Yeah, yeah, yeah Sandra Bullock won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in The Blind Side. Congrats to her and all but an Oscar wasn’t the only thing Bullock won over the the weekend. The night before the Oscars she was honored with a Razzie (two actually), given to the Worst Actress of the year for her performance in All About Steve. I did not actually see All About Steve, which co-starred Bradley Cooper (they both won for Worst Couple), but when I saw the trailer, before The Blind Side coincidentally, I thought it was some sort of clever inside joke or parody, that’s how bad it looked. Apparently I wasn’t the only one who felt that way. Its a testament to how cool Bullock is that she showed up to the Razzie’s ceremony to collect her awards and also, as you can see above, gave everyone in the audience a DVD of All About Steve.

The complete list of Razzie winners can be found here.

What sentient being who’s following this closely could not understand it by now? I give you Politico’s Mike Allen, writing Saturday:

When Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) made this confusing argument last week on “Face the Nation,” we weren’t sure he was being deliberately disingenuous. It was, in fact, spin. Now, he’s made the same case in a similarly obtuse WashPost op-ed, “Reconciliation is not an option for health-care reform.” Don’t misread it: It’s an Alice-in-Wonderland argument FOR the use of reconciliation as part of the recipe for getting comprehensive health reform to the president’s desk

Confusing? Obtuse? Does Conrad need to stop by Politico’s offices with a picture book and some finger puppets? I understand perfectly well how intelligent people who don’t follow this debate closely might not catch on to the distinction. But this is what Mike Allen does all day — and, as I understand it, much of the night and the wee hours of the morning as well. How can anybody still not understand this? I’m at a loss here. Look, there’s an endless list of topics I don’t understand at all. I went through an entire semester of pre-Calculus in high school and was never able to understand what a function is. I still don’t. It’s a complicated subject and I was a lazy student. But this reconciliation distinction is easy, and Mike Allen is (legendarily) not lazy. So, what the hell is going on here?

I see four possibilities for what the hell is going on here:

1) Mike Allen is lazy when it comes to substance/policy. Not lazy when it comes to writing about high school level gossip.

2) Mike Allen can be easily spun and he’s swallowed Republican talking points whole (not the first time that’s happened).

3) Mike Allen is a moron.

4) All of the above.

Take your pick.

From too many years of covering politics, I have come to believe as Axiom One that the absolute worst advice politicians ever receive comes from journalists who fancy themselves great campaign strategists.

Milbank now is urging Obama to emulate Gordon Brown, who is probably just weeks away from being voted out as Britain’s prime minister, and start bullying people himself. That is — well, it’s in the great tradition.
