Douchebags were making headlines throughout 2007.
Given that it’s the holiday season, I originally thought it would be nice to spread some positive vibes and title this article “The Top Ten Most Important People of 2008,” but that would have been boring, right?…

I don't think this could have generated funnier responses had all of these same people been listed in the Top Ten People of 2007 instead of the DB list. On the other hand, it might make a fun comparison.... see which thread gets flamed more.
Popcorn, anyone?

cbs news-Former American fugitive Marc Rich was a middleman for several of Iraq's suspect oil deals in February 2001, just one month after his pardon from President Clinton, according to oil industry shipping records obtained by ABC News.
Oil for Food Scandal And a U.S. criminal investigation is looking into whether Rich, as well as several other prominent oil traders, made illegal payments to Iraq in order to obtain the lucrative oil contracts.
"Without that kind of middleman, the system would not work so why isnt mr & miss clinton on the list

"It would be a shame for McDonald's to even consider Mrs. Couric"-- What is wrong with you? Did she do something to you personally? I don't understand why people are so venomous to people they don't know. In all honesty Katie Couric has made millions because of her perkiness. Even though her attempts to perk up her current job haven't been greatly successful she's found her niche. How about you stop being a bystander in life and trashing all the people and go out and make your own millions.

From a foreigners point of view(scotland) I agree wholeheartedly with the biggest heafreager of the year but was a little disturbed not to even recognise some of the people who you call the douche bags of the year. Where was hu jintao for the tibet crisis where was robert mugabe for the 1,000,000,000% interest that has turned money into bogroll/toiletpaper and of course where were the other political douche bags from the uk.

You've got to remember, Jonny, that Daryl is an American, for whom the world ends at New York Harbor - you know, the place with that big bronze lady that just appeared out of nowhere one day a hundred-odd years back...
He would probably have difficulty finding China, Tibet, Zimbabwe and the UK on a map, let alone name any of their politicians.
But apart from Hu and Mugabe, who would figure in your personal top 10 of douchebags, Jonny?
Do we Brits even know what a douchebag is? I sure as hell don't, and I live over here.

since no one else brought this up I guess i will have to.
"Her biggest crime is that her behavior overshadowed her album Blackout, one of the best musical releases of the year. Many of us are rooting for Britney’s revival, but her constant self-destructive behavior makes that seem like a miracle. "
one of the best musical release of the year?
Realy?
I could name many many albums the were far better than that crap

I agree with most except for Hillary and Katie Couric. I'd replace them on the list with Sean Hannity and "Tingling Tweety" Chris Matthews. Two of the airways biggest blow hards. Especially now that Chris Matthews is going to run for public office or as I like to say "Change we do not need!". I may be liberal but I am not retarded, my poor stomach can't fathom a Senator Matthews. Sean Hannity, well he speaks for himself, nothing I can say more about him, it's all been said and it's all true. A real dickhead!
