Bimbo Newsletter

The Bimbo Award recognizes dumb public comments made during the year. The criterion for nomination is that the speaker causes the listener to believe exactly the opposite of what is said. The award is a reminder that repeating negative words only reinforces the negative message as well as misses the opportunity to convey the right message to the reader or listener.

The Bimbo Award was created by Merrie Spaeth, former Director of Media for President Reagan at the White House, memorializing the protest of a young lady whose tryst with a well known evangelist some years ago made news around the world. Her comment, "I Am Not A Bimbo," became the headline in scores of newspapers and a cover of People Magazine in 1987.

We hope you enjoy, and at the same time learn a lesson from our Bimbo awards. We send the awards out on a monthly fax or email, as well as post them on our Web site. Please contact Spaeth Communications if you would like to receive a copy.

Keep your eyes and ears open for Bimbo nominations. We are always looking for them. Contributors whose Bimbo nominations are used in our monthly memo will receive a ribbon. The ribbon is suitable for display and identifies you as someone who is savvy and has a good sense of humor. It's easy to submit nominations through our online nomination form or you can mail them in to:
