Monday night's Worst Person In The World included Glenn Beck, who took the Bronze for his ultra-offensive statements about victims of the wildfires in southern California, the Silver went to Bill O'Reilly for his delusional claim that recent flare ups involving culture issues in America were somehow related to the release of his new rag for children and the Gold went to Tom Gross of the National Review Online for this belly laugher about George and Dick:
Gross: "They are super-mean about them now, but maybe, just maybe, one day peaceniks in America and Europe will recognize George W. Bush and Dick Cheney as the men who prevented World War Three. Surely then they would be deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize?"

I am actually the man who has prevented World War III. It hasn't happened yet, right?
I call bullshit on Gross. Those two bastards are the only ones talking about WW III. They want to start the damned thing and if they do, that could well be the end of recorded history and human life.
Keith got the order right almost, but I would put Glenn in second place.
Nobel Prizes never, wedgies and Indian burns maybe.
They'll be remembered for TRYING to start World War III, if they succeed there won't be any people left to remember them.
No, George W. Bush, America's Greatest Conservative President will
NEVER be awarded any Nobel Prize. To even imagine that he might shows the thought processes of a deluded and ignorant mind.
If such a person can even be considered to have what is generally denoted a 'mind'.
No matter how long 'Dumbya' survives he'll always know, way back in his bone-filled skull, that while he is generally considered the 'Worst President in American History'
Vice President Gore has been awarded:
An Emmy....
An Oscar...
The Nobel Peace Prize...
And as for this assclown?
I've shit him.
Hey Glenn,
Bush and Cheney will be waiting for you in hell. You're a pathetic human being. Why you're on the air is a mystery to everybody.
Please. If it turns out (ha!) that Bush and Cheney were responsible for deliberately preventing WWIII (or doing ANYTHING good for the world without being coerced), I will personally apologize to them (or their relatives, if they have died) for every super-mean thing I've ever said and volunteer to become their indentured servant.
The Billo nomination literally made me laugh out loud when I was watching last night. He thinks cultural/social issues are arising because his book is being released in paper back? Since the world was on hold until the paper back edition came out, and the hard cover POS wasn't good enough?
Sorry for the off topic but check this beautiful confrontation of anti-war/peace activist Vs that neo-con piece of scumbag trash Norman "Bomb Iran NOW" Podhoretz.

^ Fantastic!
I love you Keith!
Only in Republican-land would the people trying their hardest to START World War III be credited with preventing WWIII. Course, once it's over it can't happen again, so I suppose they will prevent WWIII by getting it over with...
Is Glenn Beck fired yet? This guy's a waste of carbon.
He shoulda been first since So. Calif. is still burning.
Will they also be credited for preventing a giant meteor from hitting earth and killing every living soul? So far so good if that's the job they're doing.

But, but, but O'Racist has super duper ratings!
"Gross: “They are super-mean about them now, but maybe, just maybe, one day peaceniks in America and Europe will recognize George W. Bush and Dick Cheney as the men who prevented World War Three. Surely then they would be deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize?“
Remember Bill Clinton? The Reich Wing wasn't exactly pleasant with the twice democratically elected, intelligent, world wide respected president who left this nation a legacy of peace and prosperity now were they? But for the Clown Chimp of Crawford who was selected by the 5 conservative activist judges on the supreme court who has run this nation into the ground, we should be nice?? No. Fucking. Way.
Only in Upside Down Conservative World would lying America into a war that has created more terrorists and shooting old lawyers in the face prevent World War Three. In the reality based world it's these lawless incompetent thugs who will start it.
Since herr dubyah is the only "person" who wants to start WWIII, if he doesn't start the damn thing does that really constitute "prevention"?
Every day I think the righties have stooped as low as possible then the next day they stoop lower
And Glenn Back should be inducted in the Hall of Scum. Why is that clown still employed?
They did nothing to prevent two planes from flying into the World Trade Center, but somehow they're going to prevent WWIII?
It reminds me of the idiot who predicted that a year after the invasion of Iraq, george bush would have a plaza or square named after him in his honor. Bwahahahahaha!
Conservatives. Always to the right, but always wrong.
Hahahahahahahah ....yea... When pigs fly...... Good one Tommyboy.... Wittiest jape of the season....hahahahahah JD
What's with the change in the visual part of the Worst person in the world segment?
I don't think they'll give the NPP to some nazis...I don't know...I just have a feelin.
The only thing I can think of to name after bush would be the extension of a military cemetery. That's his claim to infamy, the most soldiers killed on his watch than any other president's watch since Vietnam.
Dr. Matt @ 14:
super DUPER ratings..LOL...that was good Doc... thanks...I needed that.
[Hey lafin, as in lafin gas, knock it off-Sitemonitor]
don't you think that there is a possibility that these guys love being on this list and just get more and more ridiculous just to see who will get the gold from Olberman?
O'Reilly wrote a book???? I haven't heard anything about that. Of course I don't get a television feed and if I did I wouldn't watch Fox, but surely if someone as "popular" as O'Reilly wrote a book, I think I would have heard. Is it for sale, or just a free thingy like they hand out at shoney's for kids to color on while they wait for supper?
Gross: “They are super-mean about them now, but maybe, just maybe, one day peaceniks in America and Europe will recognize George W. Bush and Dick Cheney as the men who prevented World War Three. Surely then they would be deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize?“
Huh? Why would he want them to get a worthless trinket given by bloviaters to bloviaters????
When I was in college, my least favorite Political Science essay test question was the "counterfactual." Counterfactual questions prompted essays in the following manner:
I hated those questions. Political Science (a laughable term) questions rarely have "correct" answers, but at least there is some objective measurement of truth in a more straightforward question. Nothing even in principle could be deemed correct or incorrect about a counterfactual hypothesis. And indeed, the questions aren't designed even to measure whether you're guessing properly. They're designed to test your knowledge of what actually happened, so why not just ask that?
But I digress.
Aaaanyway.......you know that the maladministration's supporters have run out of arguments when they resort to the counterfactual. They resort to arguments that, in principle, cannot be disproved. They resort to a position of happy unfalsifiability.
No longer are they saying that Hussein was an imminent threat, or that he had WMD, or was even trying to get them. No longer are they saying that we invaded to bring democracy to the Middle East.
No. Now they resort to the counterfactual: Sure, maybe the invasion was illegal, and has resulted in the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocents. But, see, if we didn't do that, WWIII would have erupted! And I'll bet that when we're all dead and gone, people will answer their Political Science questions accordingly.

Good point.
This blog post is very interesting. Why History is Important
Super Mean guy that I am, I sent a letter to CNN about Becks "forest fire" comment. It may not be a lot, but I still think it's better than nothing. (We saw 7 years of that-- if you know what I mean.)
[Hmmm.. should I change my moniker to "Super Mean"???]
Karen @29: That's why I studied history. We wrote about what actually happened (to the best of our knowledge.)
Anyway, no matter what, I can see future "thinkers" (like even as early as tomorrow) claiming Bush prevented WWIII. Won't we all sleep better then??
It's funny how "no one" wants to respond to "hypotheticals", but they speak in them all the time.
Somewhat OT, but is anyone else having trouble with Olbermann's MSNBC website? I get to the site, but all the links are dead, at least for me
I call preventing World War 4! Has a nice ring to it, don't it?
In any event, I love the eerie and specious logic. It isn't simply that the end do justify the means, but that the ends will justify the means. Someday! Y-you'll see!
Billo is still bragging that his TV ratings beat CNN and MSNBC combined by over 1 million viewers. He keeps repeating his audience numbers as if it innoculates him against all criticism.
I love the wingnuts' theory that at some unknow and far-off point in the future, the Bush administration will somehow magically be viewed as successful. Through the magic of time, at long last they won't be viewed as the bumbling fools that they are today. As you all know, so many things from the past are so much more well liked today. The Soviet Union for example is very popular. Clogs are all the rage and the AIDS diet plan is finally viewed as a tremendous success.
This theory and the logic behind it can best be called "the shit loses its odor eventually" school of thought.
First off, I am amazed at the fact that either chimpy or the dick can even count to 3 except for the fact that the dick wouldnt be able to total up his "5" deferments otherwise. I say we use the tire around the neck filled with gasoline and ignited on these assholes.
Glenn Beck....the long-lost love child of Archie Bunker and Phyllis Schlafly?
"...his delusional claim that recent flare ups involving culture issues in America were somehow related to the release of his new rag for children..."
It wasn't the release of his new craptastic children's book that BOR was talking about. He was trying to tie the issues to the paperback release of his insipid "Culture Warrior" book.
"They are super-mean about them now, but maybe, just maybe, one day peaceniks in America and Europe will recognize George W. Bush and Dick Cheney as the men who prevented World War Three."
Using that same logic, perhaps former FEMA Director (and horse show judge) Michael "Drownie" Brown may someday be viewed as a stellar emergency services administrator? Hmmm, lemme try that... "Maybe, just maybe, one day peaceniks will recognize Drownie as the man who saved New Orleans." There! I wished it, therefore it's true! Yayy!! Yayyy for Drownie!!!
CD @ 21:
Actually, I was wondering about the change across the program.
I'm not sure I like it, but I'll admit that it may be because I'm used to the old graphics and news space.
Opinions?
I found a prize in a Cracker Jack box that George and Dick can share.
foolme1ns @ 27:
Depends on what you mean by "wrote" and "book."
Tom Gross and Glenn Beck need to switch places on that list.
What’s with the change in the visual part of the Worst person in the world segment?

MSNBC has just moved from their old studios in NJ. They are now in some fantastic new studios over at NBC in NYC and started airing from there on Monday. As part of their move to NYC for their upgraded new studios/equipment, they have changed the graphics on some shows. Countdown is one that has some changes (such as the worst person segment and the show's opening). I'm liking the new changes so far.
Are there any words in our dictionary that could describe these three better that ...worse....worser....& worst....if so, we should use them in place of the 3 w's.....is a**holes, pri*ks, basta*ds,
s o b's, in the dictionary.....I feel they're a better description.
WORST president and vice president in US history!!! History, if we have any, will see these men as the most evil men to ever hold office in the US. Why do they hate America???/
So three conservative guys are worse people than fascists who fly airplanes into buildings. Interesting world view.
Sadly, there is a 'truth' at the center of all of this that can only be protected by a 'body guard of lies' to wit: Fearless Run-around-Sooey and posse are engaged in a titanic struggle of will and they have only their wits, dim, dumb, fuck, half, and nit, to battle their arch-enemy, the Constitution.
This compilation of nonsense is one of the best ! When will you guys understand that Islam is a threat to the entire free world, worst than communism and nazism, and that anyone who stands strongly against Islam should deserve a Nobel price. Why try to feel guilty about what Muslims do to us ? Why put the blame on our leaders instead of THEIR leaders ? Bush worst that Kadhafi, Hassad, Ben Laden, Ahmadinedjad ?... Yes, and Truman and Roosevelt were worst than Hitler...
BuckFush! @ 8:
What will you do when Iran will have the A bomb and will be ready to drop it on our troops ?
Complain against whom then ? What will it take for you to recognize a threat when you face one ? What will you tell your children after Muslims will have invaded most of the free world from the inside while attacking it from the outside ? That you were " a pacifist " ? I call that being a treator to your country.
Beck is just one of those guys on tv without a white sheet on his head.
