Library[edit]

I came across a copy of this book in a library a few months back. It's astonishing how dated it is. Granted, political books never have a long shelf life, but this one would have been obsolete after six months. #63 was a woman who had a selective reduction abortion and wrote a column about it. Really, Bernie? She's screwing up America? She was a blogger punching bag at the time Goldberg was writing the book, so he just went ahead and threw her in to fill out the list - 100 is a lot, you know. No one talks about her anymore, and I had to look up her name (Amy Richards, in case anyone was wondering). Colonel of Squirrels (talk) 18:50, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Mikey's "Political Zoo" is another dated one. He lists John McCain as a enemy of conservatism, and predicts Hillary would have been the next DNC nominee. He fails to predict the congressional elections as well. I have a lot of old conservative books from my neocon days, thought I would expose the wingnuttery.Tyrannis (talk) 21:34, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Give 111 Americans screwdrivers and a handful of screws (possibly with 'little rubber jackets on') and this can be improved on. 82.198.250.3 (talk) 17:14, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Um... how can the list in regard to the list of the "most notable" and leave off number 2 on the list. For the list listed to be the most notable, one would expect the list in regard to the most notable list, to list the number 2 person in regard to the list of the most notable list. --PsyGremlinSprich! 17:09, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Yes, having #1, #3, and #4 on the list while not #2 seems to make it a bit more obvious. [[User:K61824|]][[User_talk:K61824|]] 19:38, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
FINE I'll update it when I get home, we probably have articles on more of them anyway. ТyTalk. 14:53, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Ramsey Clark:

> 6. Ramsey Clark:Wikipedia Saddam's lawyer. The rule of law shouldn't extend to evil people.

I mean, that's a vast understatement. Ramsey Clark legitimately has done and supported horrific things (pretty much defending any despot that opposes the US or its foreign policy). Hell, he didn't just defend Saddam, he supported him. Same in the case of the Bosnian genocide. I just think its disingenuous for us to pretend he was "just doing his job", when it's pretty clear he was not. — Unsigned, by: 136.36.146.120 / talk
