Oh yes! Once again, The Beast presents its annual and scathingly accurate 50 Most Loathsome People in America. I'm glad they do this each year — it's valuable to see whose star is in ascendency. I was #3 on last year's list (as were you), and we slipped to #4 this year, bested by truly the three worst people around.

A few favorite highlights:

Michael Brown (#35): “Second fiddle to Bush’s Nero...”

Ann Coulter (#27): “...a revolting skeleton with a boob job and a grotesquely oversized head, who feeds only on the hatred of her target audience, liberals.”

Bill Frist (#21): “A physician whose senatorial career has been a protracted renunciation of the Hippocractic oath. First and foremost, Frist does harm.”

Karl Rove (#15): “A greasy pig whose only distinction in life is his total lack of decency. Rove is decidedly not a genius; he is simply missing the part of his soul that prevents the rest of us from kicking elderly women in the face... Quite possibly the worst person in the worst White House in American history.”

Barbara Bush (#12): “Her polluted womb nurtured the seed of American decadence. The root of America’s decay; the poison tree from whence the fruit loop George W. Bush sprang.”

Tom Delay (#5): “A politician so horrible, his prior career as an exterminator constitutes fratricide. Smiled for his mug shot like it was a campaign poster.”

Dick Cheney (#2): “A true psychopath with only one motivating force; insatiable greed... So cartoonishly evil he defies parody.”
