ONO AWARD WINNER:
Congressman Don Young
Republican Congressman Don Young (R-Alaska) has been given Bernstein Crisis Management’s Ono Award for demonstrating the behavior illustrated by Ono the Ostrich, mascot of Bernstein Crisis Management’s newsletter, Crisis Manager.
As reported on the Huffington Post blog and many other media sources, Congressman Young made this remarkable statement about BP’s Gulf oil spill:
“This is not an environmental disaster, and I will say that again and again because it is a natural phenomenon.”
Say what? Wags must wonder if the congressman’s head is somewhere other than in the sand.
