| #2 Yeah, I intellectually recognize the value of freedom of the press and all that, but I have to admit there are times I would viscerally just LOVE to see some of America's big MSM jerkoffs get seriously ruffed and cuffed by the cops. Particularly the NYT MSM types. |

| #1 Geo TV reporter Mudasher Butt -- had his name changed from Dan Rather, as it was too embarrassing. |
