The 2009 National Douchebag Tournament

March 18th, 2009 | 10:18 am
 
Welcome to HolyTaco's 2009 Douchebag Tournament! It's the only tournament in the world that pits 64 douchebags in a winner-take-all tourney, voted on by you, to determine who is crowned the Biggest Douchebag of 2009.
 
 
We took 16 douchebags from the fields of Entertainment, Sports, Business, and Politics, ranked them accordingly and matched them up in a manner similar to a crazy tournament between February and April that we can't name due to legal issues. So, the #1 ranked douchebag in each division plays the #16 ranked douchebag, the #2 ranked douchebag plays the #15 ranked douchebag and so on.
 

Each day we'll show the results and update the brackets to let you know who's advancing towards becoming the 2009 Douchebag Of The Year. Here's an up-to-date breakdown of all four brackets:

    Republic = elected representatives to carry out the will of the people. Pretty much what he said.

    A democracy, a TRUE democracy has never existed. The only thing that came close were the ancient Greeks (who coined the term BTW) and even then, not everyone could vote.
    A true democracy is where the people make all the decisions. A republic is people voting on representatives to make decisions for them, because the average person doesn't know enough to make those kinds of decisions. Since when were they elected to do the will of the people? And since when was Bush a dictator? Lol, you can tell who is just an angry bitter person, because very few people here actually know what it means to be in a dictatorship, and even fewer have ever experienced it. The fact that you can criticize the leaders and live should speak for itself

    boy am I glad that no one is touting their opinions instead of focusing on who's a douche! Not to say that Obama and the Dems are saints, but you're blaming them for literally everything that is wrong in our country. Kinda ignorant and biased, don't you think? Neither the democrats or republicans, liberals or conservatives, are devils or saints. How you managed to ignore Haliburton, the total dive in science funding, the poor quality of equipment and services our troops are given, etc. is just laughable. Not to mention blaming our current economic situation on the two years Dems have controlled is just sad, this is something that has taken decades.
    Sorry, I just hate it when people irrelevantly tout their views to everyone who doesn't want to hear it.

    Annnyways, any other year I'd give it to Limbaugh, but this year Madoff took the cake. What an absolute douche.

    Come on. come on. Anybody with a grade school education knows the answer to this one. It's Madoff. He stole from people not only their money, he also stole their well being, their retirement plans, their peace of mind, and if truth be known, he probably caused, or will cause, some of them to die earlier than they expected to. Worrying can lead one to their grave. The others? Their scumbags, screwups, and anything else, you might call them. But they don't even come close to his miserable misdeeds.I just don't understand how somebody could do this, for so long, without getting caught.

    All of these idiot kids tryna compare Obama to the people in this tournament are laughable on a good day and sad on an average day. With that being said, I'm not even gonna entertain their idiotic arguments, but I do want to know what the Octomom did to make it so far in the tournament. All I know about her is that she had 8 kids at once and she's been on tv for the past month or so...How does that make her a douchebag? Please fill me in because I turn from stories that I don't consider to be news.

    What the fuck does "tryna" mean??? Are you trying to say "trying to"?? Speak English, you douche.

  10. TarHEELS!!! Says:

    octo mom. popped 6 kids at one time. then went back to get inseminated for six more but got eight (embryos divided) so she now has 14 kids that from the looks of it she cant support (doesnt work, house is small for that many people, and what single mom without any loose screws has six kids and then goes back for more?)so in all likelyhood the gov't will support her and kids. since the story broke shes been talking about reality show deals etc. she complains that the media wont leave her alone at the same time that she does those things. she even has a website set up where people can donate money to her.

  11. Eponymous Says:

    Idiot: They wrote up the reasons for each entrant and showed the write-up EVERY SINGLE ROUND. You display not only lazy stupidity, but a clearly unearned sense of entitlement. Please, please, de-ass your head.

  12. Anonymous Says:

    she had a few kids before that but the 8 kids she had on purpose as far as i can tell and im probly ignorent to all the facts but she did it as a media stunt cuz the first couple kids she had she paid for off of the state and the father of the 8 told her before hand (meaning before they commited the act)she was on her own plus she uses some of the money for surgery so she can look more like angelina jolie

    Stop the disparaging comments and live a quality life rockin' with this station or what ever music you like.What does it matter in regards to who supports who?Live life without concern about who is or who isn't for who.This contest is rather uneccessary,people.It is a free country in that people can elect whoever they want and if you don't like it get over it.

    Someone should DBag all these people on dbagthis.com

    You neo-con "Obama should be on that list" fucktards as well as those that reply talking about how bad Bush was are retarded. Politicians in general are douches, but it is unfair to put any president on the list. All presidents/front running presidential candidates should have equal standing on here because all of them are lobbyist and corporate puppets anyways (except Ron Paul). The people who should be up there on the politics side include the people who speak on politics, not the politicians themselves, many of which are up there. I'd add Glenn Beck, Hannity, and most relevant of all in my eyes, Pat Robertson. That guy has "douche" written all over him. He's pretty much a new age version McCarthy but probably more radical.

  21. Erik Says:

    Oops! I'm retarded now too for not seeing Glen Beck on the list :D
