Anyone want to play along? Nominations can be local or famous. Please include a short explanation of what they did that warrants their inclusion in the list. Submit just one name or enter an entire top 10 list. I don't see us actually narrowing things down to a final top 10 given how crowded the field is and how many deserving recipients there must be.

I believe Andy had someone in mind to get the ball rolling...

George W Bush : Not so much evil, as unforgiveably stupid.

Is it customery to have a Tom_O_Bedlam comment between EVERY SINGLE POST now?

why wasn't I notified?

Dad was flammable

Yeah, I nominated Shaun Woodward, but I was being a little frivolous. He's not so much evil as unbelievably cynical and contemptuous, I guess. He's a millionaire who used to be a Conservative MP, until just before the last election he crossed the floor to Labour, because of the latter's dominance of Parliament. Wanted to be on the winning side, basically. Labour chose a safe, deprived constituency (which he'd never deigned to visit beforehand) and, in a very democratic move, kicked out any long-serving candidates who may have defeated him. He was predictably returned with a clear majority by the constituency's electorate. Hence the (not very funny) joke:

How do you get an ex-Tory with a butler elected to parliament for working class St Helens?
Stand for New Labour!

But I'm sure I can do a lot better than that. George W doesn't deserve it either. I don't think he's evil, but he's being manipulated by people who might be so-described. I'll put my thinking cap on.

Hit morons.org. Lotsa fodder there.

And personally, I'd hafta say that wossname US Secretary of Defense (I THINK it's him...) is being a major tight-ass, even at the possible expense of those neat things we Americans have that we call civil liberties. Next thing I know, I'll be bum-raped by Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, the both of them wearing John 3:16 cockrings and humming "Nearer, My God, To Thee".

Sorry, just had to rant.

How about...

George W. Bush for shooting the Kyoto envirnmental treaty in the head?

Or maybe...

George W. Bush, for initiating a "war" on a third-world country, supposedly to catch one man, despite admitting many times that bin Laden was never a bombing target?

Or maybe...

George W. Bush, for hiding like a rabbit when he should have been visibly leading his nation during a terrifying time?

I could go on.

John Presscott hit someone, so I guess that counts.

I am not 16 going on not 17, I know that I'm naive.

But the person he punched was a Welsh farmer with a mullet. Which should make ol' 'Two Jabs' Prescott a hero, in my opinion.

I REALLY want to name all the republicans, but to be fair I'll say Senator Tom Daschle for exempting a mining company in his state from laws regarding the poison the pumped into their workers and environment.

Bitching about politicians is fun. They're all scum, anyway.

Yeah. The guy he punched deserved it. Two Jags is still a fat waste of space, though.

Well, I can't really disagree with you there. Blair must have a better sense of humour than he's credited with, having that lump as his deputy.

How 'bout Canadian politicians? About a month ago Albertas premiere ralph klein got drunk and told a bunch of homeless guys to get a job. We can't even understand our prime minister, who says things like "Elth Plan" (health plan) and "Avv"(have), and I forget who it was, but some Canadian politic guy pretty much flipped western canada "the bird", and last, Stockwell Day had the tax dollars pey for his $80,000 Court Case. Sheesh.

Did you see Dubya suing for peace between the "Indians and Pakis"? Most amusing.

Explanations should go with these....

John Ashcroft--for ridding the American justice system of obsolete chestnuts such as due process and the Bill of Rights, in the name of "protecting" us.

Strom Thurmond--for not dying, and for having a 29-year-old son at age 98.

Willian Rehnquist--for forgetting that states' rights was a pet cause of the right, when he realized that holding to that cause might mean a Democrat in the White House.

Katherine Harris--for being a shrewish harpy and a shameless cheerleader for the right wing (because that's really all that conservative women know how to do, besides cook and make babies); the fact that she was a cog in W's election machine is gravy.

Jesse Helms, Trent Lott, Orrin Hatch--perennially evil. Though Helms did perhaps the only thing that might merit exclusion from this list by announcing his retirement.

Jeb Bush--W's brother and governor of Florida. W won Florida. Coincidence?
GW Bush--if you gotta ask, you're dumber than he is.

Ralph Nader--for fucking up the election just because he could, and because I thought it would be funny to list a knee-jerk lefty among all these conservatives.

You forgot VP puppet-master and cyborg Cheney. Oh... ran out of space? Well, he's got his hand so far up GW's ass you could count them as one.

Oh, forgot about Australia's darling Prime Minister, little Johnny Howard. The main thing he did to piss me off this year was getting re-elected. I hate that! Otherwise...

- He used the WTC attacks for his own political advantage, travelling over to the US to climb up GWB's arse (obviously Dick Cheney had to shift his arm to accommodate him) and posing for photo after photo after photo. You Americans might not know who he is, but you would have seen him - for a couple of weeks after the attacks he was the short, balding guy with big eyebrows, following GWB around like a stray dog. Before the US had announced any retaliatory action, little Johnny had said that he would support any and all actions the US decided to take. When that action inevitably turned out to be immoral and in violation of God knows how many treaties, he stuck with it.

- For a change, the right thing and what he did happened to coincide, and he would not let us forget it. Australia has a big problem with illegal immigrants from the Middle East, travelling to Indonesia, tossing all their ID, and hopping a rickety boat to Australia. Their missing ID makes it very hard to prove that they are wealthy Iranians and Pakistanis looking to jump the legal immigration queue by posing as genuinely asylum-needy Afghans. Anyway, little Johnny put his foot down and told them to piss off, as you no doubt heard. What you didn't hear about was the political mileage he got out of it - his whole re-election campaign was centred around how he could be trusted to make hard decisions when necessary. The slogan should have been, "Look! I can do the right thing occasionally!"

This is the same guy who introduced a GST (sales tax) even though he almost lost an election over the issue. After the election, in which 51% of the voting population voted for the other guy, but due to the arrangement of electorates his party managed to keep a majority of seats, he announced that the Australian people had given him a mandate to introduce the GST.

Hand the dumb fuck a dictionary, please.

Adding to the Canadian politicians list, I think Liberal MP Tom Wappel deserves a mention. Denying an 81-year-old blind veteran financial aid is evil, but writing him a sarcasm-filled letter that said he was doing so because the veteran didn't vote for him in the last election (ignoring the fact that it was a secret ballot and he shouldn't have had those records at all) is the kind of pull-your-heart-out-and-run-it-over-with-a-truck evil that most politicians can only aspire to.

And let us not forget Ronald Reagan. In 2001 just the thought of him kept so many of our elected officials such as Georgia's Bob Barr furiously masturbating, not only did they fail to get anything constructive done, their poor little peepees all got chafy and red.

Yeah, Congress was going to take away Metro's funding if we didn't stick Reagan's name on all our Metro signs. That made a shitload of sense.

What others say about boorite!

Not quite evil, but still very much like jerking your meat onto unwilling captives. And not in the fun, spanky way.
