Tim Eyman. Washingtonians will know who he is. I haven’t even lived there for 4 years, and I still hate the guy with a fiery passion. ---

I’d go the Machiavellian route and pick one of the Supreme Court justices that I’m not politically aligned with. Hopefully, the replacement wouldn’t just be a loony who still wouldn’t help any cause I support that came before the court, but would also sway a ruling that it’s unconstitutional to use a stick in self defense or something. :smack: Maybe I should just stick to plain old revenge…in which case there are a couple of _California_ Supreme Court justices that I wouldn’t mind exiling to some country with “democratic” in the title. ---

Dear Paris, I have been given the power to banish one person from this great country, and I chose you. You see, I work third shift, and when I have idle time I like to catch up on my celebrity gossip. You take up too much of my time. I know we once had a good thing going, but now you just overwhelm me. I feel that you refuse to change, and I need variety. So sorry. Srsly. Take care, NRichards PS: Feel free to take Doug, I hear parasites die once detatched from their hosts. ---

You folks are simply listing annoyances. these two people are worse than any annoyance: Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden. [http://www.wellesley.edu/Polisci/wj/Vietimages/fonda.htm](http://www.wellesley.edu/Polisci/wj/Vietimages/fonda.htm) Yes, I am a Viet Nam Veteran. Yes, I hold a grudge. ---

I’d banish Obama. He can still be president. Just want to see him do it from some “remote region of Earth.” Also, if I may, this region won’t have internet but it will have a very unreliable phone line. He’d have people fly out to him daily or communicate to the country by mail or something. ---

I’m torn between Nancy Grace and Larry King. They’re both insufferable and seem to pop up way too often on TV and Internet. It’s easy enough to avoid Limbaugh, Phelps, etc. Cheney would be a good pick, except he keeps making the case against his own positions, which is becoming amusing. I guess I’d go with Grace, since she’s probably got more years left. ---

Cheney, if only because he’ll stand some chance of being tried for his crimes in another country. Bush was just Cheney’s puppet. ---

Jerry Jones, as in owner of the Dallas Cowboys. Let the so-called “America’s Team” be Siberia’s Team, please please? OOH or Samantha Harris, so we can try for a cohost on Dancing With the Stars who can string more than three words together coherently. ---

> [@Coldfire](#): > > [Geert Wilders](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geert_Wilders), a Dutch neocon (though atheist) politician that’s been gaining an alarmingly big following the past few years. Whereas his spiritual predecessor Pim Fortuyn (murdered in 2002) had some flair at least, Wilders is all hatred and no charm. An intellectual amoebe, feeding the gut feelings of the great unwashed - and fuck me, it appears to be working. I guess a country deserves the government it gets, but DAMN, is this place going down the shitter fast. In light of that answer (and one person I was thinking of too. I loathe the guy), can I banish myself? I want to emigrate anyway. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/banish-one-person-from-your-country-forever/498093.md?page=2)
