The 2009 James Taggart Cup
http://speedgibson.powerblogs.com/posts/1245159490.shtml


   Last year, I created and awarded the first ever James Taggart Cup to
   Michael Brodkorb, who had lashed out at Drew Emmer as a "[1]Man Not in
   the Arena."
   James Taggart was the president of the railroad in Atlas Shrugged.
   Always clueless in a fog of irrational ideology, he was always
   claiming that his many failures could not have been foreseen. "Nobody
   can blame me!" was his refrain.
   Michael Brodkorb is now Deputy Chair of the Republican Party in
   Minnesota. I wish him well, and hope he has learned something about
   tact since then. It is time to turn to 2009, and the choice seems
   rather obvious to me.
   She's not the only guilty party, but she's been making the most noise
   about the thankfully completed 2009 Minnesota Legislative Regular
   Session. She repeatedly has jabbed the Governor for doing his job, a
   job he must do only because she didn't do her own job. And she takes
   no responsibility for any of it, for wasting months of session time,
   for not taking the Governor at his word, for being oblivious to the
   recession, and most of all I think, for blindly following her equally
   inept Senate counterpart.
   So, I hereby award the second annual James Taggart Cup to Margaret
   Anderson-Kelliher, Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives.
