Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns today jointly announced the
creation of the Armstrong/Edwards award for creative communication. "Since
Lance Armstrong and John Edwards have set the standard for obfuscation in the
new America, we believe an award that honors them is important," said Willie
Sutton, a company spokesman.
Sutton also announced that Congressmen and investment
bankers would not be eligible to receive the prize because they are considered
"professionals."
Bernie Madoff, responded from prison, saying, "it's
about time that people recognized the new American reality, instead of getting
all upset and judgmental."
The companies also said neither presidential candidate was
eligible to compete for what will surely be a prestigious award.
