The Best Of 2011: The Jon Swift Roundup

Over at Vagabond Scholar, Battochio continues his tradition of honoring blogging legend Jon Swift with the best posts of 2011 from smaller blogs, as chosen by the bloggers themselves.  Do check out some of the better pieces there from friends of mine, Tbogg, Kay, Tom Levenson, Sarah Proud And Tall, Blue Gal, and bjkeefe.

I was asked to contribute again this year, but, well, I'm shy.  If there's one piece I could have decided on for Bats, it would have been this one.

Wouldn't You Like To Be A. Weiner Too

And it's not even a couple of hours before Anthony Weiner gets Manic Progressive'd in the back.  Ed Schultz in the parlor with the candlestick as he calls on Weiner to resign.




He then goes on to discuss with Rev. Al Sharpton of all people how Weiner has failed the Dems and needs to resign now (but run again in 2012 and let the voters decide). Hey Ed?  Coming from a guy who just got off of getting a second chance?  Methinks the host doth protest too much on this one.  Ed Schultz?  Not helping one iota.

If being an idiot is grounds for resignation from Congress, the place would be empty.

Now with Bernie Sanders action figure with 8 hour filibuster action!
