    In reply to Sometimes Bill O'Reilly Is Legitimately Funny
    O'Reilly handled himself beautifully, and Time Magazine is a fuck for using that picture just to try to be funny.

    This is a serious fucking issue. This is not a joke. The banks are not lending!

    Have you seen this graph from Brad Delong? These stats aren't jokes. People are really suffering in this shit.

    There is nothing funny about this. Not. One. Fucking. Snarky. Thing.

    I get that Time magazine has had a rough go of it with their last few POY, but this?

    Fail on this, Time Magazine. Fail.

    Entity? An homage?

    Haven't found a great nickname for him yet... Helicopter Ben is nice and cute, but "The Entity" might just do the trick better.

    I'm just going to keep voting for John Fitzgerald Page because to me he is the douchiest. I saw him interviewed on TV somewhere--Dr. Phil, maybe--and he made me so angry and I am now thrilled--well, semi-thrilled--to have the opportunity to express that anger in a productive way by clicking the box next to his name.

    I am glad my horse, Joe Francis, is winning. For influence, for all-throughout-America relevance, this douche's taint was hard to avoid. The whole decade was his.

    My support is heartfelt: I was once at a very large, nice-ish hotel in Jersey, off the turnpike, around 2002. There was also a BMW appreciator's convention in house. As I and several friends went out to get dinner, some random dick points a small video camera right outside the front doors and shouts "Hey, ladies, show us your tits!" Note: We were/are dorks. We were at a dork convention at the time, were comfortably dressed, and in no way on the verge of Going Wild. It was the most random bit of drive-by sexual harassment I have ever experienced.

    Would this have happened without Joe Francis? I thinketh not. I'm sure women all over the world have similar stories - his reach is wide.

    In conclusion: Give the man his due. This, right here, is an epic douchebag.

    @NoelleBlue: It's hard. I mean, he didn't 'invent' piggishness, and then he was also almost raped with a dildo that one time. Also also, he marched for pretend gay-rights in DC a couple months back, when the other gay people did it.

    He's said some shitty-ass things over the years, and seems to perhaps be some sort of idiot, but he mostly seems like a harmless dope (it's like the difference between hating the Yankees and hating Yankee fans, I guess).

    @Colander: True true! He's not straight up *evil*. However, I do believe that every single one of these men up for this fine award must have SOME redeeming quality. (Note: I will not lay money on that.) Good to their mother. Great to pets. Once gave a dollar to the salvation army. etc.

    Stilllll, as decade-long douchebaggery goes, I do think he's done good/bad/horrible work!

    That list is chilling -- a party no one should attend without a hazmat suit and a precautionary antibiotic/Valtrex drip.

    And sadly, all of them would be THRILLED to win.

    Fine. Tucker Max it is. And only because his douchiness actually imploded in his face before the decade was over.

    I still say that John Fitzgerald Page is the true definition of douche. Tucker Max is some sort of (albeit revolting) media creature. Page is the real thing out in the wild.
