Buffoon of the Week Staff
It may seem like all fun and games, but we take our Buffoonery very seriously around here. So much so, that over the years, we’ve developed a set of rules that our Nominating Committee abides by when discussing possible nominees.
- We are equal opportunity offenders. We don’t care if you think Ted Cruz is bae or if AOC is your spirit animal. This isn’t a Republican website. This isn’t a Democrat website. All people of every political strata are eligible for nomination because any person of any political strata can be a buffoon… even you! So leave your political leanings at the door. You’ll have a lot more fun that way.
- People who are widely considered Buffoons are off-limits. We’re on the hunt for new and innovative political buffoonery. There are just some names who, no matter what reason they are in the news, will just automatically elicit a knee-jerk reaction to call them a buffoon. You know their names: Trump. Hillary. Obama. Weiner. These four (and probably more as we go along) are considered Buffoon Emeritus and are hereby retired from competition.
- Keep it clean. There are several ways to interact with the site and our show. But remember, there is a big difference between witty sarcasm and being a douche. Don’t cross that line. Have fun debating who the biggest buffoon is, but keep the tone respectful to those participating in the fun with you.
Other than that, it’s pretty much a free-for-all within the Nominating Committee. If you want to be part of the fun, let us know in the comments!
