After hearing about this earlier this morning (what I’m about to feature) I could not think of a way that I could possibly write anything damning enough to give this Smelly Turd (Timothy Egan) an honest idea as to how I feel about him. So, I have given birth to Giovanni’s “Smelly Turd Award”, and Mr. Egan is the very first recipient. Not only does he get the very first one, but he also has the distinction of getting a rating of four turds. This guy really earned them!
Yesterday, this elitist piece of dung wrote what I guess he thinks is a review of Joe The Plumbers new book. Here are his opening lines…
“The unlicensed pipe fitter known as Joe the Plumber is out with a book this month, just as the last seconds on his 15 minutes are slipping away. I have a question for Joe: Do you want me to fix your leaky toilet?
I didn’t think so. And I don’t want you writing books…”
I have provided the link so you can read the rest of this turd’s article. Warning: Elitist crap ensues, so please take your blood pressure meds before reading.

“Timothy Egan is a columnist for The New York Times.”
That explains it. No wonder the NYT’s is almost broke.
Gio-
Gio, I so love your ingenious idea of a “Smelly Turd Award” — and of presenting the first Smelly award (FOUR turds!!) to that posterior orifice Timothy Egan. He is yet another example of rank elitism, of which this election has an abundance, all heaped by pointy-nosed liberals on working-class (real or perceived) conservatives.
For a wonderful satire of Egan, go to the brilliant Iowahawk’s pretend “first draft” of Egan’s op/ed: http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2008/12/typing-without-a-clue.html
