That must have been a gargantuan task to pare down the list to just twenty. But here&#8217;s a sample of his piece;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> <strong>20) Chris Hayes:<\/strong> He\u2019s a smarmy, politically correct beta male who would probably be irritating even if he wasn\u2019t talking about politics. If you had to pick the MSNBC host most likely to hold Rachel Maddow\u2019s purse while she shops, it would be Hayes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Defining quote:<\/em> \u201c(It\u2019s) very difficult to talk about the war dead and the fallen without invoking valor, without invoking the words \u2018heroes.\u2019 I feel \u2026 uncomfortable about the word hero because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war.\u201d \u2014 Chris Hayes<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Harry Reid:<\/strong> On the one hand, it\u2019s great to see that the farmer from the American Gothic painting doing so well. On the other hand, Reid still achieved a new low in American politics (which is saying something) when he, as the Senate Majority Leader, very publicly accused Mitt Romney of not paying his taxes for a decade based on what he claimed were anonymous sources.<\/p>\n<p><em>Defining quote:<\/em> \u201cI am not basing (the claim Mitt Romney hasn\u2019t paid taxes) on some figment of my imagination. I have had a number of people tell me that. I don\u2019t think the burden should be on me. The burden should be on him. He\u2019s the one I\u2019ve alleged has not paid any taxes.\u201d \u2014 Harry Reid<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Debbie Wasserman Schultz: <\/strong>She\u2019s the Caps Lock key of American politics because she sounds like this all the time, \u201cTHE REPUBLICANS ARE HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD PEOPLE WHO WANT TO EAT YOUR BABY AFTER THEY FINISH THEIR WAR ON WOMEN AND THEY\u2019RE LYING IF THEY DENY IT!\u201d The fact that someone as utterly unappealing as Schultz is in every single way could not only be elected to Congress, but could be the Chair of the Democratic National Committee is probably a sign of the apocalypse.<\/p>\n<p><em>Defining Quote:<\/em> \u201cIf you go back to the year 2000, when we had an obvious disaster and \u2013 and saw that our voting process needed refinement, and we did that in the America Votes Act and made sure that we could iron out those kinks, now you have the Republicans, who want to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws and literally \u2013 and very transparently \u2013 block access to the polls to voters who are more likely to vote Democratic candidates than Republican candidates. And it\u2019s nothing short of that blatant.\u201d \u2014 Debbie Wasserman Schultz<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our buddy, John Hawkins sends us a link to latest iteration of &#8220;The 20 Most Annoying &hellip; <a title=\"Right Wing News: The 20 Most Annoying Liberals of 2012 (10th Annual)\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=33460\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Right Wing News: The 20 Most Annoying Liberals of 2012 (10th Annual)<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bloggers-and-stuff","category-liberals-suck"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=33460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33460\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=33460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=33460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=33460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
