This may be a bit rough for work, but is a very popular list on the interwebs, and it's out.

50 most loathsome Americans of 2009

1. Glenn Beck

Charges: As the Sybil of cable punditry and graduate of the prestigious University of I Don’t Remember, Beck’s bipolar professor routine is hands down the funniest thing on TV. When he gets out the chalkboard and starts drawing trees and playing misspelled word association games with a comically grave demeanor, Beck makes Stephen Colbert look like a piker. The fact that millions of Americans think he knows what he’s talking about, however, is not funny at all. If this simpering boob, blubbering the same old reds-under-the-bed melodrama from the ‘50s with a sophomoric Da Vinci Code twist, is the face of the people’s rebellion, sign us up for the empire.
Exhibit A: “This president has exposed himself as a guy, over and over and over again, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture… I’m not saying that he doesn’t like white people.”
Sentence: Drowned in crocodile tears; eaten by crocodile.

2. Charles Koch

Charges: As the CEO of the nefarious Koch Industries, the second most profitable private company in the US, he’s like a 3-D Mr. Burns sans ethics and environmentalism. His family’s wealth comes from fossil fuels and speculation, and is maintained through their lobbying and disinformation campaigns. His dad cofounded the John Birch Society, known for claiming that water fluoridation was a communist plot to poison Americans. Koch bankrolls every faux free market think tank from Freedom Works to Cato to Americans for Prosperity.  They’ve funded the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, founded by Jon Overton, whose Machiavellian masterstroke was a political theory (The Overton Window) of making one’s unpopular policy goals more palatable by promoting an even less popular and more radical agenda. The death of health care reform doesn’t seems so bad after the summer-long threat of having the tree of liberty watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants, does it? The saddest part of this whole thing is, of course, that Koch is the tyrant, and puppet master of both media shills like CNBC’s Rick Santelli and their furiously dumb fans.
Exhibit A: Throughout the ‘80s, Koch Industries ran a “systematic, management-directed scheme to steal crude oil from producers on federal and Indian lands.” While swindling Indians may seem a bit cliché, Koch made enough off the scam to make his own brother blow him in. The fine? A whopping $25 billion, about a tenth of the money Koch stole. With numbers like that, they’d be crazy to not still be doing it.
Sentence: Blood used to water the tree of liberty, the poinsettias of sound environmental policy, the shrubbery of ethical contract law, and the cornfields of common sense regulation.

8. Harry Reid

Charges: Rules the Senate with all the vigor of a damp Wheat Thin. It’s a sad comment on the current state of Democrats that a pro-lifer runs the Senate and would rather compromise the health care bill to death than just call the GOP’s bluff and let the bastards filibuster until they tucker out. Despite having busted a mobster for an attempted bribe when he was Nevada Gaming Commissioner, Senator Reid seems a bit more flexible, as can be seen in a 2005 earmark for his own bridge to nowhere, which ramped up the value of his land holdings, and his efforts on behalf of a lobbyist/friend/contributor, whose attorney is Reid’s son, to facilitate a $30 billion golf course.
Exhibit A: On Ted Kennedy’s death, Reid said, “I think it’s going to help us.” How’s that working out for you, Harry?
Sentence: Donkey-punched by Scott Brown.

42. Arianna Huffington

Charges: HuffPo’s health coverage is like a horny chimp with a switch blade: dumb and dangerous. Arrianna’s “Wellness Editor” holds a “PhD” in homeopathy, the fake science of diluting medicine in water to increase its healing power—the higher the dilution, the more potent. In fact, she and other homeopathic quacks sell “medicine,” which is indistinguishable from Evian. Last summer, Arianna’s “internet newspaper” advised people to protect themselves from swine flu with a deep-cleansing enema. Seriously. Every woo-age celebrity with a vaccination conspiracy or snake oil remedy and a laptop is given column space at HuffPo. It hurts to read Dan Akroyd speculate about the existence of ghosts; it’s agonizing to read Deepak Chopra’s shoddy metaphysics, and it may actually kill to publish Bill Maher’s Luddite rants. Apparently, the only thing Huffington won’t let her writers do is get paid.
Exhibit A: “When it comes to health and wellness issues, our goal is to provide a diverse forum for a reasoned discussion of issues of interest and importance to our readers.”
Sentence: AIDS, one of Magic Johnson’s pills, Lake Michigan and a crazy straw.
