Ashton Kutcher

OK SO I CHANGE MY MINE
I have thought of Hollywood has there share of morons and idiots and even flat out assholes too. Sure the conservatives are big in Washington even in small Topeka Kansas. But Hollywood is also full of elited morons who don't know anything better. It comes to the point when Hollywood assholes are over come when great stars are suddenly thrust in the place with the marquee with lesser known actors or those actors who are just plain pathetic. It was terrible that Hollywood once a hot bed of great stars like Bogart and Tracy are stuck with actors like Ashton Kutcher or Sean Penn with his liberalism. We are stuck with Hollywood romances that are as fleeting quickily and there we have raving maniacs like Tom Cruise dancing on couches saying he loves a younger woman. Hollywood surely has gone down hill with these idiots. You have idiots like Mario Lopez who while married to the extremely sexy Ali Landry has an affair on his honeymoon. Talk about stupid. Celebrities now are just pathetic and there fame is slowly deminishing we have lost all our great actresses and actors.
Asshole number 5 Sean PennPenn launched his career in the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High in the role of Spicoli, and has since starred in over 40 movies and won an Oscar for Mystic River. He has also been nominated for three other Academy Awards for his roles in the films I Am Sam, Sweet and Lowdown and Dead Man Walking.
In 1991, Penn made his directorial debut with The Indian Runner, a film based on Bruce Springsteen's song Highway Patrolman from the Nebraska (album). He has since directed two more films, both starring Jack Nicholson, The Crossing Guard in 1995 and The Pledge in 2001.
Penn's personal life has been a volatile one. He married pop star Madonna in 1985, a relationship marred by violent outbursts against the press intrusion into his life, including one incident for which he was arrested. After a divorce in 1989, Penn started a relationship with Robin Wright, with whom he had two children before marrying her in 1996.
On October 18, 2002, Penn placed an $56,000 advertisement in the Washington Post asking President Bush to end a cycle of violence. It was written as an open letter and referred to the planned attack on Iraq and the War on Terror. In the letter, Penn also criticised the Bush administration for its "deconstruction of civil liberties" and its "simplistic and inflammatory view of good and evil." Penn visited Iraq briefly in December 2002, largely eschewing meetings with the press.
On April 10, 2003, Penn's limited-edition 1987 Buick Grand National, with two firearms in the trunk, was stolen in Berkeley, California. Penn came under criticism that his gas-guzzling car and gun ownership did not jibe with his advocacy of liberal causes.

Moron Number 4 Tom Cruise.On May 23, 2005, Cruise raised some eyebrows with a frenzied appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show in which he —in the words of The New York Times— "jumped around the set, hopped onto a couch, fell rapturously to one knee and repeatedly professed his love for his new girlfriend, the actress Katie Holmes." Some publicists have speculated that this has lowered his reputation considerably, sparking controversy as to whether or not producers will drop him from future leading roles in various movies.

ASSHOLE NUMBER 5.Fred Phelps (born November 13, 1929) is the controversial leader of the Westboro Baptist Church, an alleged cult, in Topeka, Kansas, United States, which is notorious for its web sites godhatesfags.com and godhatesamerica.com. Gay rights activists, as well both mainstream and fundamentalist Christians, have denounced him as a producer of anti-gay propaganda and violence-inspiring hate speech. The church is located in the basement of his home, which is the center of a block-wide fenced compound, the other houses in which are occupied by nine of his thirteen children.
In 1994, a reporter working for Stauffer Communications, Inc., filed a lawsuit about ownership of a book he had been researching for them, which details the life and activities of Phelps. Because the text of the book was entered as Exhibit A, the text entered into public domain. A link to one source of the text of this book is included below.
The distributed text describes Phelps as a ferocious child-abuser and wife-beater and proposes that he was instrumental in the death of his eldest son's first wife. Most of these claims are endorsed by two of Phelps' sons and one of his daughters, but are denied by their other siblings, who are not estranged from Phelps.
More recently, Phelps was the subject of nationwide controversy when his family proposed, in a referendum, the removal of workplace protection for homosexuals in Topeka. The measure was defeated, 53 percent to 47 percent. Also in 2005, Phelps's granddaughter, Jael, was an unsuccessful candidate for Topeka's City Council
Number 4. William James "Bill" O'Reilly, Jr. (born September 10, 1949) is the host of a popular American cable television opinion program, The O'Reilly Factor on the FOX News Channel. O'Reilly also hosts a radio program syndicated by Westwood One called The Radio Factor and has authored five best-selling books, one of which is a novel. Recently, he has voiced concern about what he sees as the harmful influence of gangsta rap on children, the high level of mismanagement of charity funds for September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks victims and the liberal bias of The New York Times along with many other mainstream media outlets.
Traditionally conservative views
Supports harsher prosecution for hard drug dealers
Supports strict enforcement of immigration law by placing the National Guard on the U.S.-Mexico border
Feels that the mainstream media (such as network news, The New York Times and The Washington Post) has an extreme secular and liberal bias and is intent on undermining the authority of the Bush administration as well as the U.S. military.
Supports 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq, while skeptical of the Bush Administration's handling of the occupation and lack of WMD evidence
Opposes the ACLU and frequently criticizes the organization in broadcasts
Supports subjecting violent criminals "to life in prison without parole in a federal work camp [...] in effect a gulag [...] to labor eight hours a day, six days a week in the harsh climate," because he believes that the death penalty is not harsh enough punishment [11] (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=23246)
Supports prohibition of late-term abortion
Believes that the Democratic Party has been hijacked by a far-left, secular-progressive agenda.
Opposes court decisions holding that people have the right to enter into same-sex marriages, and has called the issue "crazy gay marriage insanity" [12] (http://mediamatters.org/items/200504150005)
Believes gays and lesbians should stay closeted about their sexual orientation, especially those in position to influence children, though he says that he does not feel there is anything wrong with them as individuals.
Opposes publicly funded medicine beyond what he considers a necessary "safety net"
Opposes federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, though believes research done in the private sector could be "promising"
Supports what he calls "coerced interrogation," at Guantanamo Bay, which he agrees some people would characterize "torture," as he believes it saves the lives of others [13] (http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/06/18.html#a3501)
Opposes public secularization.
Feels that Intelligent Design, a controversial offshoot of religious creationism, deserves at least a minor place in public education.
Has called on prosecutors to seek the death penalty for a suspected killer [14
Number 3. Tucker Carlson: The Bowtie Nazi Douche bag on CNN Crossfire. Carlson has stated that while he votes, and cares deeply about conservative ideas, he does not care about the success or failure of any political party. This partisan ambivalence has been a cause of friction between him and Republican political figures and movement conservatives. In 1999, during the 2000 Republican Presidential primary race, Carlson interviewed then-Governor George W. Bush for Talk Magazine. Carlson reported that Bush mocked soon-to-be-executed Texas death-row inmate Karla Faye Tucker and "cursed like a sailor." Bush's communications director Karen Hughes publicly disputed this claim.
While vocalizing conservative views, Carlson has not hesitated periodically to level criticism at fellow conservatives. Carlson has been a harsh critic of conservative activist Grover Norquist, for instance, calling Norquist a "mean-spirited, humorless, dishonest little creep ... an embarrassing anomaly, the leering, drunken uncle everyone else wishes would stay home...[he] is repulsive, granted, but there aren't nearly enough of him to start a purge trial."[1] (http://slate.msn.com/id/3654/entry/23930)
Carlson also has said that he is not "particularly anti-[illegal]drug," and that, while he reluctantly supported the Iraq War at the outset, he reversed his position after traveling to Baghdad to report for Esquire. Upon his return, he expressed his disgust with the war and his shame with himself for supporting it earlier. "I think it's a total nightmare and disaster, and I'm ashamed that I went against my own instincts in supporting it," he said. "I want things to work out, but I'm enraged by it, actually."
[edit]
Criticism
Tucker receives similar criticism from conservatives that Alan Colmes receives from liberals. Tucker is also viewed as milquetoast, a weak ineffective counter to his show's liberal counterparts. He's also critized as boring, having no inside information or intellectual rigor.
Critics point to his lack of response to Jon Stewart's attack (see below) as evidence of his inability to effectively argue. Additional criticism was bestowed on him when he incorrectly predicted in the Washington Post, a Kerry victory in the 2004 President Election.
[edit]
Notable Crossfire moments
In July 2003, after Senator Hillary Clinton's book Living History was published, Carlson doubted the potential popularity of the book and declared during a broadcast that if it sold more than one million copies he "Will in fact eat my shoes because I'm a man of my word." When her book eventually passed the millionth copy sales mark, Clinton made a surprise appearance on the show in which she brought Carlson a chocolate cake designed like a shoe.
In October, 2004, Carlson and liberal co-host Paul Begala were engaged in an unusually confrontational episode of Crossfire with comedian and television talk show host Jon Stewart of The Daily Show, which was widely circulated through the Internet and commented on throughout the media. Although Stewart was ostensibly scheduled to promote his best-selling comedy book, America: A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction, Stewart spent the entire episode seriously criticizing the premise of shows such as Crossfire, arguing that they are "hurting America." In a memorable verbal exchange of that episode, after instructing Stewart to "be funny," Carlson remarked:
"I do think you're more fun on your show."
to which Stewart responded:
"You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show."
For his part, Carlson said after the broadcast and during the ensuing media frenzy that while he agreed with some of Stewart's comments, Stewart is "the most sanctimonious comedian I've ever met," and that Stewart "needs to recognize where Crossfire is on the media food chain."
Carlson's last day on Crossfire was January 6, 2005. CNN CEO Jonathan Klein commented to the Associated Press, "I guess I come down more firmly in the Jon Stewart camp." It has been speculated that the Stewart episode was important in his decision to cancel the show and to not renew Carlson's contract, but Klein has said that decision was actually made six months earlier, in April. It also has been speculated that Carlson failed to meet CNN's ratings expectations when he guest-hosted NewsNight with Aaron Brown for a week towards the end of his contract.
Number 2. Ann Hart Coulter (born in New Canaan, Connecticut, December 8, 1961) is a controversial bestselling conservative American author and constitutional attorney.
She is a commentator with a reputation for strong criticism of social and political liberalism. Her comments and writing tend to be provocative and attract much controversy.
Coulter is the author of four political commentary books, all of which have been on the New York Times bestseller list:
High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton (1998)
Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right (2002)
Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism (2003)
How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) (2004)
Coulter is also a legal correspondent for the magazine Human Events. She writes a syndicated column for Universal Press Syndicate which is carried by or linked to by many influential conservative websites, including Frontpagemag.com.
Coulter was the subject of a TIME magazine cover story in April 2005, and has made frequent guest appearances on national television and syndicated radio programs. She has appeared on a large number of topical talk shows, including Hannity and Colmes, The O'Reilly Factor, American Morning with Paula Zahn, Crossfire, The Today Show, Real Time with Bill Maher and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. She is also a public speaker
Number 1 Jerry Fallwell & Tom DeLay its hard to chose they are both two good to be number one so its a tie. Jerry Falwell,The Anti-Defamation League and its leader Abraham Foxman have expressed strong support for Jerry Falwell and his staunch pro-Israel stand, referred to sometimes as "Christian Zionism." Falwell has repeatedly denounced public schools and secular education in general, calling them breeding grounds for atheism, secularism, and humanism, which he claims are in contradiction with Christian morality. He advocates that the United States abolish its public education system, replacing it with a school voucher system that allows parents to send their children to either public or private schools. Jerry Falwell wrote in America Can Be Saved that "I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them." [5] (http://atheism.about.com/library/glossary/western/bldef_falwelljerry.htm)
Falwell supported President Bush's Faith Based Initiative, but had strong reservations concerning where the funding would go and the restrictions placed on churches. "My problem is where it might go under his successors... I would not want to put any of the Jerry Falwell Ministries in a position where we might be subservient to a future Bill Clinton, God forbid... It also concerns me that once the pork barrel is filled, suddenly the Church of Scientology, the Jehovah Witnesses, the various and many denominations and religious groups--and I don’t say those words in a pejorative way--begin applying for money--and I don’t see how any can be turned down because of their radical and unpopular views. I don’t know where that would take us." [6] (http://www.beliefnet.com/story/70/story_7040_1.html)In February of 1999, an article in Falwell's National Liberty Journal suggested that a Teletubbies character, Tinky Winky, could be a hidden homosexual symbol, because the character was purple (which he claimed was a color symbolic of homosexuality), had a triangle on his head and carried a handbag.
Tom Delay
After serving as Whip for eight years, DeLay was elected Majority Leader upon the retirement of Dick Armey in 2002. His tenure as Majority Leader has been marked by strong Republican party discipline in close votes, and the use of parliamentary political techniques to preserve his party's control of the House. DeLay has also been known to "primary" Republicans who resist his votes (threatening to endorse and support a Republican primary challenge to the disobedient Representative), and, like many of his predecessors in Congress, uses promises of future committee chairmanships to bargain for support among the rank and file members of the party.
Employing a method known as "catch and release," DeLay has allowed centrist or moderate conservative Republicans to take turns voting against controversial bills. If a Congressman says a bill is unpopular in his district, DeLay will only make him vote for it if his vote is necessary for passage; if his vote is not needed, he or she will be allowed to vote against the party without reprisal. In the 108th Congress, a preliminary Medicare vote passed 216-215, a vote on Head Start passed 217-216, a vote on school vouchers for Washington, DC passed 209-208, and "Fast track," aka "trade promotion authority," passed by one vote as well. Some see these close votes as indicative of DeLay's strategy to enable the minimum number of Republicans to vote in favor of these bills. Both political supporters and opponents have remarked on DeLay's ability to sway the votes of his party. DeLay is also noted for involving lobbyists in the process of passing House bills. Molly Ivins and Lou Dubose, authors of Bushwhacked: Life in George W. Bush's America and Shrub: The Short But Happy Political Life of George W. Bush also authored a critical biography of DeLay which quotes a lobbyist as saying, "I've had members pull me aside and ask me to talk to another member of Congress about a bill or amendment, but I've never been asked to work on a bill - at least like they are asking us to whip bills now." (The Hammer, 93) Like many successful incumbents, DeLay's ability to raise money gives him additional influence. Two-thirds of the way through the 2004 election cycle, DeLay raised $2.28 million compared to Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert's $1.68 million. Partly as a result of Tom DeLay's management abilities, the House Republican caucus under him has displayed unprecedented, sustained party cohesion. In 2001 DeLay defied the president when he refused to extend Bush's tax cuts to people making between $10,500 and $26,625 a year; when reporters asked DeLay about what he would do about the low-income tax cuts DeLay simply stated it "ain't going to happen." When Ari Fleischer reiterated the president's desire for a low-income tax cut, DeLay retorted "the last time I checked they [the executive branch] don't have a vote." [3] (http://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/11/politics/11BUSH.html?ex=1114142400&en=83615c7410ce8b25&ei=5070&pagewanted=all&position=) DeLay even defied Bush on the badly wanted energy bill. DeLay refused to support a version of the energy bill that did not retroactively protect the makers of the gasoline additive MTBE from lawsuits. (Ibid) On economic policy, DeLay is rated a 95 out of 100 by the anti-tax Americans for Tax Reform, and 95 to 100 by the United States Chamber of Commerce, a business lobby. On environmental policy, he earned ratings of 0 from the Sierra Club and League of Conservation Voters. He has been a fervent critic of the EPA, which he has called the "Gestapo of government"[4] (http://www.cnn.com/EARTH/9512/congress_enviro/). DeLay has also sided with business owners over labor unions and is against gun control. DeLay blames Senate Democrats and what he dubbed "BANANA (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything) environmentalists" for blocking legislative solutions to problems such as the 2003 North America blackout. [5] (http://www.washtimes.com/national/20030818-122326-3716r.htm) His Christian conservative viewpoint led him to vote 100% in line with the views of the National Right-to-Life Committee and 0% with the National Abortion Reproductive Rights Action League. In foreign policy, DeLay has been a strong supporter of the State of Israel, saying, "The Republican leadership, especially that leadership in the House, has made pro-Israel policy a fundamental component of our foreign policy agenda and it drives the Democrat leadership crazy--because they just can't figure out why we do it!" [6] (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5822374/) On a 2003 trip to Israel, DeLay toured the nation and addressed members of the Knesset. His opposition to land concessions is so strong that the right-wing National Union Party deputy Aryeh Eldad remarked, "as I shook his hand, I told Tom DeLay that until I heard him speak, I thought I was farthest to the right in the Knesset." [7] (http://archives.lists.indymedia.org/imc-houston/2003-July/007223.html) Former Mossad chief Danny Yatom said "The Likud is nothing compared to this guy." (The Hammer, 236)

Controversies and accusations
[edit]
DeLay and Terri Schiavo
DeLay also made headlines for his role in the Terri Schiavo controversy. On Palm Sunday weekend in March 2005, several days after the brain-damaged Florida woman's feeding tube was disconnected for the third time, DeLay and other House Republicans met in emergency session to pass a bill allowing Schiavo's parents to petition the removal of the feeding tube to a federal judge. DeLay called the removal of the feeding tube "an act of barbarism." He also said, in reference to the Supreme Court judges who had refused to hear the case when Schiavo's parents appealed the tube removal, that "there will come a time for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior." DeLay publicly apologized for the remark after being accused of threatening the Supreme Court. DeLay also faced charges of hypocrisy from his critics when the Los Angeles Times revealed that he had consented to ending the life support for his own father, who was in a comatose state because of a debilitating accident in 1988.

So this is just a few of the top 5 major pain or thorns on my side in the right that I can do with out. I hope that I can think of others but for now I have to get ready.
Conservatives Beware I have a list of the major jerks and morons an idiots that I really can't stand. They drive me completely nuts and even on my meds they make me want to slip back into psychosis and scream on top of my lungs. These are the top 5 major conservative windbags and assholes or dumbasses that I can live without.
Top 5 Assholes of my list of Major Public jerks that people can get rid of by ignoring them.
ASSHOLE NUMBER 5.Fred Phelps (born November 13, 1929) is the controversial leader of the Westboro Baptist Church, an alleged cult, in Topeka, Kansas, United States, which is notorious for its web sites godhatesfags.com and godhatesamerica.com. Gay rights activists, as well both mainstream and fundamentalist Christians, have denounced him as a producer of anti-gay propaganda and violence-inspiring hate speech. The church is located in the basement of his home, which is the center of a block-wide fenced compound, the other houses in which are occupied by nine of his thirteen children.
In 1994, a reporter working for Stauffer Communications, Inc., filed a lawsuit about ownership of a book he had been researching for them, which details the life and activities of Phelps. Because the text of the book was entered as Exhibit A, the text entered into public domain. A link to one source of the text of this book is included below.
The distributed text describes Phelps as a ferocious child-abuser and wife-beater and proposes that he was instrumental in the death of his eldest son's first wife. Most of these claims are endorsed by two of Phelps' sons and one of his daughters, but are denied by their other siblings, who are not estranged from Phelps.
More recently, Phelps was the subject of nationwide controversy when his family proposed, in a referendum, the removal of workplace protection for homosexuals in Topeka. The measure was defeated, 53 percent to 47 percent. Also in 2005, Phelps's granddaughter, Jael, was an unsuccessful candidate for Topeka's City Council
Number 4. William James "Bill" O'Reilly, Jr. (born September 10, 1949) is the host of a popular American cable television opinion program, The O'Reilly Factor on the FOX News Channel. O'Reilly also hosts a radio program syndicated by Westwood One called The Radio Factor and has authored five best-selling books, one of which is a novel. Recently, he has voiced concern about what he sees as the harmful influence of gangsta rap on children, the high level of mismanagement of charity funds for September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks victims and the liberal bias of The New York Times along with many other mainstream media outlets.
Traditionally conservative views
Supports harsher prosecution for hard drug dealers
Supports strict enforcement of immigration law by placing the National Guard on the U.S.-Mexico border
Feels that the mainstream media (such as network news, The New York Times and The Washington Post) has an extreme secular and liberal bias and is intent on undermining the authority of the Bush administration as well as the U.S. military.
Supports 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq, while skeptical of the Bush Administration's handling of the occupation and lack of WMD evidence
Opposes the ACLU and frequently criticizes the organization in broadcasts
Supports subjecting violent criminals "to life in prison without parole in a federal work camp [...] in effect a gulag [...] to labor eight hours a day, six days a week in the harsh climate," because he believes that the death penalty is not harsh enough punishment [11] (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=23246)
Supports prohibition of late-term abortion
Believes that the Democratic Party has been hijacked by a far-left, secular-progressive agenda.
Opposes court decisions holding that people have the right to enter into same-sex marriages, and has called the issue "crazy gay marriage insanity" [12] (http://mediamatters.org/items/200504150005)
Believes gays and lesbians should stay closeted about their sexual orientation, especially those in position to influence children, though he says that he does not feel there is anything wrong with them as individuals.
Opposes publicly funded medicine beyond what he considers a necessary "safety net"
Opposes federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, though believes research done in the private sector could be "promising"
Supports what he calls "coerced interrogation," at Guantanamo Bay, which he agrees some people would characterize "torture," as he believes it saves the lives of others [13] (http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/06/18.html#a3501)
Opposes public secularization.
Feels that Intelligent Design, a controversial offshoot of religious creationism, deserves at least a minor place in public education.
Has called on prosecutors to seek the death penalty for a suspected killer [14
Number 3. Tucker Carlson: The Bowtie Nazi Douche bag on CNN Crossfire. Carlson has stated that while he votes, and cares deeply about conservative ideas, he does not care about the success or failure of any political party. This partisan ambivalence has been a cause of friction between him and Republican political figures and movement conservatives. In 1999, during the 2000 Republican Presidential primary race, Carlson interviewed then-Governor George W. Bush for Talk Magazine. Carlson reported that Bush mocked soon-to-be-executed Texas death-row inmate Karla Faye Tucker and "cursed like a sailor." Bush's communications director Karen Hughes publicly disputed this claim.
While vocalizing conservative views, Carlson has not hesitated periodically to level criticism at fellow conservatives. Carlson has been a harsh critic of conservative activist Grover Norquist, for instance, calling Norquist a "mean-spirited, humorless, dishonest little creep ... an embarrassing anomaly, the leering, drunken uncle everyone else wishes would stay home...[he] is repulsive, granted, but there aren't nearly enough of him to start a purge trial."[1] (http://slate.msn.com/id/3654/entry/23930)
Carlson also has said that he is not "particularly anti-[illegal]drug," and that, while he reluctantly supported the Iraq War at the outset, he reversed his position after traveling to Baghdad to report for Esquire. Upon his return, he expressed his disgust with the war and his shame with himself for supporting it earlier. "I think it's a total nightmare and disaster, and I'm ashamed that I went against my own instincts in supporting it," he said. "I want things to work out, but I'm enraged by it, actually."
[edit]
Criticism
Tucker receives similar criticism from conservatives that Alan Colmes receives from liberals. Tucker is also viewed as milquetoast, a weak ineffective counter to his show's liberal counterparts. He's also critized as boring, having no inside information or intellectual rigor.
Critics point to his lack of response to Jon Stewart's attack (see below) as evidence of his inability to effectively argue. Additional criticism was bestowed on him when he incorrectly predicted in the Washington Post, a Kerry victory in the 2004 President Election.
[edit]
Notable Crossfire moments
In July 2003, after Senator Hillary Clinton's book Living History was published, Carlson doubted the potential popularity of the book and declared during a broadcast that if it sold more than one million copies he "Will in fact eat my shoes because I'm a man of my word." When her book eventually passed the millionth copy sales mark, Clinton made a surprise appearance on the show in which she brought Carlson a chocolate cake designed like a shoe.
In October, 2004, Carlson and liberal co-host Paul Begala were engaged in an unusually confrontational episode of Crossfire with comedian and television talk show host Jon Stewart of The Daily Show, which was widely circulated through the Internet and commented on throughout the media. Although Stewart was ostensibly scheduled to promote his best-selling comedy book, America: A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction, Stewart spent the entire episode seriously criticizing the premise of shows such as Crossfire, arguing that they are "hurting America." In a memorable verbal exchange of that episode, after instructing Stewart to "be funny," Carlson remarked:
"I do think you're more fun on your show."
to which Stewart responded:
"You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show."
For his part, Carlson said after the broadcast and during the ensuing media frenzy that while he agreed with some of Stewart's comments, Stewart is "the most sanctimonious comedian I've ever met," and that Stewart "needs to recognize where Crossfire is on the media food chain."
Carlson's last day on Crossfire was January 6, 2005. CNN CEO Jonathan Klein commented to the Associated Press, "I guess I come down more firmly in the Jon Stewart camp." It has been speculated that the Stewart episode was important in his decision to cancel the show and to not renew Carlson's contract, but Klein has said that decision was actually made six months earlier, in April. It also has been speculated that Carlson failed to meet CNN's ratings expectations when he guest-hosted NewsNight with Aaron Brown for a week towards the end of his contract.
Number 2. Ann Hart Coulter (born in New Canaan, Connecticut, December 8, 1961) is a controversial bestselling conservative American author and constitutional attorney.
She is a commentator with a reputation for strong criticism of social and political liberalism. Her comments and writing tend to be provocative and attract much controversy.
Coulter is the author of four political commentary books, all of which have been on the New York Times bestseller list:
High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton (1998)
Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right (2002)
Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism (2003)
How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) (2004)
Coulter is also a legal correspondent for the magazine Human Events. She writes a syndicated column for Universal Press Syndicate which is carried by or linked to by many influential conservative websites, including Frontpagemag.com.
Coulter was the subject of a TIME magazine cover story in April 2005, and has made frequent guest appearances on national television and syndicated radio programs. She has appeared on a large number of topical talk shows, including Hannity and Colmes, The O'Reilly Factor, American Morning with Paula Zahn, Crossfire, The Today Show, Real Time with Bill Maher and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. She is also a public speaker
Number 1 Jerry Fallwell & Tom DeLay its hard to chose they are both two good to be number one so its a tie. Jerry Falwell,The Anti-Defamation League and its leader Abraham Foxman have expressed strong support for Jerry Falwell and his staunch pro-Israel stand, referred to sometimes as "Christian Zionism." Falwell has repeatedly denounced public schools and secular education in general, calling them breeding grounds for atheism, secularism, and humanism, which he claims are in contradiction with Christian morality. He advocates that the United States abolish its public education system, replacing it with a school voucher system that allows parents to send their children to either public or private schools. Jerry Falwell wrote in America Can Be Saved that "I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them." [5] (http://atheism.about.com/library/glossary/western/bldef_falwelljerry.htm)
Falwell supported President Bush's Faith Based Initiative, but had strong reservations concerning where the funding would go and the restrictions placed on churches. "My problem is where it might go under his successors... I would not want to put any of the Jerry Falwell Ministries in a position where we might be subservient to a future Bill Clinton, God forbid... It also concerns me that once the pork barrel is filled, suddenly the Church of Scientology, the Jehovah Witnesses, the various and many denominations and religious groups--and I don’t say those words in a pejorative way--begin applying for money--and I don’t see how any can be turned down because of their radical and unpopular views. I don’t know where that would take us." [6] (http://www.beliefnet.com/story/70/story_7040_1.html)In February of 1999, an article in Falwell's National Liberty Journal suggested that a Teletubbies character, Tinky Winky, could be a hidden homosexual symbol, because the character was purple (which he claimed was a color symbolic of homosexuality), had a triangle on his head and carried a handbag.
Tom Delay
After serving as Whip for eight years, DeLay was elected Majority Leader upon the retirement of Dick Armey in 2002. His tenure as Majority Leader has been marked by strong Republican party discipline in close votes, and the use of parliamentary political techniques to preserve his party's control of the House. DeLay has also been known to "primary" Republicans who resist his votes (threatening to endorse and support a Republican primary challenge to the disobedient Representative), and, like many of his predecessors in Congress, uses promises of future committee chairmanships to bargain for support among the rank and file members of the party.
Employing a method known as "catch and release," DeLay has allowed centrist or moderate conservative Republicans to take turns voting against controversial bills. If a Congressman says a bill is unpopular in his district, DeLay will only make him vote for it if his vote is necessary for passage; if his vote is not needed, he or she will be allowed to vote against the party without reprisal. In the 108th Congress, a preliminary Medicare vote passed 216-215, a vote on Head Start passed 217-216, a vote on school vouchers for Washington, DC passed 209-208, and "Fast track," aka "trade promotion authority," passed by one vote as well. Some see these close votes as indicative of DeLay's strategy to enable the minimum number of Republicans to vote in favor of these bills. Both political supporters and opponents have remarked on DeLay's ability to sway the votes of his party. DeLay is also noted for involving lobbyists in the process of passing House bills. Molly Ivins and Lou Dubose, authors of Bushwhacked: Life in George W. Bush's America and Shrub: The Short But Happy Political Life of George W. Bush also authored a critical biography of DeLay which quotes a lobbyist as saying, "I've had members pull me aside and ask me to talk to another member of Congress about a bill or amendment, but I've never been asked to work on a bill - at least like they are asking us to whip bills now." (The Hammer, 93) Like many successful incumbents, DeLay's ability to raise money gives him additional influence. Two-thirds of the way through the 2004 election cycle, DeLay raised $2.28 million compared to Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert's $1.68 million. Partly as a result of Tom DeLay's management abilities, the House Republican caucus under him has displayed unprecedented, sustained party cohesion. In 2001 DeLay defied the president when he refused to extend Bush's tax cuts to people making between $10,500 and $26,625 a year; when reporters asked DeLay about what he would do about the low-income tax cuts DeLay simply stated it "ain't going to happen." When Ari Fleischer reiterated the president's desire for a low-income tax cut, DeLay retorted "the last time I checked they [the executive branch] don't have a vote." [3] (http://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/11/politics/11BUSH.html?ex=1114142400&en=83615c7410ce8b25&ei=5070&pagewanted=all&position=) DeLay even defied Bush on the badly wanted energy bill. DeLay refused to support a version of the energy bill that did not retroactively protect the makers of the gasoline additive MTBE from lawsuits. (Ibid) On economic policy, DeLay is rated a 95 out of 100 by the anti-tax Americans for Tax Reform, and 95 to 100 by the United States Chamber of Commerce, a business lobby. On environmental policy, he earned ratings of 0 from the Sierra Club and League of Conservation Voters. He has been a fervent critic of the EPA, which he has called the "Gestapo of government"[4] (http://www.cnn.com/EARTH/9512/congress_enviro/). DeLay has also sided with business owners over labor unions and is against gun control. DeLay blames Senate Democrats and what he dubbed "BANANA (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything) environmentalists" for blocking legislative solutions to problems such as the 2003 North America blackout. [5] (http://www.washtimes.com/national/20030818-122326-3716r.htm) His Christian conservative viewpoint led him to vote 100% in line with the views of the National Right-to-Life Committee and 0% with the National Abortion Reproductive Rights Action League. In foreign policy, DeLay has been a strong supporter of the State of Israel, saying, "The Republican leadership, especially that leadership in the House, has made pro-Israel policy a fundamental component of our foreign policy agenda and it drives the Democrat leadership crazy--because they just can't figure out why we do it!" [6] (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5822374/) On a 2003 trip to Israel, DeLay toured the nation and addressed members of the Knesset. His opposition to land concessions is so strong that the right-wing National Union Party deputy Aryeh Eldad remarked, "as I shook his hand, I told Tom DeLay that until I heard him speak, I thought I was farthest to the right in the Knesset." [7] (http://archives.lists.indymedia.org/imc-houston/2003-July/007223.html) Former Mossad chief Danny Yatom said "The Likud is nothing compared to this guy." (The Hammer, 236)

So this is just a few of the top 5 major pain or thorns on my side in the right that I can do with out. I hope that I can think of others but for now I have to get ready.
My alergies are kicking my butt & and a rant of Helios 411 Westhiemer
I hate alergies. I think they are the worse plague man has endured through the ages. I mean why did God create them. Right now my entire nose feels like its running quicker and faster than the Colorado River. I know a lot of people are alergic to a lot of stuff, dust, sun, pollen,weeds and mold. I am just alergic to everything when the summer time comes around. I remember when I was at St. Pauls I rarely had alergy fits. But now that I am back in Houston it happens more often. I think my alergies are driving me nuts. They keep on advertising medicines that are suppose to help but I don't think most of them work. Cause well, I still have my alergies and they tend to fight back with a vengence.
I am going to figure it out, eventually I will find a cure to attack all those pesky alergic bugs.
OK ENOUGH ABOUT ALERGIES.
LAST NIGHT WAS TRUELY A TERRIBLE NIGHT! YES I know i was typing in all caps. Last night I went back even though part of me wanted to go, I had to put up with terrible poetry and terrible bartendingship. I went with Andrew to Helios. The bar was a total disappointment, and let alone a total let down. First the bartender didn't use any of her glassware to serve drinks and served alcohol in plastic cups. Sure if you are pouring cheap beer like Shiner you can do that, but if you are ordering a Tquillia Sunrise, use a freaking glass. Or when you are pouring a Harp or Bass you should use a glass. A good Harp is better served with a glass not plastic. Plus the bartender didn't know how to make simple drinks and I seemed to be running the bar as if it was my own. I could of done it myself.
What totally frustrated me, is the prices are so outrageous at that hell hole, I felt like either you would walk in being ripped off or welcomed and I felt neither. I waited in line to read and out of the clear blue Mr David Lejueune is reading before me so he could go to bed. Well so of course I politely waited again but here is what I found upsetting,he was still there when it was my turn to read. I mean I was the second to last one to read and it was 10:30 and he said he was going to bed. Go figure. Well I am sorry, David is a good friend but cutting in line so you can go to bed and then staying for the set is just rude. I figured I could come up with the same line. I have to take my medicine so I want to be up next. That means I can take my medicine whenever and then wait and fart around.
Oh well I am sorry poets at the place aren't the same any more. They have lost all aspects of why the place seems cool anymore. Its like the place has been and even when I was in psychosis thinking the place was cool but its a dump its a real shit hole. I remember when they had cool bartenders and even cooler host. But now the hosts are lame and the bartenders don't know there own drinks. Its just sad. For crying out loud Mariana, (owner) you have let the place gone down hill. I am thinking if I was a regular again, I would demand changes and I would see that there were changes in bringing the place as cool as it once was. Maybe I have been medicated to think that the place is different but it hurts me so much to see a place gone to waste. I know now why I haven't gone back, I know it wasn't just because of the heavy pot or the wasted teenagers, but it was because the place was wasted place or time. No one cool ever goes there any more. Helios or Mauselium has truely been an angry place for me. Bring back cool bartenders, great shows great poets even outrageous things but now the place is a place for the leftist elitist. I know that sounds like a contractidiction but damn this place has truely been a place where people can't even think or express there own moral thoughts any more without worrying about bein censored. Angry of the place! Yes I have loved a place that is no longer in my heart. My heart has been torn because people don't know how to run the place any more. What brings me back,is slowly making me want to stay home and watch t.v. or go to another dive. This place is not a home as it used to be. Its a sad sad place. Delusioned by the thoughts that poets once stood to bring there rights of expressionism.The thoughts that teenagers eager for there first beer, are now dashed into self loathing. Now we are left with pompus elitism who think poetry is just for cool people. Whatever happend to our poets, what ever happend to our bartenders, what ever happend to our host. What ever happend to our barbacks who were sarcastic with one another. The whole place has changed. From good to worse.
