Obama, Cyrus among GQ's least influential list
2013-11-25
[PHILLY] Dennis Rodman is at the top of a list no one wants to be on. He's been named GQ's No. 1 least influential celebrity of 2013.

The 52-year-old former basketball player who has visited Kim Pudge Jong-un
...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished...
in North Korea was selected as the top pick in the magazine's third annual list of the least influential celebrities, which also includes twerking pop star Miley Cyrus, President Barack Obama

, and celebrity chef Paula Deen. GQ called Rodman a "Q-list celebrity willing to commit borderline treason just to hang out with a dictator who himself aspires to be a Q-list celebrity."

Rodman said this week he's preparing to return to North Korea late next month for an exhibition basketball tour.

Deen, whose cooking empire imploded this year after she admitted to having used the N-word to describe black employees, came in at No. 2 on the list behind Rodman, while former sexting U.S. Rep. Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner
...aka Hot Dog Tony, the remarkably offensive sex maniac six-term New York congressman who resigned in 2011, then decided everybody had forgotten by 2013, when he decided to run for mayor of New York City...
took the No. 3 spot.

"He's the saddest lecher in American politics, and that's saying something, because they're all lechers," the magazine said.

Cyrus, who garnered attention at this year's MTV Video Music Awards for her provocative performance with a foam finger, won the No. 6 position for "basically trying every inane strategy she could think of to rile up America's few remaining pearl clutchers." The magazine noted "what's sad is that it totally worked."

Obama came in at No. 17 because "nothing gets done."

Other celebrities deemed non-influential include Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Ryan Reynolds and Will Smith.

GQ is a Conde Nast publication, which kinda sez it all. Conde Nast loved the President and their magazines reflected that.

That is, until He began failing to deliver The Agenda.

#3  I don't know, I think he has managed to get a lot done. None of it good for the country or working/middle class though.

Obamacare, the banking bill, NDAA, several other bills that I can't remember and has managed to distribute countless billions of dollars into the pockets of his cronies.

Miserable commie bastard.

#2  JohnQC - Good point. I was discussing Obama vs. Bill Clinton, and she reminded me that I didn't think Bill was so bad because he did very little that he said he was going to do when he campaigned.

Not so bad. Consider what things might be like if he did get things done. We would look like a full-blown executive branch dictatorship or a socialistic nightmare.
