(Newser) – Needless to say, Gawker isn’t all that impressed with Barbara Walters’ annual list of the year’s 10 most fascinating people. The good news is, that didn’t stop blogger Seth Abramovitch from offering up his own list, of the year’s 10 least fascinating people, in response:

  • Piers Morgan: “The turnip-headed reality star turned CNN seat-filler loves Twitter wars and speaking over his guests almost as much as no one gives a s*** about him.”
  • Brett Ratner: Despite getting himself in the middle of an Oscars-related controversy this year, he “remains the least interesting filmmaker of his generation” and you probably can’t think of a single interesting scene in a movie he’s made.

  • Chelsea Clinton: “Were you aware that she has finally decided to embrace her celebrity this year? Do you care? No, of course you don't care.”
  • Oprah Winfrey: We learned this year that the only interesting thing about Oprah was her show, “and when the two parted ways, she instantly ceased to be fascinating.”
  • Meghan McCain: “The world's leading beneficiary of nepotistic kickbacks continues to be the least fascinating human being in the entire universe, ever.”

I don't see the point of this kind of list, or the gleefully crude an hateful comments, at all. It is simply more sick bullying, because sad little people with nothing to offer in their own right find a forum to attack those that do. It is a sad commentary on our society, especially just as the holiday season serves to focus our thoughts on our better natures. . Not that she needs me to defend her, but Chelsea Clinton doesn't deserve to be targeted as she has been all her life. This accomplished young woman was literally born into (during the time her father was governor of Arkansas), and has lived her entire life (notably through eight years in The White House), in the spotlight cast on her parents. She literally grew up in the public eye; attention, please note, that she has never asked for or exploited. During that time she has been subjected to the most horrid public comments and insults by adults, which says a lot more about the adults than her. What kind of adult does that to a child? Still, she was always well rounded, an excellent student, now a well educated and well traveled young woman, and has had not so much as a hint of bad behavior, let alone scandal. Whatever you think of her parents, politically or otherwise, they have always been devoted parents, and apparently did a fine job in rearing their daughter.Perhaps we would be better served to be taking notes, rather than taking shots. So Ms. Clinton was offered a job that apparently appealed to her, and she chose to take it... just as anyone else would do. Would it be too much to ask to give her a fair chance before abusing her? So many young women in the news every day that shape their fame and fortune around the lowest common denominator; many please note, that have nothing more than bad behavior and a famous surname to their credit. Frankly, I'm grateful Chelsea Clinton has taken a more public role now; adolescent girls could use a role model whose entire public image isn't based on poor character and appearing in public scantily clothed. Those who post crude and inappropriate comments probably have nothing more to their own credit than a vulgar vocabulary, and alas, no famous name to fall back on. Such a waste. In your heart of hearts, however, if you could choose, would you rather your daughter be like Chelsea Clinton, or one of the others who play out their tawdry lives in desperate search of camera to breathlessly report their most recent plastic surgery, their drugged and/or drunken cat fight, or their latest sex tape? Those who make cruel and tasteless comments can't hurt Chelsea Clinton, she is far too ahead of you on the evolutionary scale; however, perhaps you should be taking notes on her public persona, you might could learn something about how to conduct yourselves with dignity and self respect. In the meantime, challenge a person on the public issues on which they take a stand, their political viewpoints,, or their expressed thoughts and ideas; that is social discourse. However, verbal abuse is just that... Abuse.

Horse teeth Jr. was on Nightly news .....AGAIN tonight. For the love of GAWD...can we NOT be subjected to this fucked up family....please? Jesus, Mary and Joe! First, Slick Wilbur, then AppleHead Hillarous - a woman with NO shame, and now her pup; a below average dork, using her familys' "name" to further her "career". If her name was Brown, she'd be toiling in the mailroom. I bet veteran correspondents - privately (as they would not DARE speak ill of the daughter of one of their "heros") are steaming pissed that she gets to cozy up to Brian Williams and act all girlish. Her reports are about as stimulating as.......Obamas package of poo and kickbacks to his cronies. LOL

The McCain chick at least would smell good, be waxed and fit nicely on my mustache.
