Obama Makes GQ's 'Least Influential People of 2013' List: 'A Very Eloquent Hat Stand' By Noel Sheppard Created 11/24/2013 - 1:26pm
The news got worse for Barack Obama Sunday: for the second time in three years he made GQ's "Least Influential List."
This time the magazine referred to him as "a very eloquent hat stand":
He can blame Republicans in Congress all he likes and get away with it because congressional Republicans are the worst. But the fact remains that I have spent the majority of this man's presidency watching bad things happen, then hearing a thoughtful speech about how we gotta make sure the bad things never happen again, and then watching as nothing gets done. Next time there's an election, I want Nate Silver to analyze the data and tell me who to vote for so that I don't end up casting my ballot for a very eloquent hat stand.
Ouch!
Back in 2011, GQ had this to say about the President when he was the 25th entrant:
Okay, so we're cheating a bit with this one. He did order the raid that wiped Osama bin Laden off the face of the earth. But then he used that surplus of political capital to let everyone in Washington stick a boot in his ass. This is a man who should be the most transformational figure of the century. Hell, he promised to be that. Instead he wields all the power of a substitute teacher at night school.
Did GQ put Obama on this list in 2012? No. Instead, the magazine named - wait for it! - Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
As this list always comes out in late November, GQ could claim it wasn't being partisan.
However, in July of last year, the magazine featured a lengthy hit piece about Romney wherein he was referred to as a "Tin Man."
Also of note, GQ admitted in 2007 that it had succumbed to pressure from the Clintons when it shelved an article it was about to run critical of Hillary.
That said, others on the 2013 list include:
Fox News's Howard Kurtz CNN's John King NSA leaker Edward Snowden (seems an odd choice, no?) Lady Gaga Tim Tebow Miley Cyrus Pope Benedict XVI Justin Bieber Anthony Weiner And at number one, Dennis Rodman
(HT Weasel Zippers)
If you lose GQ you have really lost the country
Hat stand or asshat?
Asshat stand?
He’s on the list because he’s not Stalinist and totalitarian enough for them. They want Conservatives in Concentration Camps.
stolen Post ,Bro.
as eloquent as the teleprompter is anyway... other than, it's a stuttering fool
And his abs have fallen off the radar at ‘Mens’ Fitness.’ He’s washed up.
I don’t know about “eloquent,” though.
Asshat stand.
When praying.
Perhaps “gifted teleprompter reader” would be more appropriate.
Well, except for Congressional RATs and RINOs...and of course all the millions of Marxist bureaucRATs in the departments of the Executive Branch.
Oh, and the Communist in Chief....after that they are the worst.
Hmmmm...for some reason that makes me think of an Empty Chair.
I take exception. He is NOT eloquent and NOT a good orator people only listened to him for a 3 year period because he was partially African.
#1. He’s not elegant.
#2. He does not have soaring eloquence.
He gets away with stumbling over the teleprompter far worse than W ever did and the leftist losers eat it up. Just like this deal on Iran.
Who reads GQ anyway, the homos?
Name and rank, no serial number...
25. Jodi Arias (WHO???)
24. Dr. Cornel West - the writer’s complaints about Cornel aren’t that he’s a Marxist with racist tendencies, nope, it’s about him coming out and criticizing Obama’s policies (especially putting homosexuals ahead of the black community)
23b. Howard Kurtz - lib writer from the Daily Beast (again speaking out about a homosexual)
23a. John King (WHO??? CNN journalist)
22. Edward Snowden
21. Lennay Kekua (a.k.a. Manti Te’o’s fake dead girlfriend) <- WHO??? EVEN GQ had to include it in her name
20. Zack Snyder (Hollyweirdo)
19. Mike Jeffries (WHO??? Abercrombie & Fitch’s CEO)
18. Ryan Reynolds (Hollyweirdo)
17. President Obama (this man at least CLAIMS to have a man-date to do what he wants to the rest of humanity)
16. The Cicadas (not a band, not a person, insects. lowly insects)
14. Jann Wenner (Rolling Stoned editor and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame warcriminal)
13. Chris Culliver (more pink journalism about someone who took the wrong viewpoint on homosexuality)
10. Will Smith and family (I guess they counted this one as THREE)
11. Lady Gaga (gagme)
12. Tim Tebow
9. Prosecutor Angela Corey (Nifong had a sex change)
8. Prince George (antibreeder babble)
7. Aaron Hernandez (sports weirdo)
6. Miley Cyrus (yet the more stunts she pulls, the more press metrosexuals give her)
5. Pope Benedict XVI (3 times less influential than Obama?)
2. Paula Deen (numbering jumped from 5 to 2, pardon if I skipped anyone relevant)
4. Justin Bieber (here’s #4, but in the click throughs, Paula was next to the Pope)
15. Alex Rodriguez (sports weirdo)
3. Anthony “Call Me Seymour” Weiner (his support went limp)
1. Dennis Rodman (sports weirdo, I thought he dropped off the face of the media over 5 years ago)
