The Beast runs it's annual "50 Most Loathesome People in America, 2005" and I have a hard time disagreeing.
Surely Donavan McNabb doesn't belong in a year in which one of his teammates displayed some of the most selfish and self-defeating behavior ever in the NFL (and that's quite an achievement). I'm also not sure what's so crazy about Thomas Friedman's take on globalization.
And as Andrew Sullivan points out, Pat Robertson shouldn't be forced to apologize for his beliefs, even if they involve the eventual destruction of all Jews when the rapture comes. They're his beliefs, after all. The real dolts are the millions of people who listen to him.
And what? No Donald Rumsfeld? I suppose you could fill an entire list with Bush cronies. But here's one responsible for the incompetent prosecution of a war and the hubris to accept no blame for anything.
Otherwise, what we've got here are 47 truly loathsome people. Proof of the rotting of Middle America.
