How about some real reasons for those already on the list??


I'm thinking this was written with tongue firmly planted in cheek....

   



hwacker @ Thu Jul 14, 2005 6:18 pm

that’s a pretty complete list, but why isn't Avro on it.?

   



hwacker @ Thu Jul 14, 2005 6:58 pm

Can we put a dead guy on it. ?

If so PET needs to be #1, nobody can screw up a country like he did, NOBODY

Avro Avro:
$1:
The top 30 people who drive us nuts

By Lorrie Goldstein, Toronto Sun




Here's a neat idea I've shamelessly stolen from Bernard Goldberg, the Emmy-winning former CBS News correspondent who has built a second career writing bestsellers bashing the American left.

His first two books -- Bias and Arrogance -- were rants against what he describes as the liberal media.

Now he's come out with 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America (And Al Franken Is #37). In case you're wondering, Michael Moore is number one, New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger number two and Sen. Ted Kennedy, three.

I love Goldberg's idea of creating lists of people you think are screwing up your country. But mindful of the fact that Canada is much smaller than the U.S. population-wise, and that I'm writing a column here, not a book, I'm only going to name 30.

The other thing I'm going to do differently from Goldberg is not limit my choices to liberals or the left because, well, really, there's just so much blame to go around.

Here then, are my "30 people who are screwing up Canada (And Rick Mercer is #14)":

(1) Belinda Stronach -- enough said.

(2) Peter MacKay -- ditto.

(3) Paul Martin -- because he said he'd be better than Jean Chretien and nobody has been able to stop laughing since.

(4) Jean Chretien -- because after AdScam, we have all "da proof" we need.

(5) Jack Layton -- because if we hear one more time about how his $4.6-billion budget deal with Paul Martin saved Canada, as opposed to Paul Martin's butt, we are all going to throw up.

(6) Gurmant Grewal (7) Ujjal Dosanjh (8 ) Tim Murphy -- because while they deserve each other, what did we ever do to deserve them?

(9) Scott Reid -- because Paul Martin's communications guru has somehow managed to fool the punditocracy into thinking his boss isn't just making everything up as he goes along.

(10) Stephen Harper -- because he should barbecue his advisers this summer instead of listening to another word they say.

(11) Rev. Eleanor Clitheroe -- because she's gone from being fired as the CEO of Hydro One for incredible extravagance, to becoming an Anglican cleric, to telling the Globe and Mail last week in an article about forgiveness that: "Yes, I do think Karla (Homolka) could be in heaven beside us." Good gawd.

(12) Bob Geldof -- because we certainly don't need him to tell us what a doofus our prime minister is.

(13) Bono -- ditto.

(14) Rick Mercer -- because ever since those "One Tonne Challenge" commercials, he's just not that funny anymore.

(15) Celine Dion -- because ... just because.

(16) Gilles Duceppe -- because he's too smart to be a separatist.

(17) Jean Lapierre -- because he's too dumb to be a federalist.

(18 ) Ben Mulroney -- because how much longer can 15 minutes of fame possibly last?

(19) Dalton McGuinty -- because I promised myself I would include him in this list and what kind of a jerk are you if you go around breaking your promises?

(20) Tom Cruise -- I know, he's an American, but we still have to watch while his brain turns into tapioca, now don't we?

(21) Michael Jackson -- ditto.

(22) Tom Green -- because ... what is it he does again, exactly?

(23) John Ralston Saul -- because could he please, just for one blessed minute, stop telling us about how smart he is? Also, why do guys like him always seem to have three names?

(24) Adrienne Clarkson -- because wasn't she supposed to inform hubby (see 23) that being the spouse of the Governor General does not bestow upon one the title of "Philosopher King"?

(25) Stephen Lewis -- because yes, we can actually feel it now, he really is painfully self-righteous.

(26) David Suzuki -- ditto.

(27) Svend Robinson -- ditto.

(28 ) Naomi Klein -- ditto.

(29) Maude Barlow -- ditto.

(30) Conrad Black -- because the only person left to blame, is himself.

Well, that's my list. What's yours?



Who would you add to this list and why.

Yes, the thread is stupid, but the list is genius.

You need to lighten up Beaverbrook.

   



Streaker @ Thu Jul 14, 2005 10:57 pm

IMHO it's a good thread. #1 on the list should be Brian Mulroney.

Who said anything about America in this thread? Maybe my eyesight's going....

Pull your head out of where ever you've stuck it; if you just want to be left alone, why are you here, on a Canadian site?

It sure would be a tough one to figure out with us having multiple brigades of armed mad cows and all.
