Top Ten Worst Americans

I saw this meme on several blogs (hat-tip to Atlas Shrugs). Seems appropriate, given that the New Year is when we look back and decide what sucks and what rules. Anyhoo - who are your Top 10 Worst Americans? Worthy entries will be edited from the comments into this entry.

After I get back from Kalifornia tomorrow night, that is.

A couple of ground rules. They must be American citizens, born or naturalized. They must have performed some function, duty, crime, or act that distinguishes them from the pack (like Ted Kennedy). Along with the name of the person(s), please include why they (in your humble opinion) deserve inclusion in this hall of dishonor.

I'll start off.

How about Senators Sarbanes and Oxley, for their "contribution" to American industry? Mark my words - history books will point to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as one of the primary reasons for the ultimate failure of many publicly-held companies. You think the Income Tax code is ridiculous? Try maintaining SarbOx compliance in today's modern world.

Your turn

From Outlaw 13:

I would say Ms. Fonda made her mark because she was the first (if I'm wrong please correct me) high profile/celebrity American citizen to go to a nation we were at war with and actively support that nation, undermine the morale of troops, and participate in the propaganda campaigns of those who wish this country ill, and virtually suffer no ill effects to her career (much less go to jail), and she continues those actions to this day. Because her actions went unpunished, future Hanoi Janes out there, who aren't rising to the same traitorous level as her get away with it...she's one of the worst because she was the first.
