Newt Gingrich's blaming of New Orleans' 9th Ward residents for a "failure of citizenship" by being unable to "get out of the way of a hurricane" -- remarks jointly pushed into the spotlight by this blog and Huffington Post's Matt Browner Hamlin -- won the coveted Bronze award in Keith Olbermann's daily "Worst Persons In The World" segment.

He was beaten out for the Silver and Gold by Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, and there's no shame in that. Crooks and Liars has the video.
