It may not be as desirable as hottest rock star wife or as prestigious as greatest novel, but our own Congressman Jim McDermott has been named the 38th worst American.
In a new book by conservative author Bernard Goldberg the 100 worst Americans are ranked, from Michael Moore (number 1) to Hippie O'Flagburner (number 100).
Goldberg told the AP that McDermott had made the list because of his visit to Baghdad in the fall of 2002, where he criticized a possible war. "You have to reach a certain level of indecency to make it in the book. I think he reached that," said Goldberg.
After looking at the list which includes Jimmy Carter, Jesse Jackson and Ted Kennedy, McDermott told the Times, "Heck, I'm in good company." Maybe so, but he probably skipped over The Hilton Parents and Courtney Love.
Goldberg also has a few thoughts on our fair city, he calls Seattle the home of more “progressive loonies than anyplace else on the Left Coast."
Uhhh, note to Goldberg, it's called Berkeley.

God I love Jim McDermott he is an inspiration for generations of progresive Democrats. He has the biggest balls than anyone in the House of Representives. I have a picture of me and him framed on my wall.
Bernard Goldberg? Please...
Hey if you tick off the Neo-Cons and throw a monkey wrench into their plans then you are all right in my book. I just wish that Howard Dean was in the top 10.
