The quotation in my headline is from a self-aggrandizing Wheeling Intelligencer editorial this past August. And for readers outside the Wheeling area, I’m not making this up -- one of the editorials in today’s Wheeling Intelligencer is about comedian Kathy Griffin. (I guess there was nothing new on any of the Clinton email/Benghazi/uranium stories.) The shorter version is that they’re happy that Griffin is complaining that she can’t find work.

(Note – It’s a competitive category but I’ve placed this editorial in the 2017 Dumbest Editorial of the Year Award.)
