Surely Chris Mitchell, editor of The Oz, for running prominent story of the climate change coverage award HE received… from the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association.

Honestly, you couldn’t write this stuff.

Joe Hockey for seriously pathetic graphing skills. Was quite impressed he was able to use a laminating machine to dress up those props.

Surprised no-one went for Barnaby Joyce and his “Spac attack” comment. Talk about the gun backfiring in your face. That was funnier than LOL kittens.

I nominate the so called new generation of porn peddlers on Twitter (Britney’s Sex Tape). I have come across some lovely, clever people who have some innovative solutions for delivering naughty stuff via mobile. That’s the way of the future

I nominate The Hon. Joel Fitzgibbon. Obviously, he either was not conservative enough for the Dept of Defense; or more likely: he did not buy the boys enough toys. Either way, he forgot to duck the continuing friendly fire from his department (allegedly)

I second james beattle. “Angry Viewers’ its a sketch/satire comedy show hits and misses. Keep moaning and it will be back to Hey Day comedies.

I’d have to also nominate the Air France phone operator for being upset when I said “Down the shallow end” in response to her asking where I’d like to sit.

Fielding for going to a bunch of climate change skeptics to get more information on which to decide if humans are causing global warming.
I mean really it may not be all humanity’s fault but far out.

I am surprised to see China is not yet mentioned. Anyway…

Chaser desrves a qualification for failing to realize that Howard era is over and that Rudd deserves a different comedic paradigm.

But my official entry is: the 46 percent of people in New South Wales that would still give their two party distributed vote preferences to Labor.

And China…

“Angry viewers” of the ABC who whinged about the Chaser skit. It’s just satire people!

Not greed, sir. A veritable cornucopia of Cnut-worthy options.
