The D-List for the Month of July

Kasey, Contestant on The Bachelorette - Kasey was one of 25 dudes vying for the heart of this season’s Bachelorette, he earned a “one on one” date with her in New York City and that’s when things got really D-Kasey…from an impromptu love song, twice, to horrible love analogies, to getting a tattoo representing his journey to find the Bachelorette; this dude has got D-Case written all over him (kind of literally).

JaMarcus Russell - just as he was starting to receive interest from another NFL team (the Jets) following his dismissal from the Raiders, JaMarcus Russell has to go and be…well, JaMarcus Russell. Russell was arrested in his Alabama home following the completion of an undercover investigation into the former quarterback’s involvement in illegally obtaining codeine. Codeine is a prescription drug that has become more prevalent in recent years as a drug used to get “high.” Russell has been using the codeine to concoct a special “Purple Drank”, aka “Lean”, aka “Sizzurp” (see rap group Three 6 Mafia’s song Sippin’ On Some Syrup, where syrup is pronounced “sizzurp” in the song).

The Stimulus Package - for its promise of 3.5 million jobs created or saved in 2010. At a cost of $862 billion dollars, that's roughly $246,000 per job. Now I may not make as much as everyone else, but that's enough to create or save my job for about 5 years.

Rod Blagojevich - for doing anything and everything to avoid discussing complex issues with his staff; including ducking into a back room, leaving work early, or even hiding in the bathroom.

BP - With the debacle of one of the worst oil spills ever, you would think that BP would want to avoid anymore bad publicity. Apparently the BP press team does not see it quite this way. BP has now confessed to Photoshopping some of its oil spill press photos. Seriously guys, Photoshopping images? And doing such a poor job at it that it is obvious that the images are altered? Who thought that this was a good idea?

Russian Parasailing Company - for forcing a donkey to parasail off the coast of a South Russian beach amidst a crowd of people which included children who were brought to tears over the cruelty of the incident…all in the name of a poorly planned advertisement stunt. The donkey was kept in the air for 30 minutes and then fell into the water where it struggled to stay afloat for 10 minutes.

John Kerry - For trying to use a tax loophole to avoid almost $500000 in taxes for his new $7 million yacht. After voting numerous times to increase taxes while in Congress, apparently Kerry thought that it would be in his best interest to avoid paying them himself.

Dwayne Davis, Jr. - this week in St. Petersburg, Florida 23 year old Dwayne Davis Jr. accidentally turned himself in. Davis noticed himself pictured on the local news and called the cops to ask why. The Choice Food Store surveillance video captured Davis on June 12 pulling a man out of his car and then pistol whipping him. Bay News 9 just ran a story on unsolved cases showing surveillance pictures, which prompted Davis’s phone call to the cops. Despite identifying himself in the video, and being identified by the victim and the cops, Davis denies any involvement in the carjacking.
