*Groan* Can The Grammys Just Admit They Now Do Book Awards?

And given that just about every politician "writes" at least one book, maybe they can crank the candor all the way to 11 and just admit they have a de facto "Politician Of the Year" award.

This year, it's Barack Obama being celebrated as a spoken word artist.

Barack Obama topped a Clinton in another contest on Sunday -- the Grammys.

The presidential candidate beat both former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter to win best spoken word album for his audio version of his book "The Audacity Of Hope: Thoughts On Reclaiming The American Dream."

Clinton was nominated for his book "Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World" and Carter for "Sunday Mornings in Plains: Bringing Peace to a Changing World."

Last year, it went to Jimmuh Carter, and the year before, to Bill Clinton, and the year before that, to Barack Obama again.

Rock stars, the lot of them.

(HT: Ace)

Relatedly, continuing her overarching campaign strategy of "Anything Barack can do, I can do more awkwardly," Hillary Clinton (who has previously put out some reasonably amusing ads - "The Sopranos" parody, Bubba eating cheeseburgers on the treadmill, etc.) squirted out this cloying, youth-cajoling embarrassment.

(HT: Bryan, who aptly judges it "the worst political ad ever.")
