derby's 15 most annoying people of 2010

[derby378]

15. Stephen Hadley, CEO of UnitedHealthcare and one of the main reasons why real health care reform failed in 2010.
14. The guy at the theater who shouted "YEAH, GET SOME!" during the lesbian sex scene in The Black Swan.
13. Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), who dared to apologize to BP for the government's investigation of the Deepwater Horizon spill.
12. Tony Heyward, CEO of BP, for somehow managing to be an even bigger jerk than Barton.
11. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), for introducing us to "terror babies." Yeah, he actually went there.
10. The White House insider (possibly Rahm Emanuel) who called health reform advocates "fucking retarded" for threatening primary runs against pro-compromise legislators.
9. The inventor of the Shake Weight. Don't pretend you don't know.
8. Rep. Michele Bachman (R-MN), who landed a spot on the House Intelligence Committee despite being, well, Michele.
7. Any TSA agent who performs those invasive searches at airports, especially on children.
6. Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC), eternal enemy of labor unions in America.
5. Governor Rick Perry (R-TX), who defeated his Democratic opponent despite refusing to debate him on the campaign trail.
4. Any Tea Party activist who thought it was cool to bring the N-word back by putting it on rally signs.
3. Sarah Palin, for far too many reasons to list here. A "reality TV" series? Come on.
2. Governor Jan Brewer (R-AZ), for rolling out the red carpet for outright racism in her state.

And finally...

1. Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT), for proving over and over that anyone who chose him over Ned Lamont in 2006 made the mother of all mistakes.

1. K&R

:kick:

2. Lieberman was the driving force behind the repeal of DADT

sure wasn't Obama

[derby378]

3. Too little, too late

Yes, we should give credit where credit is due, but a surprising number of Senate Republicans voted to end DADT as well.

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. Lieberman is just like a stopped clock

[Edweird]

6. Or it could have been a little political quid pro quo, with your statement as the intended result.

[jberryhill]

7. Because his war agenda needs every volunteer it can get /nt

[cascadiance]

19. Yeah, we wants to stop a rash of "Coporal Klingers" if we have a draft again...

... to support his desired increase of war mongering...

DADT would be a major hurdle for the draft if it were still in place then.

[COLGATE4]

14. Cynical calculation now that he sees that he'll have to run as

a Dem if he wants to be reelected.

[Renew Deal]

15. Another lie

21. Obama was going to let the repeal die

it was Lieberman who took up the bill and ran with it

[CurtEastPoint]

5. Correction: Jim DeMint (R-SC)

But yes, still an ass.

[derby378]

8. Corrected, thanks!

:dunce:

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. I would add

Kris Kobach - newly elected SOS in KS who wrote the racist law in AZ

The Koch brothers - for buying an election, I mean several elections

Bill Gates - the college dropout who is trying to reform education

[derby378]

10. Was Kobach the guy photographed in neo-Nazi brownshirt garb?

Good suggestions!

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. I don't think so

He's a law professor who is the attorney for several anti-immigrant groups.

[CurtEastPoint]

12. Kobach: Accdg to Wiki...

Kobach is married to wife, Heather, and lives with his three daughters Lilly, Reagan and Molly.

I'm sorry but... Heather, Lilly, Reagan and Molly? What a cliched little family.

Reagan?

[Whoa_Nelly]

13. K&R

[crim son]

16. They're all terrible but

Louie Gohmert stands out for being not only annoying, but seriously creepy and blatantly stupid as well. Oh, and Maine's new governor Paul LePage made such a fool of himself during the first debate that he opted out of the second one. Everybody knew why he was a no show but he won anyway. Excellent.

[tularetom]

17. You needed to post your 16 most annoying people

So you could have a place on the list for angry bitter impotent old misanthrope john mccain.

Stamping his tiny feet in anger as he is forced to live with the humiliation of losing the presidential election to a black guy and being upstaged by his running mate.

[cascadiance]

18. A few more additions that should be considered...

Joe Miller - This guy from Alaska who's like to bring about fascist private citizens arrests in Alaska
Steven King - The congress critter from Iowa that constantly says things he shouldn't...
Andrew Breitbart - does he need an explanation?
Glen Beck - now this is a real notable missing item on this list!

[WolverineDG]

20. gosh, derby, thanks for the spoiler

I haven't seen Black Swan yet. :cry:

otherwise, good list.

23. I didn't think it was a secret anymore

I knew that the scene didn't rank on the same level as The Crying Game, but at least I still tried to keep it vague. I goofed anyway. :blush:

22. I'd put Bristol, Willow, TOODDDDDDD on there

And leave some of the people off.

[derby378]

24. Shall we visit the sins of the dumbass on the heads of her children?

If Barbara and Jenna Bush deserve our contempt, they should earn it on their own merits, not their dad's. But it's true that he doesn't help.
