"The Five Worst Politicians Of All Time" by Michael Musto, Village Voice


The Five Worst Politicians Of All Time



By Michael Musto, Wed., Jan. 26 2011 @ 10:00AM

5--Adolph Hitler. Not nice. Really icky. Blech.

4--Sarah Palin. A scary, convoluted, self-proclaimed victim who'll walk on your carcass as she rides the ratings ladder.

***

2--Richard Nixon. A slime, a sleaze, and not terribly attractive. One chromosome away from total psycho!

1--George W. Bush. A complete liar and opportunist who sold us out for personal gain, then kept on lying with blood on his hands. I've had it with the softening of people's feelings towards him now that he's an abandoned relic. Please! You win, Georgie! Eat caca!

6. Rudy Giuliani
So basically his list consists of Hitler and 4 US Republicans from the last 50 years. Obviously a keen student of global political history :eyes:

2. Does a half-term governor quitter and losing VP candidate really count as "politician"?
She's more like a well-dressed mannequin for the low-info crowd.

4. Yep... That's the depth of Musto for ya.
He's really much better at reporting on which hottie wore what style of muscle shirt at which exclusive party. When he weighs is on real news, he shows how shallow he is.

And I've met the fellow. He's a nasty old queen to boot.

He really has nothing to add...

5. Wow...
...what a silly list.

Sarah Palin?? She is a non-entity that will never hold public office again.
Nixon - History has shown him to have been a much better politician and person that he looked at the time
Bush - Absolutely NO problem with this placement.

OK...but to have the last three lumped in with Hitler simply makes this list null and void. Until the previous 3 start a world war that causes the deaths of more than 30 million people (combat, concentration camps, A-Bomb etc) - Hitler is still in his own tiny universe.


Thank you Internet - where any idiot (including this poster) can posit any stupid and exaggerated claims out for anyone to see
