It definitely wasn’t as funny as last year’s list. Still, good for a few macabre chuckles, especially the Larry Craig bit. [QUOTE=Redfury] Could you give me some background on the webzine? First I hear of it though I so enjoyed The List that it went into my bookmarks. Other that saying it runs out of Buffalo (NY I suppose) I couldn’t find any additional info on-site. [/quote] I don’t know all that much about it either. From what I can tell it’s monthly, rather left wing, cynical, and gleefully offensive. That’s about it. P.S. - If you enjoyed this list, you’ll probably like these one’s too: [2002](http://www.buffalobeast.com/50_most_loathsome.htm) [2004](http://www.buffalobeast.com/66/50mostLoathsome2004.htm) [2005](http://buffalobeast.com/91/50.htm) [2006](http://www.buffalobeast.com/113/50_most_loathsome_2006.htm) Enjoy! ---

It’s probably more accurate to say that it’s a requirement for numerous network host jobs. Have you _seen_ The View? Frankly, the fact that the Beast knows any of their names is more disturbing than all of those things about Ms. Whoever. > [@elucidator](#): > > Droll and venomous, the perfect antidote to the Christamas ooze. You said it! This is exactly what I needed, even if parts are a little disappointing. ---

[QUOTE=Hostile Dialect] Have you _seen_ The View?.. [/QUOTE] Actually, no. I heard something about it in some other media related to Rosie coming or going, and later about Whoopi talking about Michael Vick’s cultural background that explains dog fighing, but I’ve never actually seen the show. And the more I hear about it, the more I think my head would explode if I did see it. ---

The list is worth it just for that caricature of Hillary. That wide-eyed look and dopey grin when she greets people is vomit-worthy. No wonder Bill fools around.
