Maybe we need a DeRusha tag, in the way Fark has a Wil Wheaton tag.

Jeannette Trompeter wuz robbed!

Congratulations!

FINALLY some awards for people in the media. AT LAST!

Is it me, or is raindog getting funnier?

The internet is so over Sven and has moved on to Jason. With good reason; Jason’s not just a pretty face.

But the common folk are slow. Sven will win.

I’ve always thought Raindogg has had a humorous side, but now maybe with less acid rain.

Sven? Really? He can’t win. He’s too, er, less tall, um, not as married as Jason – hows that?

Is that an AVN Award I smell?

The real award ends up in your bank account, Jason.

But. good job, nonetheless

Jason who?

He’s more of a Diamond in The Rough Award nominee, but I’m pulling for him

Go, Jason!

DeRusha-on-Sven might be more likely to get a AVN Award.

This is going to sound horrible, but I thought Sven was Asian until someone laughed in my face and corrected me. Seriously, he’s small, he’s tan, his eyes– Asian and Norwegian are not mutually exclusive! It seems he is just an elf?

But the common folk are slow. Sven will win.

Like a Golden Globe vs. a Peoples’ Choice Award?

You have my vote and since I have always had an appreciation for a real -good quality diamond—-

You are a winner to me!

Raindog: Funny because it’s true.

I mainly blogged about it as an excuse to post the Sventastic t-shirt again. I love that shirt.

Sven Sundgaard’s Penis was robbed!!

Seriously Jason, where’s the loot?

Msparber: “Is it me, or is raindog getting funnier?”

Raindog has always been drenched in win. Still, I can’t help but miss her material about Republicans fellating bears.

Is this contest decided by arm wrestling?

if diablo cody can win an oscar, derusha is worthy of at least a cynthia plaster-caster vesion of sven’s penis.

raindog is a bitter hippie.

Congrats and good luck, Jace.

Is there a non-TV personality of the year award?

Hmmm….I am wondering what it took to get nominated. I mean, Mike Pomeranz? Is it about having good teeth?

I hope not. If it’s about teeth, I’m doomed. I’m hoping the reward is based on giving publicity to the awards.

If it’s going to elflike changelings, man, you have already lost.

Meta.

I’d vote for you, Jason. You are the best thing in the humor department to happen to WCCO tv since Kevyn Burger left and you have beautiful kids. Watch out world when Seth DeRusha becomes of age!!!!! My kids and I enjoy “Good Question” and your blogs.

I am not sure what the criteria was for nominations, but Jason is about 20 times the talent that any of the other nominees are. Am I the only one who thinks Sven is a parody of himself some nights? Rarely have i seen someone arrive on the local airwaves from a small market town (Duluth) with as much self created bombast as young Sven. DeRusha on the other hand is a legit thinker, a great writer and a compelling reason to watch CCO all on his own. Does anyone watch KARE to see Sven do weather?

Oh my stars, it’s Andrew Zimmern!

Sandburg’s thinking that Sven is Asian will always be what I think about every time his name is mentioned.

But, btw, Sandburg: Asian’s tan better – we don’t turn orange and even by Asian standards, that dude Sven is short.

I do occasionally watch KARE on the weekends. I can’t help it… I like him. He’s like a little weather nymph spreading his meteorological happiness like pixie dust.

I almost ran his dad over last weekend.

Sven’s kind-of-a-big-deal because in this town because he’s 5′3″ of chiseled Scandanavian gayness. The medium is the message.

Congrats Jason. If you make the T-Shirt do I get some sort of royalty? I spent minutes putting that together.

There’s something about Sven that makes me think there’s a little Ed Grimley in him.

Indy, that just made me choke on my water.

You can always do the Jason —> Sven tag-team.

While no where near as sultry as an actual Jason —> Sven tag-team would surely be, you can watch Jason’s spots earlier in the news and then catch Sven’s super cute weather.

It really feeds one’s soul.

I still think Sven reminds me of Xandir P. Whiffelbottom.

i like it when it rains and Sven has one of those outrageously, big colorful umbrellas. you wanna go pinch his cheeks. Or his iron clad butt. And, despite being an iron clad heterosexual, I also picked up last month’s Lavender mag when Sven was on the cover.

I’m so confused.

(And since CCO let go Mr. Douglas, I’m back to being a KARE guy.)

(greetings from a stormy Duluth, btw…)

Andrew: Considering KARE barely has RSS feeds and doesn’t have functional blogs with comments or feeds or anything… I’d think you’d still be a CCO guy. I’m hurt. :-) Have you been drinking with Sven? I didn’t think so.

I heart Jason DeRusha ;-)

I miss his cool steady hand.

I miss real journalism in the TV news.

I miss when bud wasn’t typing.


I miss real journalism in the TV news.

I know! Bill O’Reilly really lost his journalistic integrity when he left Inside Edition.

I meant when “reporters” told viewers “who what where why and when”.

bud’s the first generation of his family to walk upright. we should be celebrating the miracle that is his typing ability.

I think he means “When” “reporters” “told” “viewers.”
