The Mr. Wu Award


In the great HBO series "Deadwood", the Chinese in the mining camp were lead by a Mr. Wu.  Mr. Wu did was a, shall we say confidante, of entrepreneur (pimp, murderer, drug kingpin, etc.) Al Swearingen.  But Mr. Wu did not speak much English.  In fact, the only word that Mr. Wu really spoke was "cocksucker", which came out more as "cocksuckah".

It is therefore, with great pride that I inaugurate the Gunpowder Chronicle's brand new "Mr. Wu Award", recognizing from time to time, that individual (or organization)  that displays the distinct traits of an ignominious cocksucker.

What is an ignominious cocksucker?  A person without shame.  Someone who lies, cheats, steals, and performs daily disservices to the public.  A lawyer.  A politician.  A Joe Albero.
