Douchebag of the Week (July 18-24)
Up until Friday, your editors here had pretty much thought that Deadspin had already made a pretty convincing argument that nobody had a rougher week than the folks at ESPN—with two highly douchebag-worthy offenses there, no less.
But lo and behold Friday when the term douchebag seemed to be the only logical way to respond when shadeofgrey asked, “This guy CAN’T be for real,...

Douchebag of the Week (May 16-22)?
By now, you’ve certainly seen this one:
Memorial Day took your editors here at LOL Douchebags away from the computers a little longer than we’d normally be accustomed to. As a result, we’re not quite sure whether Mancow Muller’s six-second experiment earns him the full douchebag treatment or if he might have actually earned himself a possible douchebag reprieve.
How...

WatchDouchebag of the Week (Apr. 4-10)
Just in time for Easter, it appears that the douchebaggery of Ken Blackwell has risen it’s ugly head once again. This April 8 Hardball clip is perhaps the most priceless video example of the previously documented instances that Mr. Blackwell has exhibited this behavior.
Coincidentally, Christopher Hitchens was giving Blackwell grief five years ago.

You always know you’re in for something good when Bernie Goldberg says, “Let me speak with some expertise here.” Talking down to people is something he probably thinks he’s pretty good at.
Goldberg is the author of titles such as “100 People Who Are Screwing Up America” (which Boston Globe columnist Cathy Young suggested...
Douchebag of the Week (Feb. 28-Mar. 6)
Give the people what they want, we say. Five years ago, a poll determined nearly two-thirds of Americans opposed torture. And earlier this month, another poll determined that nearly the same number of Americans want an investigation into the anti-terror tactics of the Bush Administration. So it was fairly sensible when the Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings on Wednesday based on the proposal...

[Ed. note for Tumblr dashboard readers: There are multiple videos embedded in this post that won’t show up via the dashboard. You can see them if you read via our main page.]
It’s a wondrous thing to watch, one’s 15 minutes of fame coming and going right before your very eyes. And such was the magical case last week with one Rick Santelli, CNBC on-air editor turned heroic...

Douchebag of the Week (Feb. 14-20)
It was certainly a lively little week out there on the internets. When Facebook decided to tweak its terms of service, users proceeded to shit a brick and the social networking site promptly reversed course.
Why, even here on the platform for our site, Tumblr founder David Karp got himself into a bit of a pickle by changing its policy as well. How was the suspension of five fairly prominent...
Douchebag of the Week (Feb. 7-13)
It seems appropriate to recognize somebody really special this Valentine’s Day and we think Kevin hit the nail on the head this week with one Kenneth W. Starr, who has “made a career out of making a big deal out of stupid crap.”
No longer limiting himself to the confines of an ex-president’s bedroom, Starr now wants to try and interfere in about 18,000 other sex lives in...
Douchebag of the Week (Jan. 31-Feb. 6)
Maybe you saw the much ballyhooed photo in the news recently and thought the same thing as us: “Imagine the lung capacity that guy has!”
But this is America we’re talking about, so naturally the photo (taken in November, by the way) caused the usual outrage from the group of individuals that can typically be relied on to cast judgment on everybody else’s moral fiber.
But...

On Friday evening, Larry King had a night he’d “been excited about for weeks.” Indeed, King had the first TV interview with Los Angeles Dogers manager Joe Torre “about his controversial new book, The Yankee Years.
While King failed to make mention of it at any point during the entire interview, Torre did note early that the book was co-written by Tom Verducci. While...

Douchebag of the Week (Jan. 17-23)
Curses and superstitions are, in many ways, the best things that could have ever happened to the Chicago Cubs. For years, silly beliefs about goats and black cats have provided excuses for relative futility when most any layman could see there was either a better team in the opposing dugout or the “Lovable Losers” simply weren’t very good.
But when the Cubs finished with a 97-64...

You Know What It's Time To Retire?
alexblagg:
…trying to retire the term “douchebag”.
I’m sorry to inform you of this, everyone, but after years of extensive scientific analysis and research, it has been conclusively proven that there is simply no other word in the language of man that can replicate the perfect linguistic and phonetic harmony of “douchebag” as a blanket term to describe people who are terrible.
Different...
