The Beast's 50 most loathesome people of 2007!

Last year I was #3, this year I’m #9. Hopefully, I’ll be out of the top 10 next year.

Because they’re the 2 most loathesome people in America. Duh.

And to think it wasn’t so long ago you were Time’s person of the year. How the mighty have fallen…

Should have said SOME of you:

Meh. Partisan crap, not even well written. Masturbation fodder for 18 year old lefties. Too stupid to realize that it’s exactly the same as much of what it’s criticizing.

Really? I think most of these names are pretty well known. Leaving out the Britney Spears types there are many names that should be well known to anyone with even a passing knowledge of American politics and culture. Which of these people hadn’t you heard of?

Nicole Richie
Trent Lott
Hugh Hefner
Chuck Norris
John Boehner
Mitt Romney
Tim Russert
The Founding Fathers
Dana Perino
The Troops
Britney Spears
William Kristol
Mormon Jesus
Bill O’Reilly
David Petraeus
David Vitter
Larry Craig
Hillary Clinton
Chris Matthews
Anne Coulter
Alberto Gonzales
Michael Chertoff
Rudy Giuliani
Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid
Dick Cheney
George W. Bush

Nicely admitted. See #9. If you don’t recognize the top 10 people on that list alone, just what have you been paying attention to?

Anyway. . .I think its funny.

I like anything that’s just iconoclastic just for the hell of it. Let’s just poke holes in the 50 most prominent names in American political and pop culture. Sometimes you don’t need well reasoned arguments to demonstrate that someone is a total douche bag.

Haven’t heard of the following from your list. What do I win? :slight_smile:

Nicole Richie
Trent Lott
John Boehner
Mitt Romney
Tim Russert
Dana Perino
William Kristol
Bill O’Reilly
David Petraeus
David Vitter
Larry Craig
Chris Matthews
Alberto Gonzales
Michael Chertoff
Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid

Nothing, ya Brit. Can’t go calling major American politicians obscure just because y’ain’t from 'round here. :stuck_out_tongue:

I said “named people” so as to exclude #9, #32, and #28. As for the top ten (excluding #9), I recognise only four names: Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Fred Phelps, and Rudy Giuliani. Reading through the rest of them, they appear to be American politicians, jurists, and criminals. Not living in America, it’s hardly surprising that I wouldn’t know who they are. What proportion of Americans can name the Attorney General of Canada, the perpetrator of the latest mass shooting in Germany, or the leader of the two main UK opposition parties? My point isn’t that Americans are uneducated, but that people in general tend to pay attention to news from or affecting their own political and geographic area.

Oh, ok.

Yeah. . .I guess you were right the first time. . .they have a VERY SPECIFIC TARGET AUDIENCE: America.

What a niche.

…and hoping against hope it’ll make a difference.


Thanks for the links and what little additional info you where able to gather, George K*.

*Mebbe I should just call you plain ‘George’ as adding just the ‘K’ sounds like an intro in an AA meeting :wink:

Can Nancy Grace be added at 13.5 as the unholy love child, over aged due to fertility drug use, of Glenn Beck and Anne Coulter?

Who says Bush will move out? I bet he’ll pull a Musharraf.

That works for me. If he joins the military he’ll go AWOL again. Gone is gone.

Okay, so the Brit doesn’t know American politicians. Not surprising. Let’s give this a real test. These are the ones I’ve never heard of:

David Gregory
Sherri Shepherd
Steven Moore
Master Chief
John Hagee
Deryk Schlessinger
Michael Ledeen
Glenn Beck
Harvey Levin

You are joking, right?

Yes. (Well, I hope so. :wink: )

I’ve not heard of (from your list):

John Boehner
Tim Russert
Dana Perino
William Kristol
Mormon Jesus (is this different from Regular Jesus [sup]TM[/sup]?)
David Vitter
Chris Matthews

Also, some of the other names I’ve heard of, but have no idea who they are or why they are in the news:

Mitt Romney
Bill O’Reilly
Michael Chertoff

And I’ve lived in the U.S. all of my 47 years.

You don’t know why Mitt Romney is in the news? He’s a major presidential hopeful, dude.

Far out.

BTW, that’s Dudette. Only my son calls me “dude”.
