No Turban Durbin ?
I like this...lol.
This from the Seattle Times, no less. Liberal? Why I'm sure the editors of the paper consider themselves 'balanced', 'progressive', and 'nuanced'.
The 50 MOST LOATHSOME NEW YORKERS by NEW YORK PRESS had the best list.

Janeane Garofalo
Comedienne/Activist
"OHMIGOD. IT'S RIDIC," exclaimed the daughter of an Exxon executive when asked about the backlash against her born-again activism. Less ridic is the ditzy disdain this liberal Dennis Miller with tits has for the rest of humanity. "Evil is in the face of every frat guy that ever raised a beer cup and went whoo-hoo," Garofalo once observed in a tv plug. But that was before her political phase, so maybe Janeane's evil bar has been raised. In a 1996 Playboy interview, Garofalo explained: "I don't want to see Friends anymore, even though I am friends with some of the Friends." She's a name-dropper who claims to hate the names; a counter-culturist who likely reads Adbusters over a Starbucks mocha latte; a muddled activist who protested Bill Clinton's bombing runs—at least starting in 1998—but still hangs a picture of the man on her wall (she's shaking his hand). "I never imagined that I would never care about dumb things anymore. I never imagined I'd be a person who could transcend that kind of nonsense," she told the Progressive. We never imagined a second-rate comic could so bug the shit out of us.

Donald Trump
Developer
THE MAN AND his nest of orange hair refuse to die peacefully. Donald J. Trump represents New York to Americans the way George W. Bush represents America to Europeans. The Tower casts a shadow over New Jersey in the morning and Long Island in the evening, while the tax breaks Trump receives for his projects cast a shadow over New York City's budget. Despite his wealth, Trump's resume of significant good works could be spoken without a breath by Brenda Vaccaro doing a Playtex commercial. Even he admits that his pro bono re-engineering of Central Park's troubled Wollman Rink was to give his own kids a place to skate. The Donald's primary public service since 1987 consists of taking out full-page ads in the major New York dailies calling for the death penalty for five defendants in the Central Park jogger case—whose convictions were later overturned. Bill Gates has donated $100 million to fight AIDS in Africa; Donald Trump's contribution to the war on HIV consists of having his supermodel prostitutes tested before going in bareback. He claims to build things people like, but if most Manhattanites had the chance, they'd throw him off the island in a pair of cement Pumas.

Howard Stern
Disc Jockey
WE NEVER CARED for Howard's mooky blatherings, but we support him in his 11th-hour conversion to free-speech champion. Too bad the jackass waited so long to take a stand—a more chicken**** millionaire you'd be hard-pressed to find. He choked when he ran for governor, helping instead to elect the biggest tax-and-spend Republican in New York history (who gave us two of the biggest subway fare hikes in history). With his money and fan base, Stern could've taken on the criminals at the FCC a long time ago, but as always, the smut jock went ostrich, burying his face in a pair of fake tits while the Constitution got crumpled. Come to think of it, scratch the opening line. We hope Ashcroft locks him away for 10 to 20.

AbeFoxman
National Director of Anti-Defamation League
FOXMAN'S ADL HAS paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines and civil suits for various abuses over the years—like spying on the African National Congress—and yet continues to enjoy the endorsement of law enforcement officials and a cowed media. The superhumanly self-righteous gasbag makes $450,000 as Likud's point man at the highest echelons of U.S. thought crime enforcement, where he smears critics of Israel with allegations of anti-Semitism and honors the memory of the Holocaust by allying with oven-chasing lawyers and those who would downplay the Roma genocide to bolster the case for Jewish exceptionalism. Even fellow Sharon-shill Bill Safire wanted him to resign after his role in the Marc Rich pardon. For the book on Foxman, see Norman Finkelstein's The Holocaust Industry (Verso), written by the child of two survivors. Foxman helped block the publication of one of Finkelstein's earlier books in 1998. Just another day at the ADL office.

Berkeley's chock-full of loonies.
It ain't charming.

Oh good..... I'm not on the list.
OOpps -- here, I'll fix it:
4. Jesse Jackson, Democratic African-American activist race pimp and master victimologist
How about everybody that produces anything to do with cRap music?
I'm glad to say that I've lived long enough to see conservatives acquire a portion of the media. We're having some fun now.
Yeah, it's not as if his book "Bias" documented his accusations or anything...
---trust fund babies
So----is someone going to post the list? They're not even listed in the article.....
Hey, I like the list, even if it is done by a conservative. We've been taking in the shorts for so many years from the dominant liberal media, it's about time for some payback. We've seen every conservative raked over the coals in the past with no prove.
Dang. Great list. If only it were an obit.
;o)
I can't open the link, anyone have it cached? - what does it say about Krugman?
Very good. Maybe this person is a freeper? LOL
