I just finished "100 People Who Are Screwing Up America" by Bernard Goldberg. I really enjoyed it, though I disagreed with about a third of the choices.

Who else has read it and what did you think?

I wasnt even aware there were 100 people living in America. I would have thought by now the terroristz would have the number closer to 48.

I read it becuase I saw that interview. The guy is a tard who wrote it.

To quote John Stuart, "It seems biased. You only included 4 conservitaves, one of which was convicted for shooting an Abortion doctor..."


Hey, nice marmot!

Yes it was quite funny

I also happened to see his interview on the O'Reily Factor. I think that he was treated more fairly there.

I found the book more entertaining than politically or socially moving, though it did raise some good points.

I saw it in a book store, and that's where I forgot about it, too. It looked like a waste of time.

I am sure People Weekly's 100 Sexiest People in American is more accurate and entertaining than that book...

No, it isnt. The abortion doctor deserved to die for killing innocent babies. That abortion doctor killer is a hero. Christ said so...

The last thing about 100 people I read was the Maxim Hot 100. 

I bet mine was more fun to read (well, look at).


I wish my grass was emo so it would cut itself.

Most are liberal, because most of the people in his book are celebrities.
And if your a celebrity, your are more likely to be a liberal.
