It's hard...it's such a target rich environment. Osama is an obvious choice, but then, which Clinton to choose? Scott Peterson has "disappeared" himself, deservedly so, as seems to have occured with both Ben Affleck and JLo, happily for us. Michael Jackson...next year perhaps? Jacques Chirac?..mais, certainment, d'accord!!..John Kerry is in the process of disappearing, as is Dan Rather; so they're probably NOT worth a vote. Same for Teresa Heinz Kerry. Al Gore has already vanished.

Some might vote for Howard Dean, but come on..we all really WANT him to stay and be the chair of the DNC..Kofi Annan can get some votes..Martha Stewart tried to "disappear" herself, but has failed. Shall we help her? Sick of Donald Trump? Can we "fire" him?

This number from the Mikado shows Sullivan's talent as a composers, but, IMHO, it really features Gilbert's at his satirical best, skewering, the "societal offenders who might well be underground, and who never will be missed."

NOTE:Possibly some kind soul can attach a midi to this thread, so you can hum along as you enter your choice..

"As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I'v got a little list--
I've got a little list

Of societal offenders who might well be underground
And who never would be missed
And who never would be missed!

CHORUS:

He's got 'em on the list--he's got em on the list;
And they'll none of them be missed--they'll none of 'em be missed! OK..here's YOUR chance...it's a tough job but somebody has to do it...Which personage of 2004 would best serve humanity by vanishing..PFFT!!.at the stroke of midnight tonight, and WHY?..and please defend your choice..

Kofi Annan should go pffffttttt!

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Katie Couric.

[MarineDad]

Don't have to wish...the festering little pile of dung is already gone - Yasser Arafat, the world's most celebrated and wealthy (ex)terrorist.

Rot in Hades, scum!

[contemplator]

As you said Osama was the obvious. IMO Jaques Chirac going pfftt would have the next largest impact on the global scene. Kofi came to mind first, but he is already fading on his own.

[clintonh8r]

bill clinton, The Impeached One.

[mainepatsfan]

John Edwards. Unfortunately he'll probably pop back up again in four years.

[MadelineZapeezda]

Lawrence O'Donnell followed by Chrissy Mathews

[CounterCounterCulture]

Propagandist Michael Moore

[kahoutek]

Tom Thumb Daschole

[xJones]

Michael Moore, the giant slug that grew legs.

[Allan]

I nominate the entire editorial board of the New York Times.
But if I have to choose just one, I guess it is "Pinch".

[MarineDad]

I realize it doesn't really qualify according to the criteria you set, but I'd very much like to nominate the entire insane murder cult of

ISLAM

to this wonderful list.

For reasons quite obvious to most...

[Maria S]

Maybe your 'neighbors'?

[APFel]

It's not the bigname libs that bug me. Most are paid to act like buffoons. Not journalism's flavor-of-the-week, (Scott Peterson, Paris Hilton) either. Howabout leftist editorial writers of the MSM? Not the people writing them per se, but the concept as a whole?

APf

[LRS]

Easy! Michael Moore.

Too bad a tidal wave didn't sweep him away, and while floating at sea, a Japanese whaler spots him...

[Victoria Delsoul]

Arianna Huffington and all the socialist feminazies. They make women look bad.

[Former Dodger]

The unfunniest man in America, Al Franken...although being the top "personality" on "Err-America" has made him almost invisible.

Bill Maher is a close second, but then there's Eleanor Clift, and Juan Williams, there's just so many!

[Muzzle_em]

I'd say the most shrill was Hillary, as usual.

TerAAAAza was certainly obnoxious too!

[Imaverygooddriver]

Hitlery would be my choice. I live in New york and have had to put up with that `Rat for 4 years, and now it seems as 2008 rolls closer I may never escape hearing or seeing the dreaded Hitlery.

[bonfire]

Most all of Hollywood.
