Biggest Public Figure-Related Pet-Peeve

[GiovanniC]

What is your biggest pet peeve about a public figure? One caveat -- the public figure can be anyone in the public eye EXCEPT BUSH. Lord knows there's enough about him to fill volumes.

For me: Scott McClellan -- the way he says the word "important."

"Im-pour-DANT".

2. Ashcroft.

Everything about him.

3. Rummy's ramblings

and how everyone swoons over him. Jesus, the man isn't even coherent.

4. Mine's not one particular public figure. Mine is the way the media

falls all over itself to cover BREAKING NEWS! whenever any celebrity is accused of anything illegal.

For example: Why the bloody hell was it a news item on news radio this morning that there is a hearing in Michael Jackson's case today? They mentioned that the accused is not required to be there and probably won't be there -- yes, they said both things. Then they said that there will be extra security on hand to deal with the crowds that they anticipate will be there to catch a glimpse of the man.

Why is this news? Not just, why will there be crowds, but why is this news?!

I don't give a good god damn if Nick Nolte is picked up for drunk driving or Hugh Grant gets caught getting blown in some alley or Michael Jackson is a pedophile. Let them have their day in court and shut the fuck up about it and leave it alone!
