The Beast

Once a year, The Beast out of Buffalo throws up their 50 Most Loathesome People in America, and it's always well worth a read. You can check it out, here. I always pick through a few people I want to read about, and then I find it's so good I read the whole thing.

Courtesy of Ian Murphy, this is the best illustration of Rudi Guiliani I've ever seen:




Rudy! winds up being #6 on the Loathesome list, and here's what they had to say about him:

Charges: 9/11 Tourette's syndrome, compounded by compulsive lying. Despite the '93 WTC bombing, didn't act to put all first responders on the same radio frequency and chose to house his Emergency Command Center on the 23rd floor of WTC 7. Giuliani Partners consulting firm routinely did business with a Qatar ministry run by royal Abdallah bin Khalid al-Thani, a man whose farm has seen guests the likes of Khalid Sheikh Muhammad and Osama bin Laden. Wooed mistress and future wife with an NYPD chauffeur and trips to Southampton on NYC taxpayers' dime. Ruined the prospect of a Times Square tug-job.

Exhibit A: Stages phone calls from his wife during campaign stops-to show 'em he's got family values. Family values apparently do not include rudimentary put-it-on-vibrate cell phone etiquette. Invoked 9/11 to explain this.

Sentence: Victim of the next 9/11, which consists of two radio-controlled hobby planes smashing into his face.

Of course, we won't have Rudy! to kick around any more...
