Current mood: annoyed
I am a fairly tolerant person. But there are a few things I just can't stand. Liars and hypocrites. That is why my next nominees for worst person in the world are on this list today.
At the bronze level, The New York Post, who is owned by Rupert Murdock who also owns Fox (Faux) News. Keith Olbermann, the host of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann, was recently the subject of a terrorist threat. Now the reason why noone knows about this is because the FBI and New York police department asked Keith, MSNBC and other news organizations not to say anything during the investigation. The New York Post decided that this was a perfect opportunity to throw a few zingers at Keith due to his sudden surge of popularity. They released the story in which it criticized Keith for supposively exaggerating the whole terrorist threat deal. The problem is, the New York Post has now compromised the FBI's investigation by releasing information to the public. Great job guys, whose side are you on?
At the silver level, President Bush, who during his speech on September 11, 2006 made a claim to bipartisanship and then a few days later equated the Democratic Party as the party of defeatists who will cut a run at the first sign of trouble. President Bush also said in a recent interview (I am paraphrasing this) that it is wrong for anyone to think that the war in Iraq is bad and that the United States has lost the moral high ground from our stance on torture.
Finally, we have Representative Foley of Florida, who recently helped pass laws against online pedophiles. I know, why does this make him bad you say? Because he has just resigned today over recently released emails showing him to be an online pedophile. Sick…
Representative Foley, today's Worst Person in the World!
