Who is the most despicable person on the planet?
numero uno would obviously be * and his buddies.

Is there anyone else out there in the world that is despicable?

2. * only kills people. Death is preferable to fascist rule.
Therefore thos in Microsoft Corp, those of the RIAA, and the other corporate nazis (corzis) are the most despicable. Period.

Sorry, I can't limit it to just one person unless I knew he was responsible for it all. Yes, "he" is sexist, but I'd bet you bottom dollar that the person I'd be referencing is undoubtedly a white male aged 40~50-something.

13. Every time I see his picture, I can see the cockroach in Men in Black.
Remember the roach from outerspace who "dresses" with a human skin and drives around in an exterminator's truck?
DeLay having been an exterminator should have gotten the job in this movie!

27. What I am saying is that he would not need to ham it up. DeLay
is really repulsive without needing an "exploding inner cockroach" to come out.

36. "Bugs" Delay gets my vote
Perhaps we should start a trend and refer to him as "Bugs".

It certainly fits, and also conjures up images of "Bugs" Moran, an apt and very appropriate association.

Really, you mustn't associate a beloved figure of popular culture with Mr. Sweatshop.

Shall we call DeLay "The Capitol Hill Cockroach"?

8. Maybe not the most despicable, but
if you read Bill O'Reilly's most recent column, he definitely is the whiniest. It was laughable. He complained about Terry Gross' softball interview on NPR AND Matt Lauer's "smirking" while O'Reilly was being discussed on The Today Show. I guess he is the biggest baby. Despicable is a little too hard-edged for Bill...he's more pathetic.

18. Ariel was specially impressive in this year's pageant swimsuit competition

And we are all so proud of the spandex industry and their historic and unprecedented cooperation with the Tall Ship Reenactors' Sail Division...

But I think the moment that Kissinger did that interpretive dance accompaniment to his unique vocal interpretation of "Memories" was the moment the judges just threw up their hands and agreed that this year there just could not be only one winner!

He's a LOT more evil than Chimpy. At least in the US we don't have the indoctrination of propoganda that all the people in North Korea have. Those DUMBASSES there have been trained to believe that the US and the UN STARTED the Korean War!!! LOLOLOL!!!!

Also, the North Koreans are very unpleasant and paranoid people.

21. I've watched documentaries (whatever few of them there are) on the DPRK.
Edited on Sun Oct-19-03 07:05 PM by northwest
You can tell it's an advanced police state. And NO ONE disagrees with the government, because they've killed and/or interned those who did. All there is left is a bunch of sheep and their evil master regime.

I saw that one Wide Angle doc on the DPRK (Yeah, "D"-PRK. Like that place is "democratic".), and they showed that Communist party-member household with the state propoganda radio blaring on in the distance, and the narrator explained that all those houses have to have one of those radios, and the thing can NEVER BE TURNED OFF, but can only have the volume turned down. 1984 and Orwell IMMEDIATELY came into my mind. It's almost IDENTICAL to the telescreen in Winston Smith's apartment.

29. Henry K
Please bring him to justice before he dies and goes to hell. Here is a short section - a reminiscence on the previous night's combat mission - of my copyrighted anti-Kissinger short story:

Everyone was in from the day’s missions except for two crews. Ryan and Peterson had launched at 1800 for the trail in Laos. However, US forces weren’t in Laos. We weren’t in Cambodia either, but Nixon and Kissinger were bombing the shit out of both. Welch and Quisenberry were on a mission over Dak To near the Cambodian border. They would be able to see the arc-light bombing attacks as Kissinger’s B-52s pulverized villages in northeastern Cambodia.

“Why am I here?” I asked myself, thinking back to my narrow escape from the “jaws of the cat of death” the previous night over Laos.

This is Moonbeam on guard. Aircraft operating in the vicinity of Khe Sahn: Arc-light bombing on the Khe Sahn 280-radial for 66 miles. Moonbeam out.

The NVA troops on the Ho Chi Minh trail could not see or hear the B-52s seven miles up in the night sky. I glanced up through my Mohawk’s overhead canopy, knowing I would not see the bombers either – thirty-something thousand feet above me - in the ink-black stratosphere. High in the spangled Asian winter sky, however, hung the constellations Orion and Canis Major. The reddish star representing the hunter’s right shoulder, Betelgeuse, winked against a sky as black as a Rothko canvas. Orion’s belt pointed downward and to the left, as always, towards Sirius, the alpha-star of Canis Major. Sirius, the Dog Star, competed well with the bright planets Jupiter and Mars, as they ascended in the ecliptic plane. In the distant east, over the horizon of the South China Sea, were faint streaks that hinted at the imminent rising of a waning gibbous moon. The still-fat moon could be a tactical advantage or disadvantage, depending on who you were and where you were. I always called it a “shooter’s moon.”

Just short of the seventeenth parallel, I made a turn southbound for another infrared imaging run down the trail. The jungle darkness just northwest of Tchepone suddenly exploded with a carpet of bombs from the unseen B-52s. From my vantage point at two thousand feet above the Namkok Valley floor, the eruption of the earth - with streets of fire and visible shock waves - was awesome. I thought of Kurtz: “The horror, the horror.” I looked over at my observer, a doughy former Greyhound bus driver from Paris, Texas, named Charlie Walker. Charlie was on his third combat mission over the trail in Laos. Tonight he was witnessing his first arc-light saturation bombing. He was ashen.

This is Moonbeam on guard. SAMs! SAMs! SAMs! Vicinity of Ban Karai Pass! SAMs! SAMs! SAMs! Moonbeam out.

Charlie flinched, obviously waiting for me to do - or at least say - something. “Don’t worry, Charlie,” I said, trying to calm his brittle nerves. “We are thirty miles south of the Ban Karai. They are shooting at the B-52s anyway. But things might get interesting when we get over Tchepone. Just remember what General Westmoreland once said about Tchepone, ‘I’d love to go to Tchepone, but I don’t have tickets.’ What an asshole.”

“Ha! That’s good,” chuckled Charlie. “Westy on the Greyhound to Tchepone.”

Tchepone, Laos, was a desolate, war-torn, frontier village at the deathly nexus of the Ho Chi Minh trail and the serpentine QL-9; “highway” 9. The QL-9, which wound westward from out of the mountains just south of the DMZ in Vietnam’s Quang Tri province into eastern Laos, was just another “street without joy,” as Bernard Fall had tagged the QL-1 near Hue. Tchepone, reputedly, crawled with Pathet Lao, Viet Cong, and NVA troops, along with seedy Russian advisors and CIA-types trying to keep the war going.

I watched the seemingly endless bombing and listened over my headset to the soft poetry of Simon and Garfunkel’s Sounds of Silence through the static on the Armed Forces Vietnam radio station in Quang Tri. Charlie operated the infrared camera gear.

Three volleys of tracer rounds caught my eye just to the west and close to Tchepone. I knew there were 14.5-mm, 37-mm, and 57-mm anti-aircraft guns in that area. “Better pucker up, Charlie,” I said. “The shit’s out of the barrel.”

Tracer rounds drifted up towards us, flashing from the big guns below. Initially, the few red-orange balls floating up – five at a time, desultorily - seemed harmless; even eerily beautiful. "When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night, and touched the sound of silence,” played the sentient masterpiece of Paul and Art. Then, as suddenly as a desert cloudburst, the anti-aircraft fire poured up in sheets. The NVA gunners were shooting payback from three guns; payback for the B-52 strikes. Payback, as the saying goes, is a motherfucker.

Twenty-four terrified and pissed-off young North Vietnamese soldiers, some probably chained to the guns, were shooting at us with inch-and-a-half explosive tracer shells, fed in five-round charger clips, with a rate-of-fire of 180 rounds-per-minute. The 37 mike-mike anti-aircraft crews tracked our Grumman Mohawk, bracketing us with thunder and lightning. “But my words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence,” the folk singers’ haunting lyrics addressed my darkest fears.

I pushed the nose over and dived for a lower altitude, out of the 37 mike-mike’s kill zone. “Look!” screamed Charlie. “Starboard, low!”

A stream of green tracers, like water from a fire hose, arched up from the side of a hill just to our right. A 14.5-millimeter Soviet-built ZPU, firing 600 rounds-per-minute of explosive ammunition, was shooting at close range; way too close. I yanked the Mohawk into a tight, high-G left turn to escape the ZPU emplacement, only to have another ZPU – a quad-barreled ZPU-4 – open up from my port side.

“Flak trap! Flak trap!” I shouted, redundantly, at the now terrified Charlie Walker. A round ripped through the Mohawk’s flak curtain and canopy, sending ballistic-proof glass shards into the night void. Another round slammed into the trailing edge of the starboard wing, exploding. The aircraft shuttered violently as a round hit the tail. I fought for control and dived for the relatively safety of the tree tops.

“MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY!” I managed to yell on the radio. “Crazy Cat 9-1 is hit. Just south of Tchepone. Flak trap.”


Fuck Kissinger.

22. Dirty Filthy Rotten Dick millstone round the world's neck Nixon
because of this slim ball the supreme court has William Rehnquist, an extra 25000 guys murdered in Vietnam, and of course the curse of Kissinger. There is not time or ability to list all the damage checker's master did to the world but there are not to many weeks that go by that some ripple from the cesspool that Nixon helped to create does not slpash up on decent people and leave a stench.

In case anyone needs the dots connected

No Nixon, No Rehnquist, No spoiled frat boy in 1600 penn Ave.,No Sept. 11, No so called war on terror.

30. A dvorak keyboard
has the keys layed out in the more efficient placement to allow for the hands to type at a much higher word per minute rate.

Were you not aware that the orginal QWERTY keyboard was intentionally
set up to be as difficult as possible to operate so as to keep the key hammers from jamming up on the early mechanical typewritters.

Greed is responsible for more suffering and evil than any one person, and almost every commission of any of the Christian's list of Cardinal Sins is of one substance and proceeds from Avarice.

My brother practically worships her, probably because she provides the necessary apologetics for the way he wanted to be: greedy. Atlas Shrugged is his bible and I've seen other people on the 'net who feel the same way. I don't understand. When did greed become a virtue?

39. Saddam Hussein.
I think he edges out Milosevic by a few hairs.

While I believe that the only difference between Bush and Uday Hussein is that Bush is restrained by the appearence of the rule of law, it's hard to conjecture the depth of evil of Hussein in a theoretical sphere.

Then there's that guy who played Irkel, and the Cubs fan who lost the pennant, and some guy at Hollywood and Vine who runs the music industry and gave us boy bands, divas, and all the rest of the pitiful "popular" music that grinds out of that place.
