt Gingrich, Chris Matthews, Fox & Friends, Rev Wright and Maureen Dowd.

I second this request. I'd also like to see "Top Ten Moments From the McCain Barbecue". We've all seen the footage of Holly Bailey on the tire swing and Jon Martin giving Cindy flowers, but I thin there's a lot more there.

And how about "Top Ten Dumb Ass Things That Appeared on Mark Halperin's The Page"?

Top Ten Swampland Commenters?

"Top 10 Times Cincinnatus Told MS To Go F@ck Himself."

Someone help me here: I understand the Three Stooges aka McSame, Grimm and DearMan have just left India on the way to Pakistan to read the riot act to all and sundry. Is this so? Are these guys freelancing?

gunny, I think you could slip an Olberman in there.

Top ten Cox tweets?

Jay-Olbermann would make my top 20, but not my top 10.

Is the tanking number of comments a symptom of the massive layoffs of cubicle jockeys?

Or, having found ourselves on the precipice of total collapse, and the media having either failed to warn us of the coming storm or having participated in the culture of distraction that prevented our recognition of that storm AND having shouted down/silenced the few brave souls pointing to the approaching disaster AND having laid off reporters in order to better afford the likes of Bill Kristol and David Broder...have people just given up on these clowns? So unfair!

Top Ten MS Brain Farts?
.
Top Ten JK *Concerned*...Comments.
.
Top Ten KT Mens' Room Postings.
.
Top Ten Ana Snarks.
.
Top Seven JNS Substantive Posts (she hasn't had that many, tho better lately)
.
Top Three Mike Murphy Comments (All Three Posts, actually).

This is a dead thread, but I'm going to make some suggestions for the gaffe list. First, I don't think "spreading the wealth" was a gaffe. The Republicans and some of the MSM tried to spin it that way, but spreading the wealth in a time of unprecedented inequality - oh right, it's not unprecedented: it's at 1929 levels - isn't radical or socialist. It's common sense. Second, how did Snipergate not make the list? That was a huge gaffe. OTOH, the RFK remark was something only slightly paranoid Obama supporters briefly got upset about. IMO, a gaffe should genuinely be stupid, not just something that seems stupid when people try to interpret it that way. Also, I know it was impossible to include all of Palin's gaffes. But the first amendment one was my favorite. The Vice-President's duties one was also great. Basically, one of Palin's efforts to interpret the constitution should have made the list. Finally, Biden's remark about Clinton was neither really stupid or a big campaign story. It doesn't match his classic FDR/television gaffe.
