The "Beast's" 50 Worst People of the Year
Bill sent this along, and I think it is well worth sharing - The BEAST 50 Most Loathsome People in America, 2007. While Paul Fallon (the author) has some on the list whom I would not include, he also includes many that I would such as:
47. Mike Huckabee, 40. Lou Dobbs, 39. John Boehner, 35. Tim Russert, 33. John Hagee, 29. Dinesh D'Souza (who most folks would miss), 26. William Kristol, 23. Bill O'Reilly, 13. Anne Coulter, 10. Alberto Gonzales, 8. Michael Chertoff, 7. Erik Prince, 2. Dick Cheney, 1. George W. Bush. I would add John Bolton and Negroponte, and "weather reporters" everywhere for keeping the public in the dark on global warming.
Dinesh D'Souza is proof that the corporately funded right wing think tanks have developed cloning.

Posted by: rowan at December 29, 2007 11:00 AMCommon, you guess, Reagan graduated with a D average in Sociology! My God! The only parallel I can think of even close is that idiot who was Dean of the University Of Northern Iowa "School Of Business," formerly known as the "SOB," who wrote by formula, "Bridges Of Madison County," that Eastwood then turned into an Oscar winning piece of art, so the son of a bitch here retired and moved to live in his pick up in west Texas some where I hope the wind gathers him up and dumps him in the ocean somewhere! Damn! Crap! It's been a long day! You know Reagan first made it big here, too, as an a voice on WHO radio...God there is no hope, no hope at all! I'm caught in a perpetual Dangerfield joke! Shoot me! Please!!!!!

Bolton is one of the most loathesome human's ever to merit an "ambassadorship," and his presence at the U.N. was akin to Gonzales' role as Attorney General--farcical and destructive. Everything about him makes my skin crawl.
I'm eager to see the rest of the list.
Ed, you have to read The Ditches of Edison County--a satirical rendition of that horrid Bridges of ...? It's hilarious.
Reagan as a Sociology major, are you kidding!?!?! I lived under several Reagan governorships in CA, what a disaster he was. I was reading that Lou Dobbs considers himself a "populist" who examines the excesses of capitalism an globalism--a curious interpretation of his blatantly protectionist and xenophobic politics.
