> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > My recommendation is you do it as a “March Madness” competition rather than a poll. Those usually work better when you’ve got a long list. Good idea. I haven’t conducted one of those yet. Would you mind taking over for me on that? I’ll post the collection of names I have up to now and you can take it from there, if you will. Besides, you’ve contributed at least 1/3 of the 80+ names so far! 😃 This has been the biggest and quickest response to one of these threads I’ve started, and I’m feeling a combination of thrilled and overwhelmed. ---

I’m not sure if this is considered kicking someone when they are down but her name hasn’t been listed in this thread before. She has a long history of viciously shredding people who have lived on fruit and ice water for months without even a forkful of chicken just because she doesn’t like how their clothes look on them… Joan Rivers. ---

Not that you’re required to justify, just asking. Because of her smug self-righteous stance on nutrition. I wonder how many carrot sticks she eats at those state dinners and Hawaiian vacations? She’s the poster child for the the government thinking they know best how we should be running our lives. ---

I was mostly funning by including Kyle’s Mom. I would expect real living people to get more of the real votes anyway. Maybe as a separate exercise? No telling what’s on people’s minds today! 😉 ---

> [@Zeldar](#): > > Good idea. I haven’t conducted one of those yet. Would you mind taking over for me on that? Not a problem is you wish. But it’s really not that difficult to do. The easiest way is to start with a list of 64 or 128 names. Rank them in some kind of plausible order - alphabetical is simple - and then pair them off. Let people vote on who they find more offensive. Count up the votes and delete the name in every pair that gets less votes (you get to cast tie breaking votes). Take the resulting list, which is half the size, and do it again. Repeat until you’re down to a single name. But as I said, I’ll do it if you’d prefer. ---

> [@kopek](#): > > Yoko Ono and Hanoi Jane Fonda. > > I don’t forgive easily. If anything Yoko kept the band together for about two more years by convincing John to go in to the studio and he wouldn’t go without her. Yoko may be a raving bitch (I don’t know), but she did nothing to hasten the end of The Beatles, and probably kept them going long enough to do their best work. Even my Mom, who knows nothing of The Beatles, knows that Yoko is the woman who broke up the band as a cultural trope. Nancy Grace. What a waste as a human being. No, that is offensive to people who are a mere waste. She is a banshee of venomous bile spewed on cable. She and her capos are a disgrace to all things decent. Ann Coulter. Same sort of thing, but I’ve always had the impression that she might be doing performance art without regard to the political position she does it from. It’s like the Stephen Colbert persona while never making a joke. ---

Geez, 63 posts to get to Dr Laura? What is wrong with you people? Of late, I have come to seriously dislike **Arianna Huffington**. She is not really a bad person as such, but she has taken to stumbling around in her own confusion, and her fans, what are left of them, are stumbling around as well. She just needs to fade into obscurity. Meanwhile, I know some bitter person will nominate Sarah Silverman – for whomever that will be, I have no kind words, but I guess her name should go up there because there are people who really dislike her. ---

> [@](#): > > Quoth **Tim R. Mortiss** : > > Because of her smug self-righteous stance on nutrition. So, let me get this straight: Telling people that they should eat healthily is more offensive than, for example, telling people that they should avoid the most effective, beneficial medical advances humanity has yet developed. How is Michelle Obama’s movement for healthy eating any different from, say, Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No to Drugs”? Aside from the fact that that particular instance of the government knowing best how to run our lives was accompanied by actual binding federal legislation (i.e., the government _actually_ running our lives instead of just telling us). ---

> [@VinylTurnip](#): > > I think we’ll find that the wife of every Democratic (male, or maybe someday, lesbian) President from here on out becomes an honorary target for scorn, simply by association with whoever the current “worst President we’ve ever had” happens to be. And to be fair to the right wing, Ms. Obama is awfully uppity. Keeps opening her mouth and saying stuff, instead of standing silently like a First Lady is supposed to do. > > Of course, Mr. **Mortiss** may have a specific, concrete and completely justifiable reason for hating Michelle Obama, in which case we should all prepare to be enlightened. > [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > In fairness, somebody just nominated old lady Bush, too. In further fairness, Mrs. Bush has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that she had no idea how to raise a decent human being. OTOH, at least at the moment, Malia and Natasha seem to be perfectly delightful young ladies. ---

She redeemed herself in the years that followed. Among other things, she did a reality show with some other D-list celebrities, and a then-coworker who’s a lesbian told us about seeing her funeral on the LOGO channel, which is all GLBT programming. There was Vanilla Ice, Ron Jeremy, etc. right there in the front row with her family. And I second Michele Bachmann. How did that woman ever get elected to public office?
