The 5 Worst People of 2005

TIME magazine just named their Person of the Year (persons as it turned out). But there were a lot of not-so-great people in 2005. So, here’s my list of the Top 5 Worst People of 2005:

1. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin — along with Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco, Mayor Nagin was the person most responsible for planning, preparing, and executing an evacuation plan of New Orleans in case of a major hurricane or levee breach. And when Hurricane Katrina hit his city, he was the single person most responsible for the human suffering that followed. That’s enough to put Mayor Nagin on this list. But Nagin makes numero uno because of his defiant finger pointing and inability to accept any responsibility or criticism.
2. Cindy Sheehan — opposing the war is one thing, but to defile the life and memories of your dead child to do so is disgusting. Cindy Sheehan started off as a media darling when it was conceivable that her protest was all about her dead child. But the more she carried on, the more she appeared at the side of celebrities, the more she grinned her way through staged-arrests, and the more she spewed antisemitic rhetoric, the more it became obvious that it wasn’t about her son — rather it was all about her.
3. The Reverend Jesse Jackson — Every time there was camera shining on some undeserving idiot, you could count on the Right-Reverend Jesse Jackson to make an appearance and to preen for the cameras. Before Cindy Sheehan jumped the shark, Jesse was there smiling for the cameras and criticizing the Republican President. When convicted murderer Tookie Williams was set to be executed, there was Jesse criticizing the Republican Governor. Jesse is an opportunistic racist, and has done more to damage race relations than he has to repair them in this country.
4. Howard Dean — More than any single person this year, Howard Dean shit on the work and morale of our Soldiers, and gave hope to our terrorist enemies. Howard Dean doesn’t even pretend to dislike the heart of this country — conservative Christians. Luckily for Republicans, Howard Dean will be the single largest factor in the Democrats not winning in 2008.
5. Terrell Owens — first Terrell claimed he couldn’t afford to feed his family on his paltry multi-million dollar a year salary. And then one year into a very lucrative 7-year contract, Terrell decided to call out and criticize his coaches and fellow players. When, surprisingly, that didn’t get Terrell more money, he decided to fight his own teammates. Instead of getting a new contract, Terrell got suspended and then kicked off the team. Sadly, this is exactly what the prima donna wanted. For being a cancer to your team because of your unrivaled selfishness, Terrell, you are on this list.

Others receiving votes: Michael Schiavo (for starving his wife to death), John Murtha (for being a cut-and-run defeatist), the rest of the Democratic party (excluding Joe Biden), Al Franken and the rest of Air America radio (for stealing money from at-risk children), and Hollywood’s Limo-Liberals.
