The 50 Most Loathsome New Yorkers
It takes a New Yorker to know how to truly hate.
When ballots have fairly and constitutionally decided, there can be no successful appeal back to bullets.
—Abraham Lincoln
People pray so that God won't crush them like bugs.
—Dr. Gregory House
Oil an emergency?! It's about time, Brigadier, that the leaders of this planet of yours realised that to remain dependent upon a mineral slime simply doesn't make sense.

A lot of these are good but so far this is one of my favorites.
That and the one ripping on Drew Barrymore and her boyfriend.

Judith Miller
New York Times reporter
CONSIDERED A DOUBLE expert in weapons of mass destruction and Islam despite lacking both a science background and Arabic language skills, Judith Miller is more than a veteran lecture-circuit fraud. By relying on Pentagon officials and Ahmed Chalabi for her "scoops," she was instrumental in pumping bogus intelligence into the media echo chamber in 2002 and 2003. Thousands of dead later, she's been outed by nearly every serious watchdog journal in the country but is still defending herself. When the Army unit with which she was imbedded decided to abandon its fruitless search for weapons, she threatened to write an unfavorable story for the Times unless the search was resumed—forcing what one officer called a "rogue operation." Considering Miller's sources, it shouldn't shock us that no WMD ever turned up. It should shock us that the bitch still has a job.

The Hilton Sisters
Socialites
IT IS SAID that in pre-revolution France, aristocrats would dress up as peasants and roam the countryside. A few years later, their heads sat atop spikes. Let this be a little cautionary tale for the Hilton girls. Just because you've gone to Arkansas and fisted a cow doesn't mean you're anything but the same dirty debutantes with bony behinds. If you're smart—and based on those empty, coke-burned stares, you're not—you'll just drug yourselves into plush oblivion and leave the world's celebrity porn sites alone, lest the wrong psycho take a fascination to you.

Lenny Kravitz
Musician
WHEN IN PUBLIC, neo-hippie glam rocker Lenny Kravitz—aka Moe Ron—has been known to employ a man to follow him around and carry the flowing tail of his royal cardigan sweater. According to Vice magazine's Jesse Pearson, who once witnessed this crime with his own eyes, Kravitz's sweater chauffeur carries the hanging garment at an appropriate distance, "like a bridesmaid." We knew Leonard Albert Kravitz was a lip-glossed prima donna who spent two hours a day touching himself in front of a full-length mirror—but a bridesmaid for a boutique cardigan? That's 51 percent loathsome, 49 percent humiliating—for all of us. Don't stop fucking yourself, Lenny.

At times she's been shown to have a good body but she has never been beautiful. I don't think she's ugly but she is definately not beautiful either.13
Sarah Jessica Parker
Actress
WHEN GIRLS THINK another girl is beautiful, but guys know she isn't[, call it the Sarah Jessica Parker syndrome. Parker is a dual monument to millennial American female vanity and inanity. Spoiled and groomed to the point of psychosis, Sarah Jessica Parker is the final dead-end in the American feminine odyssey. She dresses like a drag queen, a slave and sometimes a clown. Her hair is bleached and processed literally to the breaking point: A hairdresser revealed that all of Parker's hair once broke off beneath her ears. The actress speaks like an 11-year-old girl and has less to say; lacking utterly in charm, she compensates with screamy clothes and pointy shoes. Now that she is at long last gone, we're hoping new icons will spring up to replace her, and we're hoping they'll be wearing no-name jeans, going light on the eyeliner and reading a newspaper every once in a while.
Rudy Giuliani was the best= the other benefactor of post 9/11 brain death. "Wow, he was mayor at the time and he .... was in New York ... at the time. It happened. So he's a hero. Yeah."

I'm not saying he is beyond reproach, but he is a hell of a lot more respectable than most polititians in this country. He is an effective, consistant leader that can not only function, but thrive under pressure. He's lightyears beyond people like Bush, Kerry, Clinton, Ted Kennedy etc.... All one needs to do is remember the open cesspool that was NYC in the 70's- early 90's, and then look at it today.BoredShirtless wrote:

"Rudy Giuliani
Businessman
FOR RUNNING AROUND the streets of Lower Manhattan without visibly crapping himself, Giuliani was elevated from the world's most hypocritical goon to He-Man, Master of the Universe. Forget his violating federal handicap laws, his wars on rent control and community gardens, his refusal to test DNA rape kits until the five-year statute of limitations was up, or his corporate real estate giveaways—Rudy is now considered a Great and Heroic American Mayor. After office, Rudy wasted no time cashing in on his immaculately conceived new stature, riding into a post-mayoral sunset of private sector millions, five-figure lectures and flattering rumors about his political future in the GOP. It was toward this last end that Rudy came out in defense of Bush's Ground Zero campaign ads last month. And why not? He's co-chair of the Republican National Convention host committee, and the tragedy saved his sinking ass too.
Congratulations, Rudy. Though we prayed you'd fade away, your insistent grandstanding, lingering influence and threats of future public office leave us no choice. For actions past and present, you are hereby crowned 2004's Most Loathsome New Yorker. If we didn't have a rule against it, you'd probably be here for life."
Sounds like a real worm. The kind you stamp out with your feet!

Chuck Schumer
U.S. Senator
The Senator puts even his peers to shame with his media whoritude. During the Waco hearings, he grandstanded by berating the hapless survivors of that tragedy like an alcoholic school principal. Always trying to protect us from ourselves by pushing for laws to ban anything that seems dangerous in the slightest, but at the same time doing everything he can to help car owners, cellphone users and his friends in the (formerly) Big Five accountancy firms. His weekly Sunday press conferences never amount to anything—except in those cases in which he's taking credit for someone else's legislation. Schumer's most recent loathsome act? Oh yeah, calling on the EPA to exempt New York from new cleaner gas laws so gas prices wouldn't go up.
Heh.

You weren't there. This city was on the verge of a fucking meltdown. While our president was running with eyes like a deer caught in the headlights Rudy was down at WTC site before it fell and was caught in the storm of rubble and debris. He lost many close personal friends that day but he knew that many of us did and he cowboyed up and stood before the cameras and gave us nearly hourly briefings on what was gfoing on. He was a LEADER. Far more than that piece of shit that led us to war that day.Vympel wrote:Rudy Giuliani was the best= the other benefactor of post 9/11 brain death. "Wow, he was mayor at the time and he .... was in New York ... at the time. It happened. So he's a hero. Yeah."
And before 9/11 he took a city that was on the verge of tearing itself apart thanks to David Dinkins' disastrous "Gorgeous Mosaic" ideals which included providing free burials to slain drug dealers and did what they said no mayor could ever do to NYC.
He cleaned it up.
Times Square was a wretched hive of scum and villainy and now families can walk freely htough the area and not get assualted with porn theaters, crackheads and pimps. Crime plummetted and the city was clean. Graffitti strewn subway cars became a part of our past.
He did more in his tenure than any other mayor except perhaps La Guardia.
Wherever you go, there you are.

She did have a nice body in the movie L.A. Story with Steve Martin. I really haven't watched anything with her in it since except for a few commercials for hair coloring.

Your favorite pal Clarke spilled the beans on the Armageddon plan,
which included locking up the top government officials in hardened
bunkers, which was being deployed on 9/11, so shut the fuck up about
brave heroic rudy.

'Armageddon' Plan Was Put Into Action on 9/11, Clarke Says
By Howard Kurtz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, April 7, 2004; Page A29
An "Armageddon" program designed to ensure that the federal government would continue to function in the aftermath of a nuclear war was put into place during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
According to ABC's "Nightline," which plans to report its findings tonight, every federal agency shifted its control to an alternate headquarters outside Washington. President Bush's decision to fly to Nebraska that day instead of returning to the White House, which drew some criticism at the time, was part of that plan, former counterterrorism official Richard A. Clarke said on the program.
"Nightline" expands on a book by James Mann that detailed the birth of the program, named "Continuity of Government," during the Reagan administration. Under the plan, if the United States were facing a nuclear attack, three teams of 50 federal officials would be sent from Washington to locations across the country -- each with a Cabinet member who was prepared to become president.
That is what happened on Sept. 11. "Questions were raised by talking heads about the president's courage or lack of it because he didn't return directly to Washington," "Nightline" anchor Ted Koppel said yesterday.
"This was absolutely the Armageddon plan put into effect."
Clarke told the program: "Every federal agency was ordered, on the morning of 9/11, to activate an alternative command post, an alternative headquarters outside of Washington, D.C., and to staff it as soon as possible." The former administration official also said he has participated in regular exercises over the past 20 years in which he has "gone off into caves in mountains in remote locations and spent days on end in miserable conditions, pretending that the rest of the world had blown up, and going through the questions, going through the drill. . . . Everyone there play acts that it's really happened. You can't go outside because of the radioactivity. You can't use the phones because they're not connected to anything."
Mann, whose book "Rise of the Vulcans" was excerpted last month by Atlantic Monthly, reported that Richard B. Cheney, then a Wyoming congressman, and Donald H. Rumsfeld, then a drug industry executive, were heavily involved in shaping the program during the 1980s. Both men, who were also former White House chiefs of staff, participated in the mock disaster exercises, which included convoys of lead- lined trucks carrying sophisticated communications gear to the secret locations.
During the Sept. 11 attacks, Vice President Cheney and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld found themselves carrying out a plan they had designed two decades earlier for a very different kind of threat during the Cold War.
ABC confirmed that Rumsfeld ordered his deputy, Paul D. Wolfowitz, to move to an undisclosed location outside Washington. Cheney was similarly dispatched, as was House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.), who under the Constitution is second in line for the presidency. Several Cabinet members, including Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman and Interior Secretary Gale A. Norton, were also removed, said Mann, a former Los Angeles Times reporter.
Koppel said that most members of Congress will be surprised to learn the plan's details, although selected leaders have been briefed. He said he felt "reassured" by the plan because "it seems to make common sense. You want the executive branch thinking about how to restore some kind of order in what would be absolute chaos."
The Washington Post reported in 2002 that as part of the plan, Bush has dispatched a shadow government of about 100 senior civilian managers to live and work secretly outside Washington. These officials have been rotating in and out of one of two fortified locations along the East Coast, according to three officials with firsthand knowledge, the story said.
