Whether Bush is indeed the Worst President In American History is perhaps still open to debate, but the fact that he and Cheney are The Biggest Dicks of The Decade is really beyond doubt.

Of course, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and the rest of the warmongering, neo-con team of hawks all deserve a mention too. As do all the members of Congress who went along for the ride.

Huge Dicks, every last one of them!


Honorable Mentions:

Joe Lieberman
U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman is not quite important enough to make this list, but he is, without question, a Dick of magnificent proportions. From backing the Iraq War wholeheartedly, to backing and campaigning for John McCain for President (even though Lieberman himself was supposedly a Democrat), to personally killing the public option in the Senate's healthcare reform bill, this one-time Democratic Vice Presidential candidate has time and time again proved himself worthy of at least getting a mention on this list. Incoherent Dick!

Religious Fundamentalists of Every Stripe
Freakin' fundamentalists have always been a pox on peace-loving societies throughout history, but during this past decade they have really come out of the woodwork to dominate world affairs. Whether we're talking about al-Qaeda, Ahmadinejad, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the almost-complete takeover of the Republican party in America by fundamentalist Christians, or the rise of hardcore religious wackos in both Israel and Gaza, fundamentalists have been wrecking havoc across the globe. Medieval-Minded Dicks!


Tony Blair

For selling his soul (and his nation down the river) for nothing more than a chance to be Bush's lapdog. For helping to sell the Iraq War using any means necessary. And for giving a giant finger to the people of the U.K., who were strongly against the war but whose opinion was dismissed as nothing more than a minor irritant on the road to Best Friends status with Tony's beloved buddy Bush. Pompous Dick!

The Mainstream Media

Those responsible for the buffoonery at FOX News are obviously dicks of the first degree, but the fact is the entire mainstream media seemed to become a version of FOXNews for a few years there during the past decade.

Why exactly am I labeling the entire mainstream media a bunch of dicks? Well, here's the short list:

For mindlessly going along with the war propaganda that was spoon-fed to them by the Bush White House. For becoming cheerleaders for the so-called war on terror and the illegal invasion of Iraq. For completely abdicating their responsibility to seek out truth. And, almost just as bad, for becoming far more concerned with celebrity gossip than real news. Gullible, Spineless, Complicit Dicks!

For slowly dismantling democracy and a free press in Russia, Vladimir Putin. Vainglorious Dick!

For the ongoing oppression of the Burmese people and for keeping the Gandhi of Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi, locked up for most of the past two decades, the thugs of the Burmese Junta. Eternal Dicks!

Karl Rove, for orchestrating the whole sordid Bush legacy. Master Dick!


Finally, one last thing, do you think that when Cheney's parents named him Dick they somehow knew he'd one day ooze the very essence of dickishness and even top a Biggest Dicks of The Decade list or was it just one of those little accidents of history?
