Progressive think tank names J. Kenneth Blackwell Villain of the Year

[Padme Amidala]

From their press release:

"Villain of the Year: J. Kenneth Blackwell, Ohio Secretary of State

"Kenneth Blackwell actively worked to disenfranchise as many voters in Ohio as possible. He obstructed individuals trying to exercise their right to vote. He obstructed and prevented an accurate counting of ballots in Ohio. This most certainly changed the outcome of the Presidential election in Ohio and the United States."

3. I agree with the assessment. But I don't think that there are any...

legitimate "think tanks" that actually have the words "think tank" in their official name or website address.

Now, after looking at their website, I still don't think there are any legitimate "think tanks" that call themselves "think tanks".

6. Actually, it's one of the best think tanks in Southern California

It's not one of the conservative right wing think tanks you may be referring to.

The participants include lawyers, engineers, professors, investigators, writers, public speakers and others who volunteer long hours to researching matters of political importance. It is also one of the most effective groups in terms of making a difference.

5. I have to disagree, I think it's blackwell

You don't have to be smart, you simply have to be evil, selfish, and racist. That's blackwell, all wrapped up in one insincere package of Republican rhetoric.

9. If he hadn't fixed the election in Ohio, Kerry would be Pres on 1/20

They are all slime though, aren't they?

10. I don't think villain necessarily equates to smart.

7. And he'll probably run for president some day

Isn't that the way all the best criminals on the right get rewarded?
