Yeah, not kidding.
Real Clear Politics: Clinton Honored With “Red Dress Award” By Woman’s Day Magazine
Liberals, it seems, are like toddlers.
Did you ever say “Good job!” to a toddler trying to eat a cup of pudding with a spoon?
Yep, the kid will light up with joy.
So, too, Libs seem to thrive on unearned, undeserved awards.
Who could forget Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize for, as Tammy says, waking up in the morning.
And more recently, Ronan Farrow received the Cronkite Award, after just two days on the job, for… er… showing up for work for two consecutive days.
Via Jim Geraghty: National Review Online – Guess Who’s Giving the Keynote Address at SXSW This Year?
…. If you are a key Democratic-party figure, you will be saluted and celebrated relentlessly, even in ways that are so off-base they’re ridiculous. Men’s Fitness named Barack Obama one of the 25 fittest men in America twice . . . while he was still a smoker. Hillary Clinton received 19 awards in the year after she left the State Department, including the Helen Keller Humanitarian Award, The Elton John Foundation’s Founders’ Award, and the Michael Kors Award for Outstanding Community Service. From 2005 to 2008, the Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album went to Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama again. Really? Those were the single-best spoken word performances in the country four years running? Better than all those other nominees, like George Carlin, Steve Martin, Maya Angelou, Bob Newhart, David Sedaris?
The Weekly Standard then chimed in with this:
Geraghty is right to be put off by this excess, but… He forgot to mention perhaps the most undeserving accolade of all time. Last June, the National Father’s Day Council presented Bill Clinton with an award for “Father of the Year” at a banquet in New York City.
We would also note that just last week, the former president accepted the Red Dress Award from Woman’s Day on behalf of the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, presumably because receiving the Blue Dress Award in the name of his wife and daughter would have been especially awkward. If these unnecessary accolades don’t compound the irony and drive the point home, we don’t know what will.
One question, though. Those “19 awards” that Hillary received in the past year:
Was one of them: “First Secretary of State to Have A U.S. Ambassador Raped And Murdered On Her Watch” ?
Just wondering…

More Dr. Seuss: One mess, Two mess, Red dress, Blue dress.
Wikip: One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish is a 1960 children’s book by Dr. Seuss. A simple rhyming book for learner readers, it is a book with a freewheeling plot about a boy and a girl, and the many amazing creatures they have for friends and pets.
Yep. Bill & Hillary Clinton have many amazing creatures for friends and pets.
Finally; One Fish,Two Fish is a Chinese restaurant that serves sushi on Pennsylvania Ave. in Wash., DC.
Nice wagging finger broach would go good with that.
True… all he needs now is a “White Dress” association and he will have authentic red/white/blue “boner” fides…
I think Monica Lewinsky’s stained dress should be on display in the Smithsonian.
Will the red dress have a stain on it? I’m just asking…Or maybe they could just soil the cover of the next issue of the magazine.
Woman’s Day stained themselves with Clinton — not that they minded. If any conservative women read this, they should stop. These corporations only notice if it hits them on the bottom line.
Relative to Awards for Bill, isn’t it time that he gets the Nobel Peace Prize?
He didn’t intervene in Rwanda and the Hutu slaughtered the Tutsi. He did intervene in Yugoslavia/Croatia and while he stopped the war, the people are now starving and the politicians don’t care.
In 1984, Sarajevo Yugoslavia hosted the winter olympics. 30 years later, Sarajevo Bosnia is burning. The peace accord put in place for the area after the war 20 yrs. ago established 3 Presidents and 14 Prime Ministers. Excellent BBC article on the political elites not caring and the people with clear eyes of the situation. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26549245
I think they should change the magazine’s name to Abused Woman’s Syndrome Day. It appears that nothing is as it appears. All these people that are deemed the most important to hold the highest offices of this nation and fail miserably we continue to emulate after their dirty deeds are done only because we cannot bear the truth.
