Bit of a porky pig tho.

I'd nudge John Derbyshire up too for his idiotic comments on Abu ghraib - if you don't know his words of wisdom were "kick one for me." Yeah and add the lawyer for arguing that piling naked prisoners in pyramids isn't abuse because "cheerleaders do it all the time."

Anyone want to do a nicer list of 50 people who everyone should adore? As long as Oprah winfrey isn't on it. She's as bad as Dr Phil with her "another sensational trend amongst our nations children - middle class teenage prostitutuion" crapola. She's as tabloidy as the rest of them.

A couple of them are obvious - but why the entire cast ?
And what has Toby Keith done to unleash your wrath upon him ?

(Not familiar with the last one - Country singer I think.)

"The obnoxiously gung-ho country singer Toby Keith (who, in the wake of 9/11, scored a country number one with an offensive record called Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American), which threatened "we'll put a boot in your ass, it's the American way", launched his own anti-Chicks crusade. His shows now feature a backdrop depicting Natalie Maines and Saddam Hussein as lovers. Another image has her face superimposed on the body of a toad."

The top 50 list in the original link describes Keith as an "ambulatory hamburger".

Martha Stewart. Smug cow.

Isn't Celine Dion a French Canadian - is she now (also) a US citizen?

That has to be the least convincing denial since "I did not have sex with that woman".

Thanks for your nominations but again I have to ask for what reason ?

Who is Nancy Pelosi and why is she so loathsome ?
The original list mentions mostly famous (or infamous people) - what is this reason for her inclusion ? She's not all that well known...

Still Canadian but I'm including anyone that is resident or works here.

She's high (or is that low ?) on the list already.

S'pose I ought to give reasons for the two I mentioned in the first post (and add some):

Sean Hannity - surely one of the most shamelessly dishonest people on the planet. Add to that an intolerably smug, condescending self-righteousness and you have a combination that makes me want to boot the ****ing telly in if he appears even fleetingly.

Rush Limbaugh - another liar but not in Hannity's class. Limbaugh's speciality is pompous hypocrisy: Virtually advocated the death penalty for drug addicts until everyone found out he was one himself, since when he's changed his tune somewhat. Has been one of the biggest cheerleaders for the Iraq war but dodged the Vietnam draft because he had an anal cyst (true).

Trent Lott - Republican. Still advocates segregation. Has hair that makes Donald Trump's look sensible. Nuff said.

"Pastor" Fred Phelps - homophobic barely hints at this bloke and his sick organisation, which has been known to picket the funerals of gay people with "God hates fags" banners.

Zell Miller - he's on the list in the link but I just wanted to mention him again. His speech at the republican convention was an assault on democracy itself.

Paris Hilton - no talent, no brains, no class, and to be frank not that much in the looks department either.

Whoever wrote the screenplay for "Ocean's Twelve" - never have I felt so personally insulted by a movie and so angry that I'd given the makers my money. As the movie critic for The New Yorker put it: "the film treats us like servants who are expected to be thrilled that our masters are having such a great time on vacation." Quite.
