I've divvied mine into categories, but hey, you call 'em as you see 'em!
Foreign: Bibi Netanyahu. (I know this hope is entirely in vain, but screw it!)
Domestic: Ted Cruz. (Even more hopeless, but it's New Year's Eve, FFS!)
News: Wolf Blitzer. (RETIRE ALREADY!)
Entertainment: Donald Trump. (He's been nothing more than a bad comedian for years now!)
Organizations: AIPAC. (Arrogant Israel-firsters Pushing America into Conflicts!)
Miscellaneous: Andrea Tantaros. (Bill Kristol in a skirt, and definitely not a News person!)
What say you?

(231 posts)You remember shortly after the OJ Simpson trial when CNN hired Marcia Clark (the prosecutor in the case) as their "legal correspondent?" At the time I thought--seriously? You're hiring the prosecutor who lost the OJ case as a legal expert?
I'm baffled that so many media outlets are now seeking out Dick Cheney for his opinion on how Obama is handling Iraq and Afghanistan. I mean, the architect of one of the most horrible policy blunders in American history as some kind of authority on foreign policy?

(63,221 posts)God, I am so tired of that family. I have never seen their show and I don't seek out news about them, but I feel like everywhere I turn they are in your face on magazines in checkout lines, in the news, etc. They are so useless, untalented and trashy. I wish they would just go away forever.

First they had Kim and Khloe, but now Kendall is "all grown up," if such words can truly be applied to ANY of these people!

GReedDiamond
(5,310 posts)...and I haven't seen that asshole mentioned by anyone else yet.
Justin Bieber would be on the list as well, but for entirely different reasons.
The Kardashians, The Bushes, The Palins and Darth Cheney (and his frightful daughter Liz) are welcome to dry up and blow away, as well.
Also, all, or at least most, "televangelists" should disappear.
And lastly, cuz he just popped into my head, Gene Simmons should STFU starting immediately, if not sooner.
On edit, I notice Ted the Ped - and animal murderer/really crappy guitarist - was already mentioned, rightfully so.

(21,046 posts)"WHY should I keep up with the Kardashians?"
Truer words were never spoken.
I will affirm all the above choices. And add "any politician with their head all up their own backside" as the British say.
This includes the whole congressional delegation from Texas, and the Goobernor, Rick Perry.

(3,275 posts)I can't avoid the famous people. I wish I didn't have to hear about any Kardashian, Miley Cyrus or Justin Bieber every again.
I also don't care a single bit about the British royal family. I'm sure that they are nice people but I really don't care about them.
