Thoughts on the Most Annoying list... Joe Scarborough - Thanks to a surge in annoying votes for current MSNBC personnel over the weekend, Scarborough is the most annoying person of the week. I'm not sure what his voting record was like when he was in the House, but on his morning show, he comes off as being somewhat Libertarian leaning. In today's GOP climate, which favors the hardcore conservatives, I don't know if he'd get elected. Peter Coors - Ever since he lost his Senatorial bid, and the Coors Brewing Company was sold to Molson, he's stayed out of the public eye. Of course, it didn't help that he filmed all of those ads about drinking responsibly and then got busted with a DUI and had his driver's license revoked... Swift Boat Veterans For Truth - I'm glad to see them on the most annoying list, but, I wonder how many former Swift Boaters are currently Tea Partiers and/or birthers? Laura Schlessinger - The 'good doctor' seems to have lost some of her influence over the past couple of years. With the political focus shifting more and more to jobs and the economy, the moral police have kind of been pushed out of the picture for the time being. John Calvin - When Bart used to preach fire and brimstone at this forum, I asked him what his religious affiliation was (if he had any). He said he was a Calvinist. Based solely on that bit of information, Calvin is certainly deserving of his spot on the most annoying list. Ben Roethlisberger - One of the most annoying athletes in the NFL, who plays on one of the most annoying teams, which happens to have one of the most annoying fan bases in all of professional sports...perfect for the most annoying list. I'd like to see him serve his full suspension, but, I have a feeling the commisioner will reduce it. He needs to be taught a lesson. Whether he's bright enough to learn from that lesson remains to be seen. Mike Huckabee - The former Presidential hopeful is going for his own daily talk show, which would be broadcast on FOX affiliates across the country. A six-week preview is on the way, and if it does well, you might be able to watch Mike Huckabee on television every single weekday! Thoughts on the Least Annoying list... B.o.B - His song 'Airplanes,' with Hayley Williams of Paramore, is one of my favorite songs of the year. It's a got a great beat, a catchy hook and tells a relevant story. Eva Longoria-Parker - I'm happy to see her on the least annoying list and I'm interested to see how Vanessa Williams does on 'Desperate Housewives' this fall. Cyndi Lauper - I didn't catch many episodes of the 'Celebrity Apprentice,' but, I was surprised by how much rambling she did. This diva definitely has a neurotic edge! One of my favorite songs of hers, 'All Through The Night,' seems all-but-forgotten these days. At least 'Time After Time' remains a popular 'classic.' Bruce Springsteen - A few years ago, there were all of those rumors that the Boss had an affair on his wife, Patti. The rumors turned out to be false. It's frightening that in this internet age, rumors can spread so quickly, and people will believe them without doing any fact checking. There's also no accountability for those who anonymously start rumors over the internet. Nine Inch Nails - During the last voting cycle, Nine Inch Nails was one of the profiles which appeared on the least annoying rankings, and received such a huge surge of annoying votes, the profile ended up appearing on the most annoying list (we still don't know who's doing that or why). Danny Glover - It's interesting that of the 'Lethal Weapon' duo, Danny Glover seems mild mannered and un-controversial, compared to Mel Gibson. Glover used to take all kinds of heat for the things he would say, particularly about race. Susan Sarandon - She's been making the media rounds to promote some ping pong club she's involved with. I remember she played the evil witch (or whatever) in 'Enchanted,' but, it's been a long time since she had a quality role in a major movie. What happened? She's such a talented actress! Jon Tenney - 'The Closer' continues to be one of the best shows on television!
