We once again present the annual Top Ten Worst Persons in the World, annual being a bit of a misnomer, as we did not publish this last year, although I am sure you can guess who the top ten worst persons would have been. We invite comment for your thoughts in that regard, as well as the list for this year. Once again, Cadet Bone Spurs did not make this list, as he could have taken up all ten spots and retired lists of this type permanently.
As always, there are honorable mentions, this year being Karen Fann, the president of the Arizona senate, who authorized the cadet bone spurs paid for Cyber Ninja audit of the presidential vote that ended up finding that Joe Biden won the state by more votes than originally announced, yet somehow still announced that the audit showed massive fraud, and Mark Meadows, who appears to have been one of the driving forces within the White House behind the January 6 events and cover up. His spine has been exposed, as he was willing to cooperate, until it looked like his information would indict his boss.
And with the preliminaries out of the way...
10. Boris Johnson -- Well, I said I wasn't going to put Cadet Bone Spurs on the list, but I didn't say anything about not putting his clown, er... clone on the list. We may begin calling this guy Cadet Bone Spurs, Jr. No mask mandates in Britain, No vaccine mandates. Brexit without a viable plan. Etc.
9. Eric Clapton -- Keeping the international flavor of this year's list, this one really hurts me. When I was a kid, I really loved this guy, and saw him in concert any number of times. Always a great show. His music is still great, but I won't listen to it anymore, now that he has demonstrated how he feels about Jews like me and sensible people who do sensible things to protect themselves and their friends and neighbors, like just about everyone... well, except for about a third of the population...
8. Prince Andrew -- The Brits must hate me by now. Here's a guy who has literally been handed everything in life, but still managed to drop it. Lots of guys have been implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell scandal, but at least the rest of them have managed to stay out of the spotlight. For not managing to keep his yap and his zipper shut... Cheers mate!
7. Mitch McConnell -- Well, he had to be here somewhere. I had thought that loyalty to country topped loyalty to party, but I guess I was wrong. This guy has enabled everything that has happened since January 20, 2017, and now openly says his job is to make sure nothing good happens during Joe Biden's presidency. He will allow the country to suffer just so he can be back in charge of the Senate, and the guy he blasted for January 6 back in the White House.
6. Joe Manchin -- Never before has such an inconsequential politician become such an omnipresent oaf. Somebody should buy this guy a very large mirror so he can admire himself all day long and leave the rest of us alone. Voting rights? Feh... Climate Change? Coal!! Public health? My daughter is a big pharma exec who skyrocketed the cost of critical medications. Without this guy, Mitch McConnell would have been an afterthought this year.
5. Ron DeSantis -- Also known in these parts as "I Wanna Be Cadet Bone Spurs". The Guv spent the year protecting the citizens of his state by refusing to make anyone wear a mask, refusing to make anyone get a vaccine, even health care workers, trying to punish companies, even private companies large or small, from imposing any health related mandates on their employees or customers, and then trying to reward the most irresponsible amongst us who refuse to do anything to help in the face of the pandemic
4. Matt Gaetz -- It was a real close call here between this guy and Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has demonstrated in a single year how singularly unfit she is for public office of any kind, including sanitation engineer; however, unlike Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene has not yet shown herself to potentially be a sex offender. We would expect sometime soon, Matt will be out of the House and into the Big House. In the mean time, Matt, you are still a member of Congress, so how about sponsoring a piece of legislation, any piece other than something designed as a piece of red meat to a bunch of toothless, brainless yayhoos that has no chance of becoming law and is simply a publicity stunt. You know, like maybe doing the job you were actually put in Washington to do...
3. Sean Hannity -- This was another real close call, as any number of Fox Cheerleading Network personalities could have qualified here, especially Tucker Carlson, who is well ahead in the early running to be on this list next year, if not win it outright. Sean Hannity gets the nod here, however, as it turns out he likely was in on January 6, or at least had a clue about what was coming, then after it got out of control, went on the air to denounce the violence, and the almost immediately tried to blame the left and was active on the air in downplaying everything that happened, giving, or at least trying to give, Cadet Bone Spurs cover.
2. Paul Gosar -- Aside from the fact that it appears he was one of the insiders to the January 6 insurrection, he published a cartoon depicting himself killing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a fellow sitting member of Congress, and attacking the president. In the past, this would have resulted in immediate criminal charges against just about anyone. How on earth do you threaten to kill a sitting member of Congress and attack and presumably threaten the life of the sitting President and get away with it, let alone still be a sitting member of Congress?
And this year's winner is...
1. Kevin McCarthy -- That's how. Then again, we could put here the entire congressional GOP caucus. We single out Kevin McCarthy here because he wants so badly to be the next speaker of the house that he will enable anything, and I mean ANYTHING, from his caucus. Kevin McCarthy began the year properly calling out Cadet Bone Spurs for his fomenting the insurrection, and then suddenly became the poster boy for the whole thing after a visit to you know who at his little palace in Florida. How much do you want to bet Cadet Bone Spurs told Kevin he would be speaker of the house if he backed off and the denied the former guy had anything to do with January 6, and that January 6, in any event, was not a big deal. For obsequiousness beyond the call of duty, Kevin, you are our winner this year. Congratulations.
Or should I say fuck you?
