Asshat of the Year

The competition was tough.  So many candidates, but there can only be one true Asshat.  To tell the truth, there was someone else in mind for the honor and the article was almost complete when I was told of an article in a Canadian newspaper written by the eventual winner.

Jack 'Asshat' Todd

While it is certainly nothing new to hear a leftwing nutjob slamming Canadian sports celebrity/broadcaster/conservative/favorite son Don Cherry, it is the background of the article's writer that made this an easy choice.

Montreal Gazette sportswriter Jack Todd is this year's Asshat of the Year.
 
Not for his condemnation of Cherry, or his being offended by some of Cherry's antics.  Todd wins because this jerk-off isn't even a real Canadian.  He is an American by birth. 

What ensured his victory is he is an American Vietnam War deserter who had the audacity to pussy out of his responsibility in the 1970's, flee to Canada, and now decades later criticizes Don Cherry - a man who knows more about being Canadian (and living up to commitments and responsibilities) than Todd ever will.



Don 'Grapes' Cherry and Blue



Imagine a Canadian turning his back on his own country, scurrying to the U.S., then proceeding to criticize a popular, home-grown American icon.

Benefiting from a then-Liberal government, Todd now holds Canadian citizenship.  More is the pity.  This asshat possesses absolutely no moral or ethical ground by which to give his opinion on anything or anyone, much less Don Cherry.

Typical of a leftwing loon, I guess.  No surprise that he has turned his running away into a novel. 

Also not surprising is his career in the Canadian media, especially in Quebec (you think the American MSM holds a leftwing bias?  That's nothing compared to the Pravda-inspired media outlets in the Great White North).

Just stick to hockey stories and high school football scores, Jack.  Leave the criticism of Canadian icons to real Canadians.
