Least influential? Really? President Obama? Edward Snowden? Does GQ know the definition of the word “influential”? It doesn’t mean “has the flu”.

The man keeps telling us over and over that those damn dirty republicans are keeping him from doing all the wondrous things he wants to, so how influential can he be?

I think the list isn’t entirely serious.

Saying that Edward Snowden wasn’t influential is just plain stupid. He was probably one of the most influential people of 2013.

Yeah, that one was just incomprehensible. But hey, we’re talking GQ here, not a bunch of rocket surgeons. :cool:

Wouldn’t most of the people on the SDMB be on that least influential list?

I think people have to have at least heard of you, which come to think of it probably eliminates half of their list. :smiley:

I think this is GQ’s failed attempt at being droll and hip.

They should stick to giving collar stay advice and the always controversial hot topic of knotting a tie.
