2. I quit reading after the first one listed

#50 Sofia Coppola.
I taught her dancing. She was a great kid and young lady. Gangly and shy but sweet as can be. Her Mom is great too.
( Her family stayed in Tulsa a long time making two separate movies. We kept in touch through the years. )

So this list is crap in my eyes.

3. Why would she be on the list?

I can't think of any negative association I have with her name...

7. The list is crap

It should have had a few of their own writers (especially Russ Smith, who probably wrote most of it) on it.

14. It's total BS

Sofia's movie was brilliant, these people don't know what they are talking about. It's really cool that you know her!

8. That is worth something, I suppose.

Because it is true. Rudy is #1 Faker, no doubt. Also strange that Schumer is on but Hillary is off. Maybe they think she's so loathesome she's off the radar? :shrug:

9. I thought it was pretty good...

They where on target with Garofalo...

And ended great:

"Congratulations, Rudy. Though we prayed you'd fade away, your insistent grandstanding, lingering influence and threats of future public office leave us no choice. For actions past and present, you are hereby crowned 2004's Most Loathsome New Yorker. If we didn't have a rule against it, you'd probably be here for life."

12. The writer is everything he claims to be against

Eric Atlerman? Chuck Schumer? people who listen to i-pods? Jeffery Sachs? Janeanne Garafalo?

He has to prove his hipness by slamming Democrats, just to be fair and balanced.

If you find it amusing to call a woman (well Judith Miller) a bitch, then this is for you.
