Unfortunately, no one on my 2018 list seems to have died. This list is nearly identical to last year’s, except that I have removed two corrupt cabinet officials who have left in disgrace (Scott Pruitt and Ryan Zinke) and replaced them with two despicable right-wing pundits: Limbaugh and Coulter. (I would have chosen Hannity, but I felt the list needed more women. Diversity is a good thing, don’cha know.)

Mike Pence
Mitch McConnell
Paul Ryan
Orrin Hatch
Steve Bannon
Roy Moore
Rush Limbaugh
