I nominate:
Kelsey Grammer: plugging the new “Frasier” season under the guise of mourning for his producer.
The NFL: equating “their” heroes with the NYFD on yesterday’s telecast; it literally made me ill.
I’m sure there are others I can’t think of yet . . .
Rudy Gulliani has gone from hero status to a bit grating…
Sen. John Edwards from Virginia is practically running for President. Ditto for Gephart.
Bill O’Reilly (but then, he’s always a whore)
Sen. John Warner
Jeez, how could I forget him (Jesse Jackson)?!
Henry Kissinger (why the hell does he need to see the ruins of the WTC)?
Enough of Giuliani, too.
Dare I say, Laura Bush, and while I’m at it, Jebbie, too?
CNN! I never thought I would prefer Fox and MSNBC (I’m a left-winger), but they are just being way too cheerleaderlike. I guess they are US Government whores, but you get the picture.
Ann Coulter
Ok, so Kelsey Grammer and all of those people who were in that stupid charity event might have been… a tad ignorant BUT, I think most of them did it with the best intentions, and some gave a lot of money like Julia Roberts, (who I’m NOT a fan of), and Jim Carrey…
The only real media whore... Mariah Carey. Big surprise there!
Oh, and the media.
YES!!!
Scientology…!?
Will Smith:
“One of the greatest heroes of our time – Muhammad Ali [subliminal plug for my upcoming bio-pic]”
Dan “Madman” Rather:
"A wise man once told me “revenge is a dish best served cold.”
Oprah.
Why? Because she’s Oprah, and so she can’t help it.
Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban! They almost killed a BBC reporter and photog for filming them (the prohibition against graven images) but there they were last week on all the networks inciting violence.
Deepak Chopra.
Jon Kyl.
Yes, he is cute and intelligent, but dare I say it–Sebastian Junger?
America West Airlines–they ran an ad last week that I call naked extortion. “If we have however many people fly on AWA before Dec. 31st, we will donate one million (or something) frequent flyer miles to an unnamed charity.” Sheesh, no wonder they are in such dire financial straits.
Fidelity Investments guy, I forget his name; the one who looks like Andy Warhol.
Peter Lynch?
Media Whores Online makes a good case for Howard Fineman. Their criteria are based less on frequency of TV appearances than on abjectness of self-debasement, though.
Every car dealership in Maryland: “Keep America moving! 0.0% APR - just buy a car! Please, buy a car! Someone, for the love of God, buy a freaking car! I’ll give it to you half price! Bad credit? We don’t care! Please, please buy a car from us!”
I’m almost tempted to test-drive a Lexus and see what kind of deal I can get.
