I'm so disappointed...I didn't make this list
Posted by Jill | 1:24 PM

Wanker de luxe John Hawkins has posted his list of the "Twenty Most Annoying Liberals in the United States" -- and Your Humble Blogger is nowhere to be found.

Ordinarily I don't link to crap like this, but this list is notable for the amount of overlap between this list and my own Brilliant 25 of 2005:

1) The Huffington Post. OK, so I assigned the spot to founder Arianna Huffington, whereas Hawkins assigns the honor to the blog. Whatever. #19 on Hawkins' list, #16 on mine.

2) Randi Rhodes. #11 on Hawkins' list, #12 on mine.

(This is getting scary, isn't it?)

3) Jack Murtha. #5 on Hawkins' list, #9 on mind.

And the winner of the coveted #1 spot on BOTH lists: Cindy Sheehan.

The Hawkins runners-up who DID make it onto my list are George Clooney and James Wolcott.

I must admit to some shame at having not included Helen Thomas on my list, for she deserves a spot on anyone's list. Ditto for Paul Krugman. And I probably should have included Joseph Wilson, though I still have him in mind if I ever get it together to do the "Hunks of the Left Calendar" I've been talking about for two years.

I have to try harder to make Hawkins' list myself next year. Add that to my list of resolutions.
