The Bottom 50

The Beast has a great list of the 50 Most Loathsome People in America, 2007.

It spreads the hate around pretty widely, though any sensible list of hateworthy people is going to skew heavily against Republicans.

But it's more than merely a liberal hate list. For example:

17. Hillary Clinton

Charges: Began in politics as a teenage Nixon supporter -- that's twisted. Moved on to corporate law, representing Wal-Mart and bravely defending Coca-Cola from disabled employees. Married out of ambition. Failed miserably as the first lady of health care. Has spent whole of senatorial career as a hawk and a panderer. Would have no shot at becoming president if she didn't just happen to be married to one already.

Exhibit A: Has deftly avoided the flip-flopper label -- by never, ever answering a question directly or committing to a position in the first place.

Sentence: Victim of vast right wing conspiracy to shove a brick up her ass.

Harsh but awesome: The 50 Most Loathsome People in America, 2007.
