Well, it has been an exciting year in politics. From Tunis to Boston people took to the streets to demand change. Meanwhile, the world’s politicians continued with their usual asshattery, especially in the US, where another election promises more annoying declarations from the sad group of candidates who seek our votes. The Crasstalk News and Politics team has been here to hold your hand as we pass the horrific car accident that is our future, and we have picked out a few choice moments of the year for you to laugh at through the tears. Here are our picks for the best (and by best we mean lulzy) political moments of the year.
Rick Perry Let’s Us Know He’s A Moron
Can someone tell Perry that America is just not ready for another mediocre Texan yet?

Donald Trump Figures Out We Don’t Care About Him
Jesus, he really is America’s most annoying personality. First he was pretending to candidate, then he pretended he was going to hold a debate, and now he is pretending to be a candidate again. Trump wants you to know it is not fair to America to jeopardize his potential candidacy. Good luck with that, USA!

Eric Holder Says Lying is a “State of Mind”
Attorney General Eric Holder is in hot water with Congress over the Fast and Furious gun running scandal. When guns supplied by the US government began to turn up at crime scenes in Mexico, the operation became a scandal and Congress began to investigate. Here Holder explains why lying to Congress isn’t always lying.
Obama and Sarkozy Trash Netanyahu
If you can’t say something nice…

Anthony Weiner Learns to Use Twitter
It was merely pathetic that a Congressman was tweeting pictures of his junk to ladies on the internets, until he made up a really stupid lie to cover it up. Weiner was uncovered as a total moron, and worst of all, he had to apologize to the evil Andrew Breitbart.
Newt Checks Mittens
Man, this is stone cold. It also proves why Gingrich is simply too much of a dick to be President.

Jon Kyl and his “Factual Statement”
In April Senator Jon Kyle (R-AZ, this is no surprise to anyone), claimed from the Senate floor that 90% of Planned Parenthood services we related to providing abortion. Since this was obvious BS, Kyl was immediately called to task by media and activists. Kyl explained by creating a stunningly frank catchphrase that will be useful to politicians for centuries. Bonus: Kyl had his statement altered in the Congressional Record to cover up his lie.
Citizen Heroically Tells Gingrich to Fuck Off
America, fuck yeah!
Crazy Eyes Responds to the State of the Union
What in the fucking fuck? Michele Bachman’s bizarre and incoherent response to Obama’s State of the Union Address is just plain creepy. How she parlayed this bizarre response into a credible run for president is lost on me. Her decision to not look directly at the camera is worthy of a dissertation by some enterprising communication student somewhere.
Herman Cain Loves Pokemon
The announcement that Herman Cain was leaving the Republican Primary Race was a cruel blow to the CT Politics Team. Soul Pizza had a special place in our hearts. However, he gave us one beautiful parting shot on his way out.
