Sadly, Palin is the one who belongs on that list the most.

Honestly, I don’t know who some of these people are. One of the benefits of spending extended periods of time out of the country is that I don’t have to give a shit about “Jon & Kate.”

So that’s not a Photoshop.

…the fuck.

Whadda ’bout Levi’s Johnston and Tiger’s Wood?!

I have no idea about the Baba comments you slipped in there; this is one of the moment’s where you are amusing yourself and that’s all that matters, right? Hey, kinda like Baba’s list!

Wow, man, deep.

I live on my own with no cable TV subscription. The closest I get to watching TV is 15 year old Simpsons episodes (you know, back when they were funny). Going to home to visit my parents, who claim up and down they “don’t watch that much TV” is always a bit of culture shock.

Interestingly, I do spend extended periods of time in the country and I still don’t give a shit about “Jon & Kate.” And who the fuck is Taylor Swift? Why should I care? Also. Personally, I’m a whole hell of a lot more interesting than anyone on Babawawa’s list.

Oh dear, now I’m starting to miss Gilda. Again.

My only TV watching is TDS and Colbert; other than that I read. At my parents, the TV’s on at 4:30 and off when they get up to go to bed, all evening activities are done in front of it, including eating; is always tuned to some CSI clone or Bill O’Lielly, and thanks to my father’s hearing loss, always too fucking loud. Makes it impossible to ignore, but I guess that’s the right wing in a nutshell isn’t it?

“Fascinating” people? Is that like “interesting” times, as in the mythical Chinese curse? Some people find highway crashes fascinating, so, in that regard, I guess I can understand the list.

Caribou Barbie has officially replaced Shrub in the “visual equivalent of syrup of ipecac” department. Fascinating, indeed…

I think it’s great that women are taking a leading role in American politics…what’s wrong about that?

That baby looks like he’s about to throw up, and I sure as hell don’t blame him.

Is it true that Lady Gaga is Trig’s real father?

That list mirrors my LEAST fascinating and interesting people verbatim.

What is this “TV” thing of which you speak?

Is it an acronym for “terribly vile”?

NICE.

Wow, that is so not Sarah Palin’s color. Between this and the photo of the housecoat from a few days ago, I think she’s Gone Rogue on her wardrobe consultant. Doesn’t she understand that when she stops sending out sparkles, her audience will stop caring?

As for Barbara’s List, it’s always a reliable indicator of people everyone in America is already sick to death of, or in the case of Taylor Swift, never gave a crap about in the first place.

Ms. Walter’s list bears the same relation to ‘fascinating’ for the year in question as the late Mr. Blackwell’s, another famous drag performer, list bore to worst dressed of whatever year. If you pulled the covers off of all 52 issues of People, threw them into the air, and picked 10, you would have either list. Mr. Blackwell never dissed anyone’s fashion sense unless they had been mentioned in Suzy Says, Page 6, People, the Tonight Show and/or ET/Access Hollywood or (going waaaaay back when) Hedda’s, Lollie’s or Sheila’s gossip column or radio show.

Those people would only be fascinating if they were locked into the Thunderdome.

Godamighty. I got old tires more fascinating than anyone on THAT list.

I see they got matching outfits for the “interview”. Hard hittin’ tough journalist, that Barbara.

I agree with Barbara — Bible Spice is fascinating, in a WTF? kinda way. Even more fascinating are Sarah’s fans. You ever met a Palin lover? My not-so-bright sis-in-law luuuuvs Sarah. The fact that she voted for Hillary in the primary, and Obama in the general is the only thing that keeps us from pounding the sh*t out of her.

If Sarah gets the nom in 2012, I think we’ll have to lock sis-in-law in the closet on election day. She just can’t turn away from that “sparkle” that sophronia referenced down thread.

Sparkle? As in Stephanie Meyer “sparkle”?

Agh, now I am imagining Twilight fans joining forces with Palin fans…GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD!

If that is so, Taylor Swift would be the only one on the list who didn’t sleep with Tiger Woods this year.

I nominate this as the finest snark of the year.

When the Republican women “standouts” suck worse than the Republican men “standouts”, then there is something wrong with that. Like right now, with Bible Spice Bratz on their marquis.

Sarah is only “fascinating” if car wrecks are “fascinating”.
