The On-Crack Ass Clown for July, 2016

July is one of those months in which we have not two, but three Fridays to dedicate to dishonoring individuals worthy of our Ass Clown awards, and so as we crawl panting and gasping into the final Friday of the month, it's time to announce that - for the only the third time in the history of this award - we have a dual award for the

On-Crack Ass Clown for July, 2016

The award goes first to

Democratic National Committee Chair

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Ms Wasserman Schultz is a Democratic Representative from Florida's 23rd congressional district, and also served as the chair of the Democratic National Committee until she resigned this past week after Wikileaks released internal DNC e-mails that indicate the national committee conspired to undermine the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders. She was already in trouble with the larger Democratic party because of her perceived shortcomings as a fund-raiser, tendency to appoint personal aides to positions of authority in the party, prioritizing loyalty over competence, and ineffectiveness as a spokesperson on the national stage.

Ms Wasserman Schultz had become a serious liability to the Democrats, who had hoped to run a smooth and issue-focused convention as a contrast to the angry and chaotic GOP conclave, and so she had to go.

For singlehandedly throwing the Democratic convention into turmoil, handing the Republicans a golden opportunity to deflect attention away from the dumpster fire of their own convention, and providing an opportunity for the GOP to deflect attention from the glaring shortcomings of their chosen candidate, Florida Representative and DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz is named co-winner of our On-Crack Ass Clown award for July, 2016.

But wait, there's more!

The co-winner of our On-Crack Ass Clown Award for July, 2016, has already won this award four times in the last six years -

GOP Presidential Candidate

Donald Trump

Earlier this week, Mr Trump invited Russia to meddle in the US election by releasing missing e-mails he assumes they stole from Secretary Clinton's e-mail server. What he said was this:

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing ... I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

Now it's true that Mr Trump did not actually ask Russia to hack US computers, as has been alleged. And he later tried to explain his behavior away by saying he'd simply been sarcastic. But he wants to be president, and presidents can't just fire off the first things that come into their minds, calling their judgement and fitness for high office into question.

For yet another example of the thoughtless and unprofessional behavior that has demonstrates his complete lack of qualification to be president, Donald Trump is named - for the fifth time - co-winner of the On-Crack Ass Clown award for July 2016.

Have a good day. Come back tomorrow for our final Cartoon Saturday of July.

More thoughts then.
