50 Most Loathsome People in America - 2005

[im10ashus]

50. Geraldo Rivera

Charges: A mustache only slightly less loathsome than Tom Friedman’s-if only because fewer people take Rivera seriously. Began his career as a seemingly skilled and passionate muckraker, but having been exposed countless times as a shameless, megalomaniacal fraud, he absolutely refuses to get out of our living rooms. Most recently, Geraldo was accused of making a frail, elderly victim of Hurricane Katrina whom he “rescued” do multiple takes of the rescue scene with Rivera for Fox News cameras. Geraldo heroically carried the woman’s dog.

Exhibit A: Claims he defected from CNBC to Fox News for patriotic reasons.

Sentence: Sealed inside Al Capone’s vault with a phalanx of Neo-nazis armed with folding chairs.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

49. Michelle Malkin

Charges: A curious case of racial Stockholm syndrome with a palpable lust for violent ideological oppression and displays of imperial power. Rose to prominence in conservative circles by congratulating white America for its most shameful chapter since slavery, and encouraging a return to form in her book, In Defense of Internment: The Case for “Racial Profiling” in World War II and the War on Terror. Malkin thinks it’s hunky-dory to detain an entire demographic indefinitely if it makes the rest of us feel more comfortable. Her newest, Frenzy, argues that liberals have lost their minds, because they are upset with the direction their country is taking. Her evidence is a carefully collected selection of the dumbest things liberals have ever said, as if she couldn’t have just as easily filled an entire library with the insane ravings of right-wingers. Her accusations of blind hatred and vitriol mimic soul sister Ann Coulter’s classic tactic of psychological projection: whatever Malkin is, she sees in her opponents.

Exhibit A: Internment was so irresponsible that it prompted 40 history professors to sign a letter condemning it.

Sentence: Detained indefinitely without charge and waterboarded hourly for looking at a cop “all slanty-like.”


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

48. Larry the Cable Guy

Charges: The absolute nadir of the American South’s baffling cultural hegemony. A middle-class Nebraskan, raised in Palm Beach, whose parents sent him to private school, masquerading as an Appalachian mutant and making millions off the nine-toed Cyclopes in his audience by calling his material “blue collar,” when it’s really just a celebration of proud ignorance. The latest in a long line of “entertainers” propagating the lie that real talent is elitist. The South has risen again—just long enough to grab the rest of the nation by the legs and pull it back down to its Lovecraftian depths. Isn’t even “bad funny.” Makes Jeff Foxworthy look like Chris Rock.

Exhibit A: Ostensibly ‘humorous’ catchphrase translates into “complete the task.”

Sentence: Sent back in time for the sole purpose of having Mark Twain’s cigars extinguished on his face.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

47. Martha Stewart

Charges: Only in America could a plutocrat convicted of insider trading find sympathy among her social inferiors—people she would have either sterilized or mustard gassed, if the law permitted her. Stewart, a woman so frigid she makes Gila monsters look cuddly, rode this wave of infamy to a resurgence in popularity and a second television show. To the nation’s delight, she then used this public forum to demean the aborigines in her charge with robotic mordancy. Is in obvious discomfort when laughing. Would have drowned the survivors on the Titanic and used their corpses as a human pontoon to walk to dry land.

Exhibit A: Seemed to genuinely enjoy prison.

Sentence: Forced to use own K-Mart products.

cont'd...

[tridim]

1. That list is pretty funny

Even if there are some 'winners' who obviously shouldn't be there..

I love the illustrations:

[TallahasseeGrannie]

3. Damn I'm out of it

I don't even know who Larry the Cable guy IS and he made the list.

[im10ashus]

4. Read this Grannie:

[Cats Against Frist]

44. Don't feel bad

I only just figured out that there was this "Larry the Cable Guy" entity, too, during the article. I DID, however, wonder why the hell people were saying "git 'er done," and my Uncle had a talking doll, hanging on his belt, that would say that phrase when pinched or squeezed. I had no idea it was a real entity.

[mikelewis]

45. You're number 4

4. You

Charges: Silently enabling and contributing to the irreversible destruction of your planet. Absolving yourself of your responsibility to do anything about it that your immediate neighbors don’t. Assuming that it’s normal behavior to spend several hours each day totally inert and staring into a cathode ray tube. Substituting antidepressants for physical motion. Caring more about the personal relationships of people you will never meet than your own. Shrugging your shoulders at the knowledge that your government is populated by criminal liars intent on fooling you into impoverished, helpless submission. Cheering this process on.

Exhibit A: You don’t even know who your congressman is.

Sentence: Deathbed realization that your entire life was an unending series of stupid mistakes and wasted opportunities, a priceless gift of potential extravagantly squandered, for which you deserve nothing but scorn or, at best, indifference, and a cold, meaningless demise.

http://www.buffalobeast.com/91/50.htm

Is a computer monitor a "cathode ray tube"? Cause if it is I'm guilty of about half of these things.

[Greyhound]

64. If it's big, it's a CRT. If it's flat, it's a LCD. n/t

[mikelewis]

67. Shit!

[ET Awful]

8. The Tom Cruise illustration had me laughing out loud

The O'Reilly one too.

Falafel! :rofl:

. . . .

edit: You know, I never realized it until now, but if you pronounce ROFL phonetically, it rhymes with falafel . . . ROFL Falafel . . . see? :P

[Rowdyboy]

2. Damn little to disagree with.....

Including putting me on the list.

[FuzzySlippers]

5. I love Cheny's sentence.

Sentence: Strapped to chair; eyes removed with melon baller. Nursed back to health. Lips sewn to a rubber hose connecting him to a 500 gallon nutrition shake. Nursed back to health. Fingers, hands, toes, feet, nose and genitals devoured by hungry pigs. Nursed back to health. Legs and arms ground to stubs with belt sander. Nursed back to health. Fitted with earphones that play only Christina Aguilera songs, and left alone to think about what he has done.


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[nini]

6. I LOVE the sentence for Rita Cosby LOLOLOL

31. Rita Cosby

Charges: Unholy pastiche of fearmongering and celebrity ringworm with the brain of a moth, the integrity of a tapeworm, and the appearance and larynx of a sugar-addicted, glass-eating drag queen.

Exhibit A: Her banter with Joe Scarborough kills children.

Sentence: Kicked in the nuts.

[ronnykmarshall]

37. I FINALLY heard her.

I wanted to send her some nice hot tea and honey.

Damn!

[nini]

47. It's amazing isn't it?

I remember Randi Rhodes imitating her during the hurricane coverage - Cracked me up.


I have NO idea how that woman got her own show. NONE

[serryjw]

7. Agree with most

a few could have been eliminated and replaced with worse

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. I can't agree that Oprah and Hillary Clinton

are MORE loathsome than Sean Insannity and John Gibshit! Neither Insannity or Gibshit are on the list. Give me a freakin' break.

[jeanarrett]

11. I agree. That fucknut Fred Phelps beats out Oprah by a long shot. n/t

[spooky3]

29. Agree. And Martha Stewart has contributed to Dems--how many

CEOs have done that?

[nini]

16. I think he nailed Oprah's narcissism

though she's certainly not as evil as those you mention

[Penndems]

10. They've dead-on nailed it:

3. George W. Bush

Charges: Simply put, the stupidest man ever to lead this country. Bush’s lobotomized Will Rogers routine is a satirist’s dream, a European intellectual’s caricature of the dipshit cowboy American, all balls and no brains. Often responds to questions by attempting to define the word he finds the most challenging in them. Thinks press reports of his various crimes are responsible for his waning popularity, rather than the deeds themselves. Interprets the constitution like a Unitarian interprets the bible; for maximum convenience and with no regard to the actual text. Foreign policy vision is less serious and more simplistic than an issue of Captain America.

Exhibit A: “I want to thank the President and the CEO of Constellation Energy, Mayo Shattuck. That’s a pretty cool first name, isn’t it? Mayo. Pass the Mayo.”

Sentence: Trapped for eternity under shoddily manufactured Diebold voting machine, unable to reach nearby refrigerator full of hot dogs and bourbon.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Dick Cheney

Charges: At the forefront of nearly every administration effort to anihillate the constitution. A true psychopath with only one motivating force; insatiable greed. Insists that we can only remain "free" through torture, spying and secrecy. Bears the crooked ugliness of a man whose entire life has been devoted to a senseless pursuit of power, and whose most effective weapon is a total lack of ethics, or even decorum. So cartoonishly evil he defies parody.

Exhibit A: “I think they’re in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency.”

Sentence: Strapped to chair; eyes removed with melon baller. Nursed back to health. Lips sewn to a rubber hose connecting him to a 500 gallon nutrition shake. Nursed back to health. Fingers, hands, toes, feet, nose and genitals devoured by hungry pigs. Nursed back to health. Legs and arms ground to stubs with belt sander. Nursed back to health. Fitted with earphones that play only Christina Aguilera songs, and left alone to think about what he has done.

[underpants]

12. Sentence: Raped by bear

"Scooter" Libby

Absolutely brilliant

[AzDar]

66. That one made me laugh out loud. n/t

[Doctor_J]

13. Did Friedman really say this?

“the mad dogs have kneed us in the groin while our backs were turned again.”

Does he write for Smirk? How can a dog knee me in the groin? While my back is turned? :wtf:

[stevedeshazer]

25. He did write that phrase

They've got Freidman nailed:

<snip>

The worst of all creatures in the political opinion jungle: a cretin who thinks he’s a genius. Friedman’s intolerable knack for converting irreducibly complex geopolitical/socioeconomic situations into simplistic, tin-eared insta-clichés makes him one of the most dangerous people on the planet, arming people even stupider than him with the illusion of knowledge in the form of a crude vocabulary of badly mixed metaphors and ill-conceived flashcard images, thereby having a negative net effect on the nation’s intellect. India and China are “like a bottle of champagne” which someone has been “shaking for 40 years;” the modern economy dictates that “you need to be at a certain level to be able to claim your share of a global pie that is both expanding and becoming more complex;” and “the mad dogs have kneed us in the groin while our backs were turned again.” Friedman’s disorienting literary ineptitude is nearly enough to distract us from the indisputable fact that he has no fucking idea what he’s talking about. For this dolt-friendly parlor trick and a slavish devotion to globalization and technology as abstract, almost mystical tenets, Friedman has achieved iconic status. Exhibits the easy smile and benevolent smugness of an unjustly celebrated man who has never thought very deeply or rigorously about anything at all.

===================================================================================
That's a near-perfect description of Thomas Friedman.

[DarkTirade]

32. It's a very flexible dog

Well trained in the mystic art of kung fu.

[Drewskie]

14. Since he had the BTK guy...

I'd have included Joseph Duncan III as well.

[RebelOne]

15. I wonder if the fundie conservatives know that

Michelle Malkin is an atheist.

[Swamp Rat]

17. LOL!

:D

[wicket]

18. LOL!

:kick:

[meganmonkey]

19. Kick to read later

This oughtta make my workout tonight go pretty fast :)

[stoneisland]

20. The racism

The ugly racism used to respond to Michelle Malkin always makes me uncomfortable. This list was no exception.

[Kurovski]

53. Could you please explain what you are talking about?

It would be most appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

[Synnical]

21. That was cool.

Thanks for posting this. Loved the comments on Karl Rove.

[greiner3]

22. How did Geraldo go so wrong?

He married well, the daughter of Kurt Vonnegut no less. I remember his (I guess it is) first disgrace. That being the opening of an empty underground room in Chicago that had sealed 50 years ago. It was empty but I heard that Geraldo took that lead and rambled on for 2 hours.

[tomreedtoon]

79. No, Rivera's first disgrace was earlier.

I mark Rivera's downfall from his time on ABC's "20/20," when he did a story about greyhounds in training for racing, ripping live rabbits to pieces - with video.

That was the start, but the confirmation of his Media Whore status was when he did another intrusive piece, about the homeless derelicts living in the steam tunnels and sewers of New York City. No talk about what could be done for them, no real compassion, just a carnival-freak video piece on these sub-humans (his implied description) living just a few feet under the sidewalks where Geraldo's Versace loafers trod.

That wasn't enough to mark him as a lout. After his piece apparently got a lot of negative reaction and anger mailed in to ABC, he ran it atain - with different narration. He called it "The Feral People" and gave it a "positive" spin. He now claimed that these people CHOSE to live this way, that they were somehow making life the best way they could and were people to be admired. In other words, he turned a 180 in order to save his sorry ass.

There was no real public discussion as to why he left ABC, but I like to think that the network - by no means an exemplar of perfect journalism - found that he was too embarassing to tolerate any more.

It was no surprise that he went to Iraq and carried a gun, thus endangering the historic protection journalists have in a combat zone. Now a decent woman, who wanted to cover real news, is about to be killed by the Taliban. Why couldn't they have captured and killed Rivera?

Maybe because...the Taliban knows that if and when they secure power, Rivera will be one of their best friends, as he has been to the Ku Klux Klan in this country. (Every time he needed a ratings boost, he brought the Klan on to spew their hatred, and in return, Klan membership went up due to the publicity.)

[robbedvoter]

23. Welcome Rove insight:

Rove is decidedly not a genius; he is simply missing the part of his soul that prevents the rest of us from kicking elderly women in the face.

[chat_noir]

24. God: any more exhibits to add to mosquitoes and Ralph Reed?

13. God

Charges: If your answer to the age-old question of God’s existence is “yes,” your next question should be, “Why is he such a dick?” After three major natural disasters, not to mention the eternal constants of famine, war and disease, to believe in God is to believe either that He enjoys fucking with us, or at best has totally lost interest in the whole “people” thing. Never calls anymore.

Exhibit A: Mosquitoes, Ralph Reed.

Sentence: Forever listening to an unending stream of idiotic, mundane prayers uttered by the dumbest, most inarticulate people in His creation.

Here's Bill's entry, if anyone wants to send it to him.




edited to add Bill O'Loathsome

[Joanne98]

26. Terri Schiavo HAHAHA!!!!

29. Terri Schiavo

Charges: Sacrificed her grey matter to vanity, only to become the focus of a manufactured media blitz involving the character assassination of her husband, the selective coverage of fifty protestors by 200 reporters, and a disgusting demonstration of congressional overreaching, all in deference to a frightening fringe culture’s farcical take on ethics. If you can’t tell a brain-dead oxygen-waster from a fetus, you’ve got no place debating policy or exploiting a devastated family to further your idiotic agenda or political career.

Exhibit A: As confirmed by a conspicuously underreported autopsy, Schiavo feels the same about her current situation as she did a year ago.

Sentence: To have the circumstances of her death become a bizarre political freakshow; to be worshipped as a religious idol by weak-minded weirdoes who never knew her, stripping her and her family of all dignity as she lies, powerless to stop it, in a hospital bed. Oh, right. Never mind.

[chat_noir]

something else from buffalobeast

[chat_noir]

27. dupe

[Joanne98]

28. No. 24 Jim Guckert! HAHAHA!

Jim Guckert

Charges: The most hilariously twisted figure of 2005, including Michael Jackson. Guckert, better known as Jeff Gannon, truly lived a life in need of two names: the upright, macho, McCarthyite Clark Kent and the buff, military-fetish prostitute Superfag. Gannon symbolized so many things: the exponential erosion of journalistic standards, the fundamental hypocrisy in the heart of each Republican (further evidenced by their charges of “gay-bashing” when liberals could not conceal their amusement at his outing), unseemly conflicts of interest between the press and the GOP, etc. But what was lost in the sauce was that Gannon was a straight-up plagiarist, actually copying and pasting sections of White House press releases into his articles, and we don’t mean quotations. Now that’s a lazy propagandist. Nobody seemed to find that part of the story particularly interesting, but hey, what’s violating the first rule of journalism next to hotmilitarystuds.com?

Exhibit A: Despite having been publicly exposed to be a clownish impostor and an embarrassment to his party, Gannon refuses to go away, clinging ever more tenaciously to the same self-denying dogma that made him a laughingstock in the first place.

Sentence: Reunited with reality, in the form of ass cancer.

[chat_noir]

30. Google images - WARNING

that Jeff Gannon (aka Guckert) desktop desperately needs a photoshop. :evilgrin:

[Joanne98]

33. HAHAHA!!!!!!!

[im10ashus]

35. Should have an adult warning.

MY EYES! THEY BURN! :evilgrin:

[ronnykmarshall]

40. You know the sexual tension was think here!

You know ol' Jeff was drooling over La Anderson. I know I do!!

[Kurovski]

61. Holy hemostat! Check out Cheney as a manhole salesman!

[Joanne98]

31. Pat Robertson's number ONE! YAY!

. Pat Robertson

Charges: If Pat Robertson’s local Starbucks caught fire, he would claim that God was punishing them for giving him a caramel latte when he ordered vanilla. Robertson has always been a demonic charlatan with the credibility of Miss Cleo and a lust for Armageddon in his vile, rat-toad heart, but this was really his year to shine. In 2005, Robertson called on God to vacate seats in the Supreme Court (the almighty obliged, killing Rehnquist), advocated assassinating Hugo Chavez, said ‘judicial activists’ were a more serious threat to America than terrorists, called criticism of the war treason, said John Roberts should be thankful for Hurricane Katrina, which he implied was “connected” to Roe v. Wade, attributed Ariel Sharon’s stroke to divine retribution for the Gaza pullout, said “the Antichrist is probably a Jew alive in Israel today,” and implied that God would wipe the residents of Dover, PA off the map for rejecting Creationism. Not to mention raising huge sums of cash from his zombie army, much of which is diverted from his charity operations to his business interests, including African diamond mines. Has long advocated that America simply ignore the Supreme Court. Robertson’s God is an insecure, misogynistic, homicidal fanatic—just like Pat.

Exhibit A: Vehemently opposed to voluntary abortion in America, but okay with forced abortion in China, where his cable investments depend on the good graces of the government.

Sentence: Repeatedly struck by lightning.

[lpbk2713]

34. No mention of sleazebag Gingrich.

He's been trying to get his name in the news recently. Seems like he should get his due recognition.

[ronnykmarshall]

36. That's fab!

I love the Dick Cheney one.

[WCGreen]

38. Larry the Cable Guy will go down in history as this generation as

Step and Fetch it.....

The perfect example of why the white race should not think itself so proud....

[Nabia2004]

39. Martha Stewart convicted of insider trading? NEWS TO ME

I thought the insider trading charge was dropped and she was convicted for not cooperating.

[im10ashus]

46. I thought the same thing when I read this list.

:shrug:

[progressoid]

41. Aaaaahahahahaha!!!

[MrSlayer]

42. I take umbrage at Donovan McNabb being worse than Limbaugh.

In fact he shouldn't be on there at all, compared to the rest of the douchebags on the list.

Other than that it's quite amusing.

[Nicole]

43. 12. Barbara Bush is my favorite

12. Barbara Bush

Charges: Her polluted womb nurtured the seed of American decadence. The root of America’s decay; the poison tree from whence the fruit loop George W. Bush sprang. This unfeeling, unthinking patrician hag spawned America’s most notorious welfare child, whose every glaring deficiency has been excused or underwritten by undeserved wealth. Chuckling, she remarked of poor people displaced by Hurricane Katrina, “And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them.” Of their plans for permanent relocation, she speculated: “What I’m hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas.” A true aristocrat, she sees poor people as another species.

Exhibit A: George H.W., George W., Jeb, Neil, Jenna, Barbara, Noelle, succeeding generations.

Sentence: Hysterectomy on principle. Bound and thrown into Lake Pontchartrain. If she floats, burned at the stake. If she drowns, even better.

:rofl:

[im10ashus]

48. There are some pretty loathsome people on there.

25. Paris Hilton



Charges: Won’t go away. A head so empty, the rails of coke that sustain her must dissipate in clouds around her ears; this residual high the only explanation anyone would come within five feet of her. Brainless, her spinal cord defies physics, like an Indian rope trick. Her Carl’s Jr. commercial, while an uninspired approximation of eroticism, was still hotter than her actual “sex” tape, in which she only made noise when she wasn’t screwing—that’s not hot. Squints inexplicably for photo ops, suggesting even minimal focus is beyond her. Her continued success as a celebrity famous for nothing, despite the eerie resemblance she bears to the inbred banjoist from Deliverance and a lack of talent so profound that others become duller as they approach her, indicates that something is fundamentally wrong with humanity.

Exhibit A: Somehow, everybody in America knew that this completely pointless person had lost her dog, and we are all diminished by the experience.

Sentence: Locked in a room with a high steel ceiling which lowers a centimeter per hour, until she either solves a Rubik’s cube or is crushed; whichever comes first.

[Skittles]

49. including Oprah: PRICELESS

I am astounded how many folk are fooled by her

[misanthrope]

69. Same here...

...After Oprah's shopping "incident" in Paris last year, a normally liberal workmate voiced outrage about Oprah being the victim of racism.

I responded that security videotape showed Oprah had been the victim of nothing, that the clerk had been polite, given Winfrey her business card and offered Oprah full run of the joint the next day during normal operating hours. The only thing Winfrey was a victim of was being treated as she should have after showing up past posted business hours. "Windbag" was merely ticked off because they didn't genuflect at her feet and treat her like the exception she feels she is, no different than Laura Bush or any other spoiled rich bitch.

I then told my righteously indignant compatriot that the next time she (a poor, white chick) was in Paris on a whirlwind shopping and dining tour, and Hermes let her in to shop after closing time, then she would have a case.

[Kurovski]

50. Thanks for this!

Larry the cable guy: "Sentence: Sent back in time for the sole purpose of having Mark Twain’s cigars extinguished on his face."

And Limbaugh: "...the key to Limbaugh’s success is attracting an audience that actually yearns to be lied to. It doesn’t matter how many righteous fact-checkers assail him in print and on the web, because dittoheads don’t care that he’s lying, as long as the lies justify their prejudices."

"...If political discussion were sex, the Limbaugh audience would be a horde of virgins beating off to deranged rape fantasies."

I'm still reading the rest of the list...wheee!

[OneBlueSky]

51. re: Johnny Damon . . .

"Going from the Red Sox to the Yankees is like fucking the guy that murdered your husband." . . .

love it . . . :)

[OneBlueSky]

52. 4. YOU! . ..

Charges: Silently enabling and contributing to the irreversible destruction of your planet. Absolving yourself of your responsibility to do anything about it that your immediate neighbors don’t. Assuming that it’s normal behavior to spend several hours each day totally inert and staring into a cathode ray tube. Substituting antidepressants for physical motion. Caring more about the personal relationships of people you will never meet than your own. Shrugging your shoulders at the knowledge that your government is populated by criminal liars intent on fooling you into impoverished, helpless submission. Cheering this process on.

Exhibit A: You don’t even know who your congressman is.

Sentence: Deathbed realization that your entire life was an unending series of stupid mistakes and wasted opportunities, a priceless gift of potential extravagantly squandered, for which you deserve nothing but scorn or, at best, indifference, and a cold, meaningless demise.

this is s-o-o-o-o right on . . .

[EFerrari]

54. #13. God.

#4. You.

:rofl:

[Kurovski]

55. LOL!!

Mr. Blackwell: "Is clearly motivated by jealousy towards young, beautiful women, because he knows he can never be one."

And on another note...

Michael Browns sentence: " What else? Dehydrated, starved, and slowly baked to death on a Ninth Ward rooftop while repeatedly buzzed by news helicopters. Body secretly recovered and incinerated by Blackwater operatives as part of a Cheney-initiated campaign to keep casualty figures artificially low."

Folks, you can't miss reading this list!

[hyphenate]

68. I really think the OTHER

Blackwell should be on the list instead of the fashion guy. The SOS of Ohio truly IS a loathesome being.

[Kurovski]

72. He was in the 2004 list, he was the #1 most loathsome.

See post #56 below.

[Kurovski]

56. If you want more you can read the 2004 list.

http://buffalobeast.com/50mostLoathsome2004.htm

[EFerrari]

57. Now, that's just evil. Thanks, lol! n/t

[Kurovski]

59. Bwahahaha...

:evilgrin:

Ahh, but SEE, you WANT more...you're a gal after my own heart. :-)

Some people will be none to happy to see Kerry at #5.

They also did an excellent bead-reading of Al From.

6. George W. Bush
Crimes: Too numerous to mention. The worst piece of shit ever to run this country, including King George III; when’s the last time a president made half his country want to move to Canada? Lays claim to the legacy of Jesus Christ as he hungrily sucks what little life-essence is left from the world. Appears to be only dimly aware that he is destroying the future, but seems to think it’s kind of funny.

[mod mom]

70. The kind of guy who starts talking cannibalism the minute he steps on

the lifeboat. LMAO!

Dick Cheney

Crimes: So loathsome his own party is frightened of him. Manages to deliver stunning lies with an air of sneering authority. Shamelessly employs scare tactics in order to strip the federal government of any resemblance to the one described in the constitution. So visibly evil that all of the documented evidence against him is superfluous. The kind of guy who starts talking cannibalism the minute he steps on the lifeboat.

[EFerrari]

58. From the 2004 list. #48. Scott McClellan

48. Scott McClellan

Crimes: Completely hollow. Able to regurgitate any message programmed into him without regard to its validity or internal logic. A human void, capable of sapping the virtue away from the most idealistic reporter within three jokey, familiar, stonewalling press conferences.

Smoking Gun: Hasn’t killed himself.

Punishment: Locked in a room for eternity with a camera that sprays spitting cobra venom in his eyes every time he speaks.

[Fox Mulder]

60. Hahaha.

Thanks for the laugh. :rofl:

[Greyhound]

62. LOL! Hilarious! Bob Novak shall henceforth be know on DU as

"The metastasized tumor" (see #45) :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[NMMNG]

63. Terri Shiavo should not be on that list

She had no role in the media frenzy, legal fiasco and overall craziness that surrounded her tragic situation. She was simply a victim in the whole thing.


And #4 is bullsh*t.

[Greyhound]

65. I took that as the point, especially after reading the sentence. n/t

[Don Claybrook]

71. Fair enough

I didn't particularly agree with the Martha Stewart or Jessie Jackson entries either. But don't you think that overall, it's a great piece of writing? While I will take exceptions with part of it, I won't make my only commentary on the piece in a negative light. It was well worth reading.

[NMMNG]

85. Overall it was great

I just can't see how they could put on the list somebody who couldn't even do anything of her own volition. How can you judge somebody like that?

[otohara]

73. Good List

thanks for posting

[Kurovski]

74. If you have a sense of humor at all, you're guaranteed to bust out

laughing AT LEAST three times when reading the list.

Ya' just gotta check this out folks. It'll do your immune system some good!

[im10ashus]

75. Laughter is the best medicine.

:-)

[Kurovski]

77. And the most fun you can have

with your knickers on. :-)

[ulysses]

76. LOLOL!

If political discussion were sex, the Limbaugh audience would be a horde of virgins beating off to deranged rape fantasies.

:D

[anarch]

78. bwahahaa!

Re "Larry the Cable Guy": "Exhibit A: Ostensibly ‘humorous’ catchphrase translates into “complete the task.”"

:rofl:

[AZBlue]

80. #4 is the best!!!!!!!!!!

Don't agree w/# 47,30,29,20,13. Other than that, it's priceless!

[lebkuchen]

81. It must have been a VERY tight race for 1st.

Where's Rummy, BTW?

[The Witch]

82. I LOVE that Johnny Damon is on that list.

My fiance and I had the exact same analogy that the author draws.

[Kurovski]

83. Kick(nt)

[Elidor]

84. I didn't realize Rabrrrrrr had a blog

Damned good reading.
