Announcing the Teflon Weasel Award

We stole the term “Teflon Weasel” from @DougPreston, a Twitter friend of ours who is a major contributor at  Liberty’s Army.  He used it to describe Nevada Senator Harry Reid who is the Senate Majority Leader (until 2010) and is, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, part of the liberal comedy team, Dumb and Dumber. You tell us who is who.

But we digress. Taking Doug’s very eloquent phrase, Teflon Weasel, we created and award: The Teflon Weasel Award which we will give out as occasion requires.

Let’s take a moment to define Teflon Weasel. According to Dictionary.com’s Jargon File, weasel is, “one who deliberately or accidentally does things that are stupid or ill-advised. Roughly synonymous with loser.”

Also according to Dictionary.com, teflon is an adjective used to describe a person who is “characterized by imperviousness to blame or criticism: a Teflon politician.”

Therefore, the Teflon Weasel Award will be given to “weasely” people who seem to get away with everything.

There are so many people, mostly politicians (from all parties) and celebrities that there will be no shortage of people to nominate.

That’s where you come in. we will be asking for you nominations and votes.

Happy weasel hunting.
