Barack Obama and Ed Schultz Make GQ's '25 Least Influential People Alive'
President Barack Obama and MSNBC's Ed Schultz have been named to GQ magazine's annual list of "The 25 Least Influential People Alive."
Although not available online yet, TVNewser published a preview Friday:
MSNBC’s Ed Schultz comes in at #3. Ouch.
…Then there pundits like Ed Schultz. Do you watch “The Ed Show” on MSNBC? Of course you don’t. No one does. The only reason people watch “The Ed Show” is they’re working out in a hotel gym and they can’t find a staff member to change the channel to ESPN.
Hehehe.
According to TVN, Obama came in 25th. Can't wait to see the explanation.
In the seventeenth position is Daily Beast/Newsweek editor Tina Brown. Forbes quoted from the piece Tuesday:
Brown spent 2011 transforming Newsweek from a magazine no one reads into a magazine no one reads but everyone despises. That’s what happens when you star-f**k the corpse of Princess Diana by Photoshopping her at age 50 for your cover, then do a separate Photoshop of her holding an iPhone, and then create a fake Facebook page for her that includes wall posts from Deepak Chopra. Did you know Tina and Di were friends? They were! This Photoshopped image of them having lunch with Stevie Nicks is proof!
In case you were wondering, former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty topped the list.
*****Update: Here's the link to the GQ piece and what was said about Obama...
25. President Obama
Okay, so we're cheating a bit with this one. He did order the raid that wiped Osama bin Laden off the face of the earth. But then he used that surplus of political capital to let everyone in Washington stick a boot in his ass. This is a man who should be the most transformational figure of the century. Hell, he promised to be that. Instead he wields all the power of a substitute teacher at night school.

I must disagree with the Ed Schultz rating- He has a big influence at the fishing camp he bought in Canada and Obama rules at chicago's "Man's Country " club.

Hey girlie...........it's good to see you again!!! Oh, yeah......you can go to about a week ago, and Clementine was in FULL attack mode here for about 4 days...........I think he finally got banned last Sunday or something like that. Of course, he was the ONLY one here who knew the 'TRUTH"..........and we were anti mooooooooooooooooslem, anti gay, anti Constitution, anti conservative, anti American, anti 'truth'...........and anti government. You'd get a kick out of reading his rants.
I was calling him 'Clevie-Poo'........but that was because he was leaving big piles of stinky steaming excrement every where he went. Of course, I call you 'Ninjie-Poo' because you're so damn cute!!! And smart!!! Hahahahahahahaha!!!

Tina Brown seems more influential in killing stories
Submitted by antiObamunist on Fri, 11/25/2011 - 7:59pm.
This link will take you to the site that broke early stories of Fast & Furious, and is now ready to break a new story on PATCON. Newsweek just published a story related to it, but was completely gutted of pertinent facts related to PATCON. Tina Brown was instrumental in getting those facts suppressed from the story at the behest of the FBI and DOJ.
Question: would fast and furious be considered just another conspiracy theory on the death of Brian Terry and the missing third gun if it were not for the whistleblowers and the other immpecable sources at ATF developed by Mike Vanderbough at SSI?
If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, check out his post on Project Gangwalker, curiously similar to F & F, in which the ATF (aided by FBI ) allowed guns to be bought by felons and transferred to known criminal gangs in the U.S. (I know , I am just a conspiro right BD )
Sorry can't get the link to post but the stories are posted on his blog

I laughed out loud when I read this, but they probably should have named this list "The 25 Least Influential People Alive Who In Their Own Minds Really Think They Are Influential". I am a little surprised that the entire MSNBC line up isn't on it, not to mention Al Gore and blow hard Keith. OWS should be on it too.

Speaking of Obama's lack of (positive) influence, here's today's Pat Caddell and Douglas Schoen WSJ article on why Obama should not run for a second term. Kaboom! Hillary's not the answer (as they recommend) either. She comes from the same political swamp of snakes Obama comes from. But the article is going to drive the Obama lap sitters nuts.

Is on the list is because he failed the left. He failed the left like no one ever could. They wanted a transcendent figure that can move men with mere words. But the he is so week that he let the Right walk all over his but and failed to be anything that they wanted him to be. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Or something like that. Read the little blurb in print in GQ when looking at it because of Mila Kunis in some dead eyes like look on the cover.

GQ will blame the TeaParty or Republicans or conservatives somehow for the low ratings of the Liberal gods. One thing you can count on: Liberals will always stick together, basically because they are slime and slime is sticky. On the other hand... conservatives will devour each other arguing about the number of Angels that can fit on the head of a pin. NB I beseech you, do not accept these crumbs from the liberal table.

This is something Liberals need to understand.
Submitted by Avitar on Sun, 11/27/2011 - 3:21am.
The liberals get more air time and several times more positive stories but thoughtful Americans have learned to tune them out because they say such insane things.
Say enough things that fly in the face of history and people quit listening to you. The leadership of the Democratic Party understands this and has reduced the amount of history which can be learned in school to a small sliver of what it once was. The school curriculum is also based on much less primary source material and more on derivative material.
