3. Jimmy Carter

4. Michael Moore

[fujiyama]

5. I like Krugman and Carter

Both very intelligent people and the latter is a great public servant - personafies the term in every meaningful sense.

[politicaholic]

6. I would have to go with Moore...

Jimmy Carter is a close second.

[rkc3]

7. And no one drug-tested Bernie before he wrote this shit?

I'd love to hear from a RW nutter how Jimmy Carter is screwing up this country.

Unlike previous Repub presidents (who went into hiding after their terms were up), Carter has actually done things to make this miserable fucking planet a better place to live.

I think I'd break my foot off in someone's ass if they spewed hate over Carter in my presence.

[Malingerer]

9. funny

I just got a mental image of someone actually breaking a foot off in someone's ass.

I don't think it would be a fun thing to do. :)

Although it would DEFINITELY get their attention.

[rkc3]

12. I'd probably feel better afterwards. That's what really counts.

[katsy]

11. I'm with you on this...

How can Carter be on this list?

How can ANY of this people be on this list?

Where's that pos in the white house?

Where's corporate/military/industrialists?

Where's reagan?

This is RW bullshit.

[Terran]

17. Because the asswipe who wrote the stupid book

is a right-wing ideologue, even though he claims not to be ("Ooo, I criticized Judge Moore over the Ten Commandments thing--see, I'm not a conservative jerk-off!")

You should have seen John Stewart taking him apart on the Daily Show the other night.

[katsy]

21. I missed it.

:cry:

[Terran]

24. He made the guy look like a moron

and did it politely. Basically he told Goldberg that what goes on in our culture is not as important or influential as what goes on in our government, and he wished someone of his talent (see how polite?) would spend their time writing about how people in government (any government, not just Bush's) are the ones "Screwing Up America".

He also made it clear that for every left-leaning personality mentioned in the book, there's a right-winger doing something analogous. And that there are maybe three right-wing people mentioned in the book, "one of whom shot an abortion doctor".

It was a very good show for JS!

[katsy]

25. Thanks for the brief...

and bravo Jon!

[Ready2Snap]

8. 1 for Anthony Romero

cuz he's an equal opportunity screw up.

[lvx35]

10. 2 for Anthony Romero

[lvx35]

13. What happened to George Soros?

He used to be the republican boogeyman, but he has just faded away!

[SeveneightyWhoa]

18. Don't you worry!

He's definitely in the top 20, as are Howard Dean, John Edwards, and (I believe) Paul Begala.

[jobycom]

14. Jimmy Carter. Jesse Jackson is second

America needs to be more screwed up.

[Raiden]

15. Jimmy Carter - Hands down

What a great guy, and a TRUE Christian!

[XemaSab]

16. carter

definitely.

such a gentle man.

[Terran]

19. Carter

I must admit I don't know who some of these people are, though.

The temerity of Mr. Goldberg for putting Jimmy Carter in this book is appalling. Carter has done nothing since he left the WH but work on behalf of the poor and for democracy, here and abroad. How the FUCK is he screwing up America?? Besides, as an ex-President, he has the right to say whatever the hell he wants to say about politcal issues.

[booley]

20. Moore and Krugman

Moore for telling the truth and doing it well. he is a great film maker. Even without the politics involved.

and Krugman for telling me the truth about the economy in a way that makes it easy to understand.

I think that's one reason most people don't really get economics in politics..they hear tonnes of numbers and thier brains click off...

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. Jimmy, Michael, Paul, Ted.. .etc

27. President Carter

How Goldberg could put such a man on a list of people he thinks are screwing up our culture is beyond me. What was the thesis of his project (I know, I'm making it sound like Goldberg put some thought into it)?

[kliljedahl]

28. Jimmy Carter

Anyone see Goldberg on TDS a couple of nights ago? Jon did one of his double segments to really skewer him.

29. Not that goldberg filth again. Repukes think he's unbiased...

And only because he has a blurb on idiot Savage and Ken Lay (which lacks any editorial comments but has only statistics. Hmmm, does that mean he's only sorry Enron went kaput? I don't know. Maybe if he said something from his point of view than parroting statistical numbers...)

The guy's a shill. Nothing more.

[mwb970]

30. I haven't read the full list of names.

Odds are I admire all the ones I've heard of. After all, they're almost all liberals. Who else would screw up America?

[lancdem]

31. Jimmy Carter

[The Revolution]

32. Carter

He just seems like a genuinely good guy, who has done a lot of good for a lot of people, yet never demands recognition. While republicans spend a lot of time spewing hate and talking about how great they are, Carter just keeps doing what is right.

I remember a few months ago, Al Franken was talking to his ditto head friend about Carter. Rush had been attacking Carter, saying something to the effect of "Carter hasn't done any good".

Al proved (again) that Rush was full of shit, as he showed how Carter had helped to fight river blindness in Africa.

[FredScuttle]

33. Jimmy Carter, no contest

His Nobel Prize tells Goldberg to shut the fuck up and sit down.

34. President Carter... and here are some of my reasons...
