Oslo, Norway, Headquarters of the Ignoble Committee, December 16, 2019 For Immediate Release
Heck of a resume
Elizabeth “Betsy” Dee DeVos, yet another willfully stupid example of the type of luminaries populating the landscape of conservative America is the subject of today’s announcement. She’s always been several ideas short of rational thought. It has been noted that if she was in charge of the plan for evacuating the ship, we’d all drown. Putting her at the helm of the Department of Education was like putting a coyote in charge of the chicken coop. Born into a family of hard-core faux Christians, grown rich from manufacturing die cast machinery and auto parts, she married into a soap-selling pyramid scheme. She’s turned that background into a for-profit education boondoggle.
The clear consensus is that her nomination, all by itself, was another tRumpian impeachable offense — she is clearly a domestic enemy of the United States. Her confirmation was a series of chargeable crimes against the senators who voted for her — malfeasance in office, conspiracy to commit fraud on the United States and public urination (on their oaths of office). In addition to her woeful lack of any experience involving education (including her own), DeVos’ penchant for casual cruelty makes Cruella DeVille appear all warm and cuddly. Instead of dalmatians, DeVos is killing the futures of America’s youth.
They just don’t get it
For her monumental stupidity, for her conspicuous cruelty, for her empty soulless existance and for her inherent DeVosiousness, the Ignoble Committee has Awarded Elizabeth Dee DeVos the 2019 Ignoble Prize for Lack of Education.
The Ignoble Committee is a world renowned* group of scholars and world leaders who have accepted the challenge of wading through the wheat to find the chaff most deserving of recognition for their disservice to humanity.
Winners of Ignoble Prizes are offered a lifetime vacation at the miserable prison of their choice (accent on miserable), copious amounts of derision during the remainders of their pathetic lifetimes and, of course, eternal damnation by whatever deity they follow.
Unlike Nobels, Ignobles are announced whenever the the overworked folks at NNNE Award Services™ get around to counting the votes and writing up the announcements.
*That’s assuming tljdk follows through and offers us some renown.
