GQ’s “Least Influential people” list
According to TVNewser, GQ magazine has released their list of the twenty-five least influential people alive;
Also on the list: Tia and Tamera Mowry (#4). (Tamera married Fox News correspondent Adam Housley over the summer); also Tina Brown (#17), John Boehner (#24) and Pres. Obama (#25). Topping the list former GOP candidate Tim Pawlenty.
You know what that means, right? That means I’m more influential than the President…so are you. Seems to me that the President being on the list should lead the story, though, not Ed Schultz. And I wonder where Joe Biden falls on the list – he should be the number one, the retard.
I wonder how the White House is going to spin this story.
Thanks to ROS for the link.

Now that some of the names have been “leaked”, look for GQ to quickly shit-can the list. Mustn’t offend The Won, after all. Or they’ll quickly revise it to leave The Won off the list.
Ed Schultz? Who dat?
How fitting they would list the Mowry twins.
Their father was in the Army, and both twins were in show business at an early age, starring in their own show.
The Mowry twins have always been about family friendly, wholesome type entertainment and not the crude, sexual, and degrading type of programs the media tend to celebrate.
I’d rather these two women be role models and influential for my kids than the filth they usually push onto ever younger kids these days.
These lists are generally retarded. They ultimately become nothing more than popular/unpopular lists, along with the accompanying commentary.
Why would someone want to “spin” an obviously bullshit list?
Here’s my list of the stupidest motherfuckers on the planet:
1. Rush Limbaugh
2. Glenn Beck
3. Sarah Palin
4. Herman Cain
5. Michelle Bachman.
Now take that list, print it and use it for toilet paper. Because that’s the only “use” it has short of getting Conservatives riled.
To have the President ANY president on a list of uninfluential people is just ignorant. There’s only been one in the last 150 years that could possibly fit that description and that was Andrew Johnson who was a member of the opposing party of a veto-proof Congress.
As much as i despised Bush, i could never say he was without influence. Even when he’d lost both houses of Congress. As long as he has the veto pen he had influence.
Anyone calling Barack Obama uninfluential is just being a provocative fool and shouldn’t be taken seriously.
Upnorth: usually the derision is to call President Obama “The One”. Or are you referring to President Obama as “The Won” because he, unlike Bush, actually won his first election. If that’s the case than you are absolutely correct, sir. “The One” did win.
I actually didn’t mean that last comment to be anonymous. I switched from internet explorer to firefox. IE didn’t make me put in my name each time. I was the one that asked upnorth about “The Won”.
And that caused everyone else to lose.
This is insipid:
For some reason this fershlugener program won’t put up my name, even when i type it in! Sheesh!
@7 Certainly the stock market which has double since Barack Obama has come to office hasn’t “lost”. Certainly the millions of people who have benefited from his removing the middle man in student loans hasn’t lost. Certainly the millions that will be saved from health cares implementation will not have lost Certainly those who can now serve honestly in the military have not lost.
I wrongly blamed Firefox for my blunder earlier. I just didn’t match the information to the boxes. Computers is HARD!
Hey genius, newsflash: THIS COUNTRY IS FUCKING BROKE!!!!
Well here we go again. I mean you people can not accept the fact that Al Bore lost, nor can you accept that he would have been the worst possible president since our 15th who holds that distinction for almost single handedly causing the civil war to actually start.
Barry-O is perhaps one of the worst things to happen to this nation since 9/11. Why? well he singlehandedly ensured that we are well and truly fucked financially. He has done such a great job at *not* leading, and and even worse job of addressing Race relations (making them more adversarial) that he has probably set Blacks back by 20 years, no one would trust another black president because of him, not despite him, and if you don’t find that tragic, then you are a racist
Kind of interesting though, that under the last administration, not once did I ever hear or have to utter the phrase: Hey Marines gather round, there’s a chance we’re not getting paid next month. Not once,ever. And, yet again, it’s FY 12 and do we have a budget yet? Of course not.
Yeah the knuckleheads in DC sure got their act together, boy, other countries should emulate them so they can be just like us…. you know, no financial problems what so ever, booming eceonomy and all….. 😐
Insipid, nope, not what I was referencing, I was referring to this, “President Obama listened to Republican gripes about his stimulus package during a meeting with congressional leaders Friday morning – but he also left no doubt about who’s in charge of these negotiations. “I won,” Obama noted matter-of-factly, according to sources familiar with the conversation. “ Also, read the third paragraph very carefully in the linked article, and let us know how Obama’s plan worked out? The article is from 2010, http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/17862.html
As far as the “millions saved from health care’s implementation”, I don’t know what that mean.
@Redacted, Hey, Genius it’s because of REPUBLICAN POLICIES that the Country is supposedly “broke”.
#15 And there it is. By fingerpointing like a child,you sir, have failed.
Sorry, the worst possible President since Buchanan was George W Bush. One of the best Presidents in History was Barack Obama. His biggest “Flaw” is that he wasn’t able to fix the colossal fuck up that was “W” in three short years. But there’s no doubt that history will remember “W” as a colossal fuck up and Obama as one of the greats.
And yes, i WILL blame it on bush, for one reason IT’S ALL OF BUSH’S GODDAMN FAULT. He’s to blame, that’s all there is to it.
It’s not finger pointing, it’s doling out responsibility. Conservatives always like to talk about “personal responsibility” except for when they’re responsible.
Sure, keep telling yourself that….i’m sure that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Fail again.
Someone forgot who held the White House, and both houses of Congress for two years, and both houses of Congress from 2007 to 2011, and the Senate, with the filibuster, since 2003.
Um, up North, GW “won” in 2000 by a MUCH smaller margin (that would be an undeniably negative margin if you go by popular vote) and he STILL acted as if he had a mandate. He still pushed through the Bush tax cuts. And you know what, i don’t blame him for it. Elections do have consequences.
Now, if i could only get some whiners on the “left” to recognize that.
True upnorth, in a sense, democrats were handed their own problem by other democrats.
I didn’t “forget” that’s why i think the whole point of this article is bullshit in fact. Because President Bush had the veto pen, he prevented the Democrats from fixing the problems HE caused. But make no mistake, HE caused them. His fault, not Barack’s. George W. Bush is to blame. Own up to it.
Insipid just can’t accept the fact that dems fucked up royally, and Nobama has done nothing to fix it. Well, except for spending more his first year in office than this country did in WW1 and 2 COMBINED. I suppose that’s an accomplishment of sorts. So much for accountability.
@13 Redacted: We wouldn’t be hearing it now if the Republicans were more concerned about soldiers than raising the top marginal tax rate.
Yeah with a Republican administration I never had to worry about NOT GETTING PAID. Face it dude, Nobama’s a flop, get over it, move on, vote for someone else next year.
And yet, W issued 12 vetoes, and 4 were over-ridden, Bill Clinton issued 37 and only 2 were over-ridden.
And, now, the “Bush Tax Cuts” aren’t his anymore, they’re now the Obama Tax Cuts. He signed the law extending the tax cuts, they’re his.
You apparently never heard the easy way to study for a test on government and legislative process back in high school. It goes, “the president <b?proposes, the congress disposes.
And, looking over Bush’s vetoes, I don’t see where he vetoed anything that the dems had passed to “fix” any problems. Perhaps you can link to the bills he vetoed that would have “fixed” things you think the dems tried to “fix”?
@24 redacted: WHERE are you getting THAT stat from? Other than your arse? Perhaps in dollars not adjusted for inflation MAYBE. But even then i doubt it:
Here’s a chart that should clearly illustrate WHO is to blame for the deficit:
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/07/the-chart-that-should-accompany-all-discussions-of-the-debt-ceiling/242484/#
Total cost of new policies bush: 5.07 Trillion
total cost of new policies Obama:1.44 Trillion
Keep in mind that 711 billion of Obama’s new policies was the stimulus, made necessary by “W” and his colossal fuck-up of a presidency.
In fact the VAST majority of the rise in debt came from bush, the increase in unemployment causes a rise in federal spending because of unemployment and medicaid. Plus Obama stopped putting the cost of the wars HE got us into off-budget. So again, it is ALL Bush’s fault. He’s to blame. Say it conservatives, take that RESPONSIBILITY you’re all so proud of! You’ll feel better for it.
@27 They’re not “the obama tax cuts” they’re still bush’s. The Republican’s used them as a bargaining chip against the unemployed and they also “caved” on a second stimulus. Reagan “Caved” on 11 tax hikes for the good of the country. But i don’t see conservatives cursing reagan as a tax raiser.
That was back when Republicans were allowed to be reasonable.
Wow. this guy really is in denial….This is what i’m talking about when i say i dont know who worries me more. The moron squatting in the oval office or the idiots that elected him. Insipid is case-in-point. I bet nobama could single handedly gun down a busload of catholic school kids and insipid would refuse to hold him accountable. The guy’s a fuck up. Face it.
http://www.usdebtclock.org/
Numbers don’t lie my friend.
so explain to me this. O borrows more in Three years than W did in 8. In fact, Barry single handedly DOUBLED the national debt. in what universe is that a good thing?
@27- Bush issued his vetoes over the span of 2 years, Clinton issued his over a 6 year span. Apples and oranges.
Yes, redacted, the debt, thanks to Republicans, is bad.
Nobama’s a democrat, duh.
@31 doc: a large portion of that is because W. wouldn’t put the wars on the books and a larger portion of that is because of the amazingly horribly fucked up economy W handed Obama. We don’t disagree that the debt is a bad thing where are disagreement is 1. who is to blame for it (Bush) 2. how to fix it ( taxing the rich and corporations).
I also disagree with the Republican mantra that “deficits don’t matter” (cheney) when they’re in office but a HUGE emergency as soon as they lose.
Insipid’s sinking fast. This is why most people think liberals in general are either batshit fucking crazy or suffering some form of dementia.
Hmmm, the deficit was, roughly $10 Trillion in 2008, when your guy took office. Now, as of the beginning of this week, the deficit is $15 Trillion. http://home.adelphi.edu/sbloch/deficits.html
He’s increased the deficit by half in 3 years. Not bad for a beginner. And, like I said, he had lots of democrat help. You claim that “In fact the VAST majority of the rise in debt came from bush”, but O increased the debt by 33% in 3 years, so you’re wrong on that count. Also, just for shits and giggles, check out who has the highest deficit in millions of 1983 dollars, in U.S. History.
Now, if you want to be taken seriously, address the veto issue that YOU brought up. And, I still have no fucking idea what you meant with “Certainly the millions that will be saved from health cares implementation will not have lost”.
Do you EVER have anything other than stupid-assed declarations of how i’m getting my ass kicked? I’ll hereby stipulate that in all conversations past and future i’ll ever have with ANY of you that you totally kicked my liberal ass! Cause really the “I won”! “No i totally won!” game got old the first time i tried to play it with you. Your basis for victory has never been- nor will it ever be- anything more than your proclamation, so since you’re bound to proclaim that each and every time. I guess i’m the “loser”.
Now that you’ve gotten the little pat on your uber competitive head, do you have ANYTHING of substance to say?
Cause the fact is that, regardless of Obama’s policies, the Debt was going to go up HUGELY because of the Disasterous fucked up beyond all recognition BUSH economy. Even if McCain got elected, the debt would be just as high, if not higher, than it is today. And i would be the first to say, it’s NOT McCain’s fault, but Bush’s for leaving us with the worst economy since the LAST republican great depression.
Yeah cause madly cackling “ITS ALL BUSHES FAULT” over and over again is so different from what you’re accusing us of, right? People have been institutionalized for the same behavior you’re exhibiting. Give me a friggin break man.
Yes upnorth that is true, but most of that increase in debt was because he put the wars on the books and because of increased government payouts (unemployment insurance, food stamps) and less revenue (unemployed workers not paying taxes) caused by the colossal fuck up that was George W. Bush. Very little of that increase had anything to do with Obama’s policies.
Again, i’ll stop blaming bush for everything he did, when you START blaming him. You have to know whose policies caused the damage before you can fix the problem. And it was, sadly, all Bush’s fault.
the “horrible fucked up economy” had a lot to do with Clinton, and his “community reinvestment act”. Which set up the toxic loan situation in the first place. as for “putting the war on the books” please, tell me, HOW ON EARTH would you keep something as massive as GWOT off the books? We’ve had to listen to Liberals bitching for years about the cost of it all. So did operations suddenly happen I was unaware of? Did we perhaps send 150,000 troops to SIBERIA??? or maybe we massively increased the size of the force to the size roughly of the PRC’s Army? That would be pretty impressive seeing as no one’s been able to find evidence of such.
OR maybe, and I’m just spit balling here, Barry pised away money like a coke dealer, and decided to give money to all his cronies. I mean Machine politics is what Chicago is famous for right? I’m sure that Unions, and “Green” energy places and all those asshats NEVER promised Obama votes/campaign contributions in exchange for [insert perk/kickback here]. Had he been Republican I have no doubt he would have been impeached by now. Eric Holder is reason enough alone to chuck him out of office for the good of the nation.
Im confident GW will be on the right side of history by the end of this century. That’s why libtards and their ilk are doing everything they can to tear him down.
I take it that it’s a “no” on being able to back up what you claimed, Insipid?
And, saying that “the fact is” with out links and cites is just another version of it’s true cuz I say it’s true.
Oh and Obamacare demands of healthcare many things. What exactly does it back up these demands with? Is it going to pay for these policies which are going to cost ungodly amounts of money? Oh and what about all the Illegal aliens who neither pay taxes, nor, really ever their healthcare. If you ask why California has such a HUGE deficit, you might want to start looking at the hospitals.
I did “address” the veto issue. I said the veto is what prevents ANY president from being irrelevant. That was true of Bush it is true of Obama. It’s been true of every President since Johnson.
I believe that after the ACA is full implemented that it will save as many lives as Medicare has and that it will be just as popular. Time will tell. I think that answers your questions.
You start out almost rational, then revert to the typical prog talking point of “Very little of that increase had anything to do with Obama’s policies”. If Obammy had a presser tomorrow and admitted his hope was to put the US into a 3rd World economy, you’d deny he ever said it and didn’t want to do it.
I’ll go further than you ever will, Bush was wrong about a lot of things, the Medicare drug plan leaps to mind. The GWOT, nope. Trying to be the “compassionate conservative”? Yup.
I saw the warts on my guy, the problem is, you can see the warts on your guy, you aren’t honest enough to admit he has the warts. Can you say Fast and Furious, Solyndra, Stimulus, and the lack of a budget for two years, and that’s not even looking in a search engine for a lot of examples.
UpNorth I disagree with his border policy as well..
There’s no provision of the ACA that allows illegals to have health care. Illegals under the ACA will do the same, very costly thing they’re doing now, showing up at emergency rooms.
The policies are going to be paid for by 1. The mandate and 2. the provision that health care providers MUST spend 85% of their money on…HEALTH CARE.
When it is done, most of you are going to like it. The same way most like medicare now. You’re going to like being able to switch insurers or get cheap insurance if you work for yourself. You’re going to like not having to pay for preventive care. You’re going to like it when your rate goes down since you won’t have to pay for some “hippie” that is too irresponsible to buy his own health care. By rallying against “obamacare” you’re rallying against your own best interest.
But if I may, one of the reasons that many people are hesitate about a universal healthcare is that it may run similar to military healthcare.
I would recommend anyone that is in favor of this system to try military healthcare for a extended period of time to see if they still keep the same views.
