The Hogan Family. I’ve despised Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bolea since the moment I laid eyes on his leathery skin and ridiculous fringe of overprocessed hair. Now we all have to be subjected to his cougar of an estranged wife, attention whore daughter and best friend maiming, shit stain son. My hatred. . . there are no words:mad: ---

You know, you can play a 2 minute clip of ‘An Officer And A Gentleman’ and see him slam-dunked face-first into a pool by a flight simulator upside down. It gets better on continuous loop… 😃 I know, I know, but the scene in ‘First Blood’ where he’s raped repeatedly over a rock and made to squeal like a pig is lost forever to the cutting room floor… ---

Cussed out folks for just being in the room, impossible to please, enjoyed being cruel and what she said about the folks who paid to see her was unbelievable. Total waste of oxygen.

I go to do a lot of his shows and always had a grand time.

Only complaints and criticisms for all around. > > His pilots were really funny, if the $$$ were not so good, I don’t think he could get anyone to fly for him. They had some cute stories about because once in the air, they were pretty much in control of his well being. Once, he had made them stop on the way to an performance at an big auction and the weather kept getting worse and they kept trying to get him to leave. Well, he finally did and they knew the plane could take it so they just sorta forgot to make an issue of using the seat belts. Hank and his right hand Colonel just started drinking and goofing as usual and then they hit the turbulence. Threw them all around the cabin it did. they said that from then on, when they said it was time to go, he did not stall them around… 😃 > > Just an arrogant performer.

A little gem I found for all those people who mentioned Jenny McCarthy: it seems the latest role in her illustrious career has been the videogame _Red Alert 3_, the plot of which involves the kidnapping of Albert Einstein by time-traveling Russians. Not only is her acting worse than that of many porn stars, it seems she’s taking her role [quite seriously](http://fileshack.com/file.x/12918/Command+&+Conquer:+Red+Alert+3+Tanya+Movie). ---

Robin Williams. Can not STAND that man. He’s not funny. Hell, any comedian who relies on impersonations drives me crazy. That guy that sings the song during the opening credits of Monk. And many other people who have been mentioned already lol Except Will Ferrell. Love him. Yes, I hate Robin Williams and love Will Ferrell. ---

I reflected a bit and didn’t think I had anyone to add. Then I remembered Nancy Grace. Both she and whoever does her graphics (Child Dead! Child Dead!) need to be sent far far away. And if Sylvia Browne can be considered a celeb, she and BFF Montel can go with them. ---

I used to strongly dislike Tom Cruise but then I saw him in Tropic Thunder and have to cut him some slack. He was fantastic in that. He’s just got such a rat face. Plus the whole scientology thing. ---

Rush Limbaugh: a walking argument against Freedom of Speech. It isn’t even his politcs that bother me anymore, although I think he’s sliding more and more into the lunatic fringe on that front. It’s that he thinks he’s **so** funny, **so** talented, and **so** much smarter than everyone else. It’s not enough for me anymore to simply not listen to his radio show. The mere fact that he’s still doing it makes me want to do unpleasant and anti-social things to him involving an icepick, coarse salt and scalding hot rubbing alcohol…:mad: ---

Limbaugh is smart, very smart as a matter of fact. And he’s very talented and very good at what he does. The problem is that he’s had to go further and further afield to avoid sounding like a broken record (and also in an attempt to gain additional listenership, I would imagine) and so he’s becoming almost a parody of himself. I don’t listen to Limbaugh anymore and haven’t since the Chelsea Clinton dog joke which revealed to me that he really was a mean-spirited asshole, but I’ve seen and read enough about him these days to get a pretty good handle on what he’s saying and how he’s acting now. It’s just regrettable to me that unfettered decades-long bias against the right by the entertainment and news media has not only created an opening for him, but made him and the others like him (O’Reilly and Hannity, for instance) necessary…which, unfortunately, they are. Without them, the right would have no voice at all in the public dialog.
