Obama @ 50, Palin and McCain 1 & 2 respectively.

Bush pipped to 3rd by Sean Hannity.

OJ in the middle of the pack somewhere.

Eh, if you're not politically-minded, you wouldn't know over half the people on this list. And it's really for the most part the most loathsome Americans.

Isn't it slightly redundant to point out they're American? I mean I wouldn't expect Craig Conroy on the list, but still...

Best one:

43. You

Charges: You think it’s your patriotic duty to spend money you don’t have on crap you don’t need. You think Hillary lost because of sexism, when it’s actually because she’s just a bad liar. You think Iraq is better off now than before we invaded, and don’t understand why they’re so ungrateful. You think Tim Russert was a great journalist. You’re hopping mad about an auto industry bailout that cost a squirt of piss compared to a Wall Street heist of galactic dimensions, due to a housing crash you somehow have blamed on minorities. It took you six years to figure out what a tool Bush is, but you think Obama will make it all better. You deem it hunky dory that we conduct national policy debates via 8-second clips from “The View.” You think God zapped humans into existence a few thousand years ago, although your appendix and wisdom teeth disagree. You like watching vicious s insult each other on TV. You support gun rights, because firing one gives you a chubby. You cuddle falsehoods and resent enlightenment. You think the fact that 43% of whites could stomach voting for an incredibly charismatic and eloquent light-skinned black guy who was raised by white people means racism is over. You think progressive taxation is socialism. 1 in 100 of you are in jail, and you think it should be more. You are shallow, inconsiderate, afraid, brand-conscious, sedentary, and totally self-obsessed. You are American.

Exhibit A: You’re more upset by Miley Cyrus’s glamour shots than the fact that you are a grown adult who is upset about Miley Cyrus.

Sentence: Invaded and occupied by Canada; all military units busy overseas without enough fuel to get back.

Brett Farve at 44 isn't high enough. And he's begun the humming over retirement once again. Go check into a retirement home and shut the hell up Brett.

Good to see Samuel Wurzelbacher (aka Joe the Plumber) on the list at number 20.

What the hell was Joe The Plumber doing in Isreal last week? Why is he still getting airtime?

[Rifleman]

Poorly written, self important, not to mention the writers sound like idiots with IQ in the single digits. In short, not worth the server space it resides on. That's 5 minutes I'll never get back, thanks very much.

[Bagor]

He's now Joe the war correspondent.

Joe Wurzelbacher, the Ohio plumber who became briefly famous during the US presidential campaign when he tackled Barack Obama on his tax plan, is on his way to Israel to be a war reporter for the conservative website pjtv.com.

Sad thing is that the first thing that came into my head was pipe bombs.

You sound exactly like the article!

Don't even know who 2/3 of the people are

They're just trying to get rid of him without it looking like they're trying to get rid of him.

Yeah, I'm happy to say I only knew who maybe 12 of them were. The less hate in my life the better, and I didn't really like the feelings conjured up by reading the names of some of those I do recognize.

All lists pretty much suck, this one just sucks more.

Nothing is worse than this line.

You think Iraq is better off now than before we invaded, and don’t understand why they’re so ungrateful.

[Swifty]

Fundamentally, there is much the authors wrote that few of us could disagree with, but because of the obvious embellishment and seeming hatred that the article is adorned with (done to garner a few more hits on the counter no doubt) I couldn't continue to read.

They come across as angry and slightly self-righteous, which accomplishes little in my mind.

But I did like the part about America being sentenced to invasion from their neighbours to the North
