Good Hunting... from Varmint Al

I’d vote for Sarkozy, with an honorable mention for Angela Merkel in Germany and Stephen Harper in Canada. Our old allies are coming back to the fold. And while they opted out of Iraq, our NATO allies are getting it done in Afghanistan.
General Petraeus!
On a state wide basis Dan Patrick the radio station owner and talk show host from Houston who got elected to State Senator with like 73% MOV would deserve an honorable mention.
DITTO !!!!
General David Petraeus is my first choice. But Sarkozy is my second. I’ll have picked that French leader over Putin.
Well —I was thinking this dealt with FR type folks. Other than those worthy candidates named above, I would certainly nominate, not one person, but one group. The DC Freepers who are at Walter Reed every Friday (in fact, they should be just now getting back from their Freep).
Yup, for guts, grit, determination and sheer love for the troops —The DC Freepers!!!
Thanks for the ping, Chris.
Already posted (#14) but when it comes to FReeper Of The Year...sheesh...so many come to mind...icwhatudo, jveritas, doug from upland, allegra, nw_arizona_granny, cindy, etc., etc., etc.
It sure would be hard to choose 1.
I have no quibble with any of the nominees but I see no reason to extend the conversation beyond Rush Limbaugh. He’s had an extraordinary year - from slapping down Harry Reid to being a daily warrior against Global Warming. Without him, many of us wouldn’t know what we know.
Give it to Rush.
Definitely, Petraeus’ surge strategy, and Sarkozy’s victory in France are the two best geopolitical things that happened in an otherwise pretty bad year.
Excellent choices. In the end, I’m going with General Petraeus.
Second.
FReeper of the year? A group award to The Walter Reed Friday Night crew. Fantastic work, every single week.
I've already nominated Syncro for a Buckhead - see **CNN's six "undecided voters" were all Democratic operatives** I believe icwhatudo is also deserving but I can't put my finger on why.
And Doug From Upland and Kristinn should get Golden FR Microphones for their great work on the airwaves and through public appearances.
RIP, Tonk. You're remembered too.

Pshaw!! Fair weather friends at best, IMO. ;-)
General David Petraeus, hands down.
I second that.
My inclusion of Inhofe is because of his sometimes thankless work to battle the notion of human-induced Global Warming. He doesn't have the microphone or reach Rush Limbaugh has...he is doing it in the dark, liberal sycophant-filled halls of the Capitol. If you look at some of the work he has done on the job, you'd be mightily impressed too. Check it out:
