G21 WORLD HQ - During the waning hours of 2004, we polled our staff writers and the Mailing List Membership for nominees for our "Bottom Ten" list of individuals for the year. Much like Mr. Blackwell's famed "Worst Dressed" list, ours is a reverse listing; we are choosing the people the world could have done without last year.
What follows is a digest of List Member comments and our owon final choices of the dregs of humanity last year.
Having conducted this exercise, off and on, for over a decade now (we discontinued it briefly during at the end of the 1990s and the beginning of this decade), I've been often disappointed but more often bemused by the results.
The near unanimity of the Members of our Mailing List was breathtaking, as you'll see. But there were also a few surprise nominees that we never would have imagined making this List ourselves.
Let the Games begin!
Call me lazy if you like, but nothing has ever been this easy.
1. George Bush
Need I tell you why? Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!
Regards,
ok
here it is
1 DICK CHENEY
so yeah
that's what I got
peace!!!
His name is Kofi Annan - UN general s
ecretary.
Reasons:
1. After long years of [the] kissing ass of the US government, he closed his eyes when Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright decided to distract public attention from his dick!
2. He allowed Gorge Bush to invade Iraq and bring death and destruction to that country of enormous scale and now is pretending to support [the] American model of "free democratic elections".
3. Although he was informed, he missed [the opportunity] to react and prevent genocide in [the] Darfur region in Sudan. Vecause of that, over [a] million Africans were mutilated and murdered and million[s] more are right now dying of hunger and diseases.
3. For the last 72 hours, as well as his favorite friend Bush, he shamelessly refused to show his ass in public and offer sympathy, help, support and [an] explanation about [the] UN relief plan for countries hit by tsunami destruction. Thanks to the UN['s] late reaction, who knows how many people have died[?] and how many lives could be saved if anyone there had had [a] pure heart and real compassion!!!!
All in all -- [a] pathetic type of [the] worst kind who pulled [the] UN down more than any
other previous General Secretary.
WHY should you advertise here? We'll tell you.
--Bob
PS Happy New Year!
Again for GW Bush.
Arrogant, medieval politics and thinking ... With people like him we would be all raging cavemen fighting for land, food, gold and women
10. George Bush
XOX,
Rumsfeld who couldn't be bothered to sign condolence letters personally
the idiot soldiers who left their minds somewhere else in the abu grabi [sic] prison
the higher-ups who encouraged the torturers and left them to take the rap
President Bush who cynically let Karl Rove play on American's fears of future terrorist attacks and also used the red/green/yellow warnings. Neither candidate had the guts to tell Americans that despite all the precautions taken and making passengers on airlines take off their shoes a terrorist who is ready to die is pretty difficult to stop. Don't they see what happens all the time in Israel?
I will have to do some thinking. I hope you don't identify any people who make nominations please ...
those people at the volcano center or whatever it was in Hawaii who told CNN that they didn't have any phone numbers for people to call in the countries vulnerable to the tsunamis -- they
didn't think of calling CNN or even Fox news????
Mwara
or was saved
here i will try to re construct it
the gang of four
colin powell for being the biggest oreo cookie known to mankind
mel gibson -- for making a movie that he claims is based on the literal word of god yet adds in a character not in the so called bible
any siblings of bad pop stars trying to to ride of their better known other's woeful career (such as the duff girls, simpsons and spears)
god for hitting us with a disaster just at a time when every mad warmonger invokes the sanctity of the big faker as an excuse for killing people--the dope proved to be the master at killing mankind
You'll note that we have listed the comments/nominees of both Mailing List Members and Writers in one group this year. For the first time ever -- and this has been a season of firsts -- it seems that our group was barely able to come up with ten people they could agree on for the G21 Mailing List Member's Bottom Ten List for 2004:
10 - Richard Perle
COMMENTARY: The votes for G.W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld were far overwhelming, among our Mailing List Members and Writers this year. They out-polled, as the sample above demonstrates, most other nominees by a ratio of almost four-to-one.
Again, This Editor has to comment that the decisions appeared heavily driven by much that appeared in the Mouthpiece Media at the close of the year.
10 - Bob Shrum - Here was an over-rated political consultant called in to orchestrate "the most important election of our lifetimes" while his own career was on its last legs. He hadn't smelled a victory in years and was put in charge of the middling effort of the Loyal Opp
osition in the United States to try to salvage that country's standing and trust in the world community.
What did he do? Re-run the Michael Dukakis campaign for President of the United States.
There's no doubt this man had a hand in putting "Invisible John" Edwards on the Kerry presidential ticket to do nothing for most of last summer.
Now he demonstrates his shameless opportunism by suggesting that the U.S. Constitution should be amended so that people like himself can be elected to the highest office in the land.
Only Californians are stupid enough to be "lead" by someone like this.
Let's face facts: even
before his World Wrestling Entertainment Moment -- Dr. Dean was leading a Children's Crusade that would have given the White House back to Dubya faster than the Kerry campaign even managed to do so. Kerry did carry a few states. Dean never won an election with actual voters in it outside of Vermont. And we're just talking the primaries where all the voters were Democrats.
The members of his Liberal party might have been sheepish enough to accept his half-assed apology when they convened last year BUT that doesn't take one drop of blood from his hands. Mr. Blair, like His Master's Voice, insists that he went into Iraq as a matter of conscience, that he believed there were actual weapons of mass destruction, that he had made the world a better place.
Why can't we believe that even he believes what he's saying?
The prospective United States Attorney General pulled it off.
He even bumped former Attorney General John Ashcroft off the list when all
the evidence indicates that it was he, rather than Ashcroft, who stepped up to say that torture of detainees by the United States could take a pass, that habeas corpus doesn't matter for so-called "foreign combatants" and might not even do so for American citizens, and paved the road for Abu Ghraib and the abuses at Gitmo.
You decide. We just report.
Through his various media organizations -- and pre-eminently the Fox News Network -- he has distinquished himself as a premiere political manipulator. Whether one looks at the aforementioned government propaganda organ, modelled on similar but less pervasive organs he has set up in the United Kingdom and Australia; his deal in China or; the entire sleazefest involving his employee Bill O'Reilly -- (Settled out of court, but that won't stop you from talking about
the loofah.) -- the level of garbage, filth, scum, mis- and disinformation this single monster's conglomerate, News Corp., has managed to spew across the planet is staggering.
The terms of his contract with the Dark Lord seem plain to us.
Sadly, we know we'll see you right here on this List of Scum again next year.
We pray for the people in the former Soviet sphere of influence. We pray for the people of Russia.
Only the people of the United States seem to have a bleaker future.
THE WORST PERSON AROUND TODAY IS DICK CHENEY. YOU are probably wondering what happened to Mr. Cheney since the U.S. election. Our theory is that he's back in the same bunker he was from September 11th, 2001, onward -- at the REAL CONTROLS of the United States government.
We think there's a good reason they keep him there, out of sight. Did you notice how chilly it was during those few months of the campaign when Cheney was around? Being around this guy let's you know that the "cold day in Hell" started long ago.
Halliburton, his company, bilks the United States taxpayers and the troops in Iraq and openly tells the American people -- remember that debate with John Edwards? -- it's no big deal. Ching-ching!
This miscreant, despite every single bit of solid evidence to the contrary, insisted adamantly that Iraq had been a threat to the most powerful country on Earth month after month this autumn, right up until the election -- and never recanted on the claim that the weapons of mass destrucstion existed, even after incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, even after Bush and Blair both
backed off that claim and changed to the bringing democracy to the Middle East cant.
We don't believe he's insane.
We do suspect he's the actual President of the United States. G21 BOTTOM 10 OF 2003 +++ check out our VOX POPULI PAGE for more reader comments +++ G21 BOTTOM 10 OF 2005 +++

1. gw bush -- do I really have to even comment?Simiyu B. of Nairobi, KENYA wrote The World's Magazine:
There really is one person i would like to see voted at the very bottom of the list despite what ... Time magazine thinks: George BUsh Jnr. He has managed, through his theocracy inclined politics, to destroy almost all the eucumenical spirit that saw the Islam and Christian world tolerate each other. He has embarked on a US foreign policy that supports unilateralism for the US, in the process disregarding all international bodies like the UN when he went to war in Iraq without a UN security council resolution, his administration has gone berserk and decided that in pursuit of US policies worldwide, they have a right to use military force to force other countries to accept what the US wants, and all this is done in the name of DEmocracy and christian GOD. This is in itself ironical, and my christian faith does not allow me to reason like him a
nd cover my imperialism under the guise of making this world safer. CHristian fundamentalism is slowly rising in the whole world thanks to his support and funding. HE has altered the world: for the worse.
[Anonymous] of Rome, ITALY made these choices:
worst of 2004?
Mwara K'U, of London, England, UNITED KINGDOM lamented:
See, the problem is I dont know so many people's names. I would like to slag the guys who built the computers the US voters voted on; I'd like to slag Bush again except that it seems rather pointless, like slagging off Hitler or
something -- he'd just look at you with that confident little smirk and go right ahead. Bush, I mean, not Hitler. Blair is much higher on the Baddy scale this year than last, but again he was my nominee last year, so I begin to feel a bit unimaginative and uninformed. I am weary of the quantity of evil the world holds, sigh. And I cant blame anyone for the condition of the Indian Ocean, so ... Oh, I know, what about Warren Buffet, for popularising the escape of capital into stockmar
ket funds etc where it doesn't help anyone? Do you know around 50% of the actual money in the world is not funding any economic action?at all, it's in dodgy bets on stockmarkets? The people I'm upset with this year are?money managers.

Coming up with this year's list was problematic. For the first time ever, we separated the editorial staff from the Editor & Publisher in choosing our "official" list because the staff choices (read: Main Choice) so matched that of the Mailing List Members. Our contrarian -- and supposedly more-informed -- Fearless Leader had other ideas in mind than either the readership or the writers. So how "official" our official list is this year could well be called into question. Nonetheless, without further ado:
Herewith the "official" G21 BOTTOM TEN LIST FOR 2004:
9 - Arnold Schwartzenegger - It was bad enough that while admitting (for all intents and purposes) to being a former sexual miscreant, he took advantage of the weakness of a "gray" politician saddled with problems whose true source was Enron manipulations and the Bush White House's complicity. The capper was showing up at the Republican National Convention of 2004 and announcing that Richard Nixon -- Richard Nixon! who was driven from office in shame for practically shredding the country's Constitution -- was his idea of a manly man (as opposed to a "girly man") in politics.
8 - Howard Dean - We already know that the rabid liberals -- as opposed to actual dissidents in the United States, will decry this choice.
7 - Tony Blair - The British Prime Minister escaped being placed on this list for 2002 by a hair's breadth, placed solidly in 2003 and did his level best in 2004 to demonstrate that he could be as heinous as anyone who has ever made this list.
6 - Alberto Gonzales - It takes a lot to shove Kim Jong-Il out of his slot on this List, let alone off the List altogether.
5 - Senator Chuck Hagel - Only now is Hagel's ownership of Election Systems and Software starting to get a rumble among the conspiracy-theory crowd. Is there a link between this Nebraska Republican and the fact that the world was shaken by an American election that makes what happened in the Ukraine look clean?
4 - Rupert Murdoch - The surprise here is that this media meglomaniac did not make it closer to the bottom, if anything.
3 - ARIEL SHARON - Welcome back, Prime Minister. We can't add to your list of perfidies covered in these and other pages over the last four years, so we won't try. There's one link we can provide that only scratches the surface. IF Americans Knew.
SECOND RUNNER UP: VLADIMIR PUTIN was so busy and slimey over the past year that he pushed Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe off the list. His crimes added up so quickly;
-- we'd better stop there.
